Summon Cookie:
(Since its seems that getting light/dark cookies is difficult and getting oven mitts is now quite easy.)
Name: Summon Cookie
Pages: 4 pages
Cost: 2 Oven Mitts
Effect: This spell creates one Light or one Dark Cookie, caster's option, chosen when they start casting the spell. (If this is too difficult to implement Jeff feel free to instead implement 2 spells one called Summon Light Cookie, the other Summon Dark Cookie. Which each summon one cookie of the respective type. These spells should be identical to this spell in all ways other then name and effect.)
Duration: instantaneous the spell creates the cookies then immediately ends. The cookies remain as permanent items until some other effect removes them.
Casting time: 2 days
Cool down time: NoneA more reasonable goal for players to win the game:
If one player has more than double the total money of all other players combined, then that player is the winner of Nomopoly III.
The above statement only applies if EXACTLY one player meets this condition. If two or more players meet this condition at the same time (which could happen if one or more players have very large negative amounts of money via a loophole of some sort), then no winner is declared.Name: Teleport
Pages: 3
Cost: $25*X
Casting Time: Instantaneous
Cool Down Time: 2 turns
Effect: X may not be 0. Teleport causes you to jump from your current square (number N) to square Y, given by the following result d of an 11 sided die roll:
For d from 4 to 8 (inclusive), Y=N+X.
For d below 4, Y=N+X-d.
For d above 8, Y=N+X+d-8.
If Teleport would cause you to jump past the last square of the board, continue counting from the first square for the purposes of determining the destination square (ie: if the board has 20 squares and Teleport would cause you to jump to square 22, you land on square 2) Likewise for jumping to any other square that does not exist, continue counting at the next existing square (so jumping to square -1 causes you to jump to square 19 on a 20 square board).
example: I cast teleport for X=4, on square 7. The following results occur depending on what I roll on d11:
Roll a 1: square 10
2: square 9
3: square 8
4 through 8: square 11
9: square 12
10: square 13
11: square 14Name: Summon Dark Cookie Monster
Pages: 5
Cost: X Dark Cookies, where X is a whole number of the player's choice that is lower or equal to eir level.
Effect: A Dark Cookie Monster from the Inferno is summoned to target Square, with 10*X HP. Instead of taking your turn, you may move a DCM up to 6 spaces forwards or backwards or tell it to use it's Inferno Breath on any player on it's Square, causing the Player to lose 10 HP. A player on the same Square as a DCM may feed it a Cookie. If it's a Light Cookie, then it loses 10 HP, and if it's a Dark Cookie it gains 10 HP. If a DCM runs out of HP it goes back to the Inferno.
Duration: X turns
Casting time: 3 days
Cool Down time: 3 days Name: Ignite
Pages: 2
Cost: Any one item the player casting the spell has in there inventory at time of casting.
Effect: Causes the Selected item to start on fire. The item becomes a fireball and looses all attributes (other than that of a fireball) that the item had. The fireball takes a space in that playerâ??s inventory. If the fireball remains in a playerâ??s inventory for 8 hours it deals them 2 damage. If a fireball remains in a playerâ??s inventory for 40 hours (dealing them a total of 10 damage) the fire ball is destroyed. The fire ball can be thrown forwards or backwards along the board. The fireball hits the first player that it reaches in its respective direction causing that player 15 damage. The fireball is destroyed when it hits a player. Any one player may not have more than 1 fireball in there inventory at a time.
Casting time: instant
Cool Down time: 48 hours
(Aside: I know that I'm technically using a loophole here that I'm trying to fix, but I'm only doing it for two reasons: to demonstrate that it can be done, and to make the proposed fixes to it (and other loopholes and oddities) as quickly as possible, to prevent abuse. The basic summary is to create a spell that when cast, will have the following effects: prevent further modifications to the rules via spells, prevent the modification of spell books at odd times, such as during the casting of a spell, or multiple times in order to identify spells, and finally to seperate spell and rule proposals so that players may have one of each in voting status at the same time as was originally intended but not stated clearly enough. I want spells to work, and there's too many inconsistancies and areas for abuse right now. Note that the effect of the spell will not remove the spell from the game until after it is cast.)
Name: Fix it NOW!
Pages: none
Cost: none
Duration: permanent
Casting Time: none
Cool Down Time: none
Effect:
Make the following changes to the rules:
Spells may not have as part of their effect a change to the rules. Any spell which has an effect that would change the rules is removed. Any proposal that would create a new spell that would change the rules as part of its effect is rejected, without having to conclude its voting period.
