We'd probably need some kind of win condition with resources I believe, otherwise they're just cool numbers dancing around without much apparent "game" purpose.
So, PROTO: ----*---- If nobody else has done so current the current Agoran Month, a player may Do a Parade by announcement and destroying for this purpose (and no other) an amount of assets which total 100 in having Parade Merit (and they CAN perform this destruction). Each of the following are considered to have 1 Parade Merit: ore, stones, lumber, apples, cotton, Each of the following are considered to have 2 Parade Merit: coins, paper, fabric, corn If the player who performed Do a Parade then has the most amount of Parade Merit, they have won the game Once a player has won in this fashion, no other player can until 30 Agoran Days have passed. ----*---- Alternatively and way more simpler: ----*---- By destroying 10 of each resource for the purpose of this rule and no other, a player achieves victory Once a player has won in this fashion, no other player can until 30 Agoran Days have passed. ----*---- On Sun, Feb 11, 2018 at 9:57 PM, Reuben Staley <reuben.sta...@gmail.com> wrote: > THE TITLE IS A JOKE > THE TITLE IS A JOKE > THE TITLE IS A JOKE > > I put that three times so no one can get mad at me. > > I submit and shiny-pend the following proposal: > > Title: Putting Agora on a Map v7 > Author: Trigon > Co-Authors: Aris, ATMunn, G., o, VJ Rada > AI: 2.6 > > [ PART I: Removing and Changing Stuff ] > > Amend rule 2445 "How to Pend a Proposal" by replacing the second > paragraph and subsequent list with: > > Any player CAN flip a specified proposal's imminence to "pending" > by announcement by destroying 1 paper. > > Amend rule 991 "Calls for Judgement" by replacing the first paragraph > and subsequent list with: > > Any person (the initiator) can initiate a Call for Judgement (CFJ, > syn.
