Re: DIS: Grey Land and the Fountain

I'd go with solution 2, but modified. What if we made it so that each facility could fit into (0 or more) "categories", and defined Production and Processing as categories. That way, we could extend it later without dealing with an exponential increase in the number of types. It also leave

Re: DIS: Grey Land and the Fountain

I ran into a problem that I figured I'd share and ask for input. "Asset Generation with Facilities" specifies that "Each facility is either a production facility or processing facility". The draft up there specifies that a fountain is a facility, but that it neither produces nor processes

Re: DIS: proto: patent award codification

Your phrasing sounds like an obligation to give the title to all deserving players. Maybe something like this? The following titles CAN be awarded to any player by the holders of the listed offices with 2 Support. They SHOULD only be given to players that meet the qualifications listed. -

Re: DIS: proto: patent award codification

Good thinking. Definitely will add SHOULDS to the standards for each, but probably good to say additionally in the rule that whether a player meets those standards is a political question not a judicial one (i.e. if it gets the right support/consent, it qualifies). Here's the old standard for

Re: DIS: Proto: PAoaM Patch

Other things we need to do: Make Agora the auctioneer for Land Auctions. Remove the last paragraph of the Facilities rule and replace it with "Facilities always have the same owner as their parent land unit" or smth. Add a destruction clause to the Facilities rule. Also maybe a rank-down the

DIS: proto: patent award codification

We used to have more Patent Titles named in the rules, and different officers were allowed to award them under certain conditions. We dropped that on the grounds that the Herald could generically award any of them when it seemed appropriate, but it meant the reasons for some of the awards