Players may only add, re-order, or delete a spell from their spell book if they are not casting a spell or cooling down from a previous spell. Players may only add a new spell to their spell book if they have not added a spell to their spell book in the last 24 hours.
Define two types of proposals, rule and spell.
(The above effects take place simultaneously, along with the following replacement.)
In addition, replace section VIII-Proposals with the following:
1. A player may make a rule proposal at any time, provided that player does not currently have any rule proposals in the game that have "Voting" status. A player may make a spell proposal at any time, provided that player does not currently have any spell proposals in the game that have "Voting" status.
2. A spell proposal is a proposal whose sole effect is to add only one spell to the game. A rule proposal is one of the following:
a) The addition of a new rule.
b) The deletion of an existing rule.
c) The modification of an existing rule.
d) A change to the game state which does not necessarily fit into one of the above categories.
If a spell proposal is made whose effect is to do more than add only one spell to the game, that proposal shall be re-classified as a rule proposal. If that player already has a rule proposal in "Voting" status, the spell proposal is rejected, without having to conclude its voting period.
3. No proposal may make any reference to a characteristic of a player if that characteristic is immutable within the set of rules at the time the proposal is accepted, ignoring the fact that rules may change in the future.
4. No proposal may have retroactive application or take effect earlier than the moment it is implemented.
5. When a proposal is made, it is given "Voting" status. When a proposal is in "Voting" status, all players have the option to vote on it. A player may vote either "Yes" or "No" on the proposal. A player may not vote more than once on a single proposal.
6. 120 hours (or 72 hours if the proposal is a spell) after a proposal is made, if the proposal received more "Yes" votes than "No" votes, then the following will happen:
a) The proposal is switched to "Pending" status
b) The player who made the proposal receives 25 experience points
c) Each player who voted "Yes" on the proposal receives an oven mitt
If the proposal did not receive more "Yes" votes than "No" votes, it is switched to "Dead" status.
7. Once a "Pending" proposal has been implemented into the rules, it is switched to "Dead" status.
8. Once voting on a proposal has been completed, the number of players who voted "Yes" and "No" on the proposal will be made public, however, each individual player's vote will not be made public at any time.
9. A proposal that is in "Voting" status may be retracted by the player who made it. Retracting a proposal immediately puts it in "Dead" status.
10. The Admin has the right to refuse to implement any proposal that in his opinion is discriminatory, paradoxial, infeasible to implement, or destructive of gameplay.Background:
Tenshi is the patron of all things light. Akuma is the patron of all things dark. Tenshi lives on the Upper board. Akuma on the Lower board.
Summon Akuma:
If a player breaks 10 light cookies, this action removes them from the game, a wholly dark action. Then that player will get the attention of Akuma whom comes to the square the player currently occupies and remains there for 5 days.
While the player whom summoned Akuma is at the same square as he is, that player may purchase dark cookies for a fee of $500 per cookie (horn trimmings aren't free you know).
Also, if any player is at the same square as Akuma or moves through a square with Akuma and they posses any light cookies. Akuma will get very angry and causes those light cookies to explode (which removes them from the game) and deals 10 damage to the player whom possessed the cookies for each cookie they had.
Summon Tenshi:
If a player breaks 10 dark cookies, this action removes them from the game, a wholly light action. Then that player will get the attention of Tenshi whom comes to the square the player currently occupies and remains there for 5 days.
While the player whom summoned Tenshi is at the same square as she is, that player may purchase light cookies for a fee of $400 per cookie (halo shinings aren't free you know).
Also, if any player is at the same square as Tenshi or moves through a square with Tenshi and they posses any dark cookies. Tenshi will get very sad and causes those dark cookies to dissolve (which removes them from the game), but Tenshi is much kinder then Akuma and this does not do any damage to the player.
Additional Summon rules:
After Tenshi or Akuma has been on the board for 5 days they return the Upper or Lower board respectively. Since these boards do not yet exist presently this removes them from the game until they are summoned again.
Tenshi and Akuma hate each other. If Tenshi and Akuma are both on the board at the same time they engage in battle and both return home (are removed from the game).
If while Tenshi is summoned a player summons Tenshi then she moves from her current square to the square where the player has just summoned her. If while Akuma is summoned a player summons Akuma then he moves from his current square to the square where the player has just summoned him. In either case the timer for Tenshi or Akuma's return is reset (so they will remain on the board for an additional 5 days)Any time a player collects salary as described in rule XV a new square will be added on to the end of the boardAn owner of a square may rename the square at any time but limited to 1 name change per square per week.Squares whose last digit is a 1 or 6 are now considered stores. Any time a player occupies a square that is a store, that player may purchase items from the store.
Stores currently sell the following items:
Healing Salves
Price: $100
Description: Healing Salves may be used at any time. When a player uses a Healing Salve, that player gains 10 hit points.
Paper
Price: $750
Description: Paper may be used at any time that a player would be able to cast a spell. When a player uses paper, that player gains one additional page in their spell book.
Resurrection Ankh
Price: $500
Description: If a player who owns a Resurrection Ankh has less than 0 hit points, that player may use the Resurrection Ankh to have their hit points set to one half their maximum hit points (rounded down) and lose one half their current experience (rounded up).
A player's maximum hit points is defined to be 50*(their level). If a player's hit points are ever greater than their maximum hit points, that player's hit points are set to their maximum hit points.
If a player is disabled for 7 days (168 hours), that player "dies." If a player "dies," that player is placed on the first square of the board (is not considered to leave their initial square or land on their destination square), loses their current experience (their experience is set to 0), their level is decreased by 1, that player loses $500*(their level), and has their hit points set to one half their maximum hit points (in that order, so dying at level 5 with 400 experience causes the following to happen in order: their experience is set to 0, their level drops to 4, they lose $2000, and their hit points are set to 100, half of the maximum of 200 as defined above).Light Proposal:
The Light Inferno Oven's name shall be changed to Light Paradiso Oven. (Paradiso is the oppisite of Inferno)
When thrown, Light Cookies now cause the target player to gain 10 Hit Points.
Borks grab Light Cookies as well. If the target has a Dark Cookie and a Light Cookie it grabs both. If the target has three or more Cookies of both types then the Bork grabs one of each.
Light Cookies can also be used in place of Dark Cookies while buying Squares.
Whenever a proposal is accepted, the player who made the proposal receives 25 experience points, and all players who voted Yes on that proposal each receive an oven mitt.KO Experience:
If a player's (A) action causes another player (B) to become Disabled from a non-disabled state (as per rule XIV.2) A will be given 10 Experience. A will only receive experience from Disabling B once per month per player. So if Le Roc disables The Founder then I will get 10 Experience for doing so. If two weeks later I disable Ariana then I will also get 10 Experience. If then a week later I disable The Founder again I will not receive experience. If then two weeks after that (so 5 weeks after the beginning of the example) I disable The Founder a third time I will once again receive my 10 experience. (I in no way mean any offense to The Founder and Ariana they are merely the names I pseudo-randomly chose for my example).
Fight!(Aside: Please see the message board topic "Proposal #19 - Clarification" for examples and if you would like to ask questions for further clarification on it. This is a long one, but I want to be sure things are clearly defined so that future spells can be easily created.)
Add spells to the game. Players now have a "spell book," containing all the spells that player knows. A player may "cast" a spell at any time. Players may not cast spells they do not know (ie: are not in their spell books).
A spell takes up a number of "pages" in a spell book. Initially, each player has 10 pages in their spell book. Players may add or remove spells from their spell book, and may also re-order their spell book, at any time. Spells added to a spell book are initially added at the end of the spell book.
Players may only keep an amount of spells in their spell book such that the total number of pages occupied by their spells does not exceed the number of pages in their spell book. If a player, at any time, has in their spell book a set of spells such that the total number of pages of those spells exceeds the number of pages in that player's spell book, the last spell in that player's spell book is removed.
New spells may be added to the game in a similiar fashion to proposals. The only change is that the voting period is shortened to 3 days (72 hours).
Spells have the following defining characteristics:
Name
Pages - how many pages the spell takes up in a spell book. Default is one page.
Cost - payed at the time of casting. If the cost of the spell to be cast cannot be payed at the time of casting, that player cannot cast the spell.
Effect - What the spell does. Takes effect upon successful casting of the spell. Targets (if any) are chosen (by default) when the spell starts being cast, and may not be changed for that spell.
Duration - How long the spell lasts. By default, spells are permanent.
Casting time - How long it takes to cast a spell (in days, turns, etc.), it begins when the player chooses to cast the spell. If a player is casting a spell (has begun casting a spell but the casting time has not yet elapsed), that player cannot cast another spell. When the casting time of the spell has elapsed, the spell is said to have successfully been cast. By default, spells take one turn to cast. A player may voluntarily stop casting a spell at any time during the casting time of their spell.
Cool Down Time - How long, after casting a spell, that player cannot cast any spells. By default, spells have no cool down time.
---
The following properties are public:
Whether a player is casting a spell or not.
How many pages and what spells are in another player's spell book.
Upon successful casting, what spell was cast is public.
The following properties are private:
What order a player's spells are in, in their spell book.
What spell a player is casting, unless the player who is checking knows the spell that a player is casting.
Chosen targets of a spell, if any, unless the player would know which spell is being cast.Once per day, Items may be thrown at a player that is 1 to 6 squares ahead. What happens depends on the item thrown:
Oven mitt: The targeted player catches the Oven mitt and keeps it.
Narf: The Narf transforms into a Hippopottamus so fat that it pushes the targeted player and everyone on eir Square a space ahead. The Hippo hops off the board afterwards.
Bork: If the targeted player has a Dark Cookie then the Bork boomerangs back the player who threw it along with the Dark Cookie.
Dark Cookie: The Dark Cookie explodes, and the target player loses 10 hit points.
When you land on a square you may purchase it, providing it is unowned. The cost of the square depends on its number
Let n be the square number:
- If n is a multiple of 2: The cost is n / 2 oven mitts
- If n is a multiple of 3: The cost is n / 3 experience points (the player may not go into negative experience to make the purchase)
- If n is a multiple of 5: The cost is 5 narfs
- If n is a multiple of 7: The cost is 2 borks
- If the last digit of n is 1: The cost is 1 Dark Cookie
- If any digit in n is a 3: The cost is 3 Oven Mitts
- If n is prime: The cost is 50 * n Nomopoly dollars
If the square falls into more than one of the above categories, the cost of the square is the sum of the costs of all relevant categories. (example: square 14 is a multiple of 2 and a multiple of 7, so the cost of square 14 would be 7 oven mitts and 2 borks).
Upon buying a square the owner must give the square a name. The name may not be the same as the name of any other square.
When you land on a square that is owned by another player, you must pay the square owner "rent", which is (10 * the square number) nomopoly dollars.Just so that the whole light and dark thing stays balanced:)
Square number 20 is the Light Inferno Oven. A Player at the L.I.O. may spend an Oven Mitt to gain a Light Cookie.
Salary:
When a player moves from the highest numbered square on the board to the lowest numbered square, at the time of the writing of this proposal that is a move from square 20 to square 1, they will be given a Salary of $100 times their level before they are given their 1 point of experience for taking their turn. A player will only receive their salary once per week regardless of how many times they may make that transition during that time. Note that when a player moves from one square to another they move through all of the squares between those two. So if you move from square 15 to square 5 then you will collect your salary provided you haven't done so within the last week.Players now have a new attribute: "hit points". Each player starts with 50 hit points (at the time this rule is enacted, each player without any hit points has their hit points set to 50). Hit points are measured in integers. If a player's hit points would become a non-integer value, that player's hit points becomes the nearest integer value instead.
Players who have less than one hit point are disabled, and may not take a turn. Any player who would be fined and would have a turn taken for them as a result of not taking a turn in the required time as per rule VII-3 while disabled, is not fined and does not have a turn taken for them.Well, as it seems that people don't want squares to be bought. That's allright, perhaps we should have more of a "Trading Commodities" theme.
Square 10 is the Dark Inferno Oven. A Player at the D.I.O. may spend an Oven Mitt to gain a Dark Cookie.Any time you pass square #1 you have the option to trade in 4 oven mitts and receive 2 narfs and a bork.Player Level:
Every player will have a new property hence forth called "Level". A player's Level should always be an integer number. If a player's Level is ever a fraction then their Level will immediately be rounded down to the nearest integer. Thus if a player's Level becomes 5.5 then it will be rounded to 5. If a player's level becomes -5.5 it will be rounded to -6. Initially each player's Level will be 1.
Player Experience:
Each player will also be given a new property called "Experience". Like Level a player's Experience should always be an integer. Similarly if a player's Experience ever becomes a fractional value it will be rounded down to the nearest integer. Initially each player's Experience will be 0.
Gaining Experience:
Whenever a player sucesfully takes a turn they will have their Experience increased by 1.
Gaining Levels:
If a player's experience is greater then or equal to that player's Level * 100 they will have their Experience set to 0 and their Level will be increased by 1.
Losing Levels:
If a player ever has an amount of experience less then 0 then that player's Experience will be set to 0 and their level will be decreased by 1.I propose that you may not bet a negative amount of money so that when you lose you then gain that money. Proposal to add a new rule, VI.9:
The board is considered to be in a loop. An attempt to move ahead from the last square of the board will result in the player moving to Square #1. Similarly, attempting to move back from Square #1 will result in a move to the last square of the board.
