Proposal: Fruity

Make the following changes to Paper-Pushing, if such a rule exists. If it does not at the time of enactment, neither Josh nor the enacting admin gain dignity for its passage.

Amend the instructions for Generate Work to read:

This costs 10 Dignity. Teamsperson must make two comments of Paper:FRUIT to the GNDT. This allows them to create a new Paper of that fruit type combination in their own Inbox. (The District Manager may perform this action for free, if there are fewer than ten Papers in circulation.)


Add the following:

The effects of each paper vary depending on the fruit pattern on the stationary:

  • Lemon: Paper needs to be refered up. May be Delegated to a Teamsperson with higher Dignity.
  • Orange: Humiliating but urgent. Costs 20 Dignity to process under Actually Do Some Work, but may only be delegated twice (number of transfers is tracked in parentheses with the Paper in the GNDT). If it still has not been processed under Actually Do Some Work after 5 days, the holder looses 50 Dignity.
  • Kiwi: Open-ended. Automatically Generates more Papers when Delegated. The Delegating Teamsperson may Generate more work for Delegatee; Papers generated in this manner cost the Delegatee Dignity to produce, rather than the Delegator.
  • Hooch: High-Profile. Each time a Teamsperson Claims Credit on this Paper, the Dignity reward for Claiming Credit upon it goes up by 5. This rolling reward is tracked in square brackets with the Paper in the GNDT.
  • Lemon: Multi-facetted. Any Paper with Lemon as one of its multipul Fruit types may be delegated to a number of seperate Teamspersons equal to the number of Fruit types the paper has, with each Teamsperson getting a Paper with one of the original Paper's fruit types. A Paper with just Lemon as its Fruit type may be combined with any existing Paper in the Teamsperson's Inbox, adding Lemon to its Fruit Type. Any Paper with only one Fruit Type may be added to any paper in the same Teamsperson's Inbox that has Lemon as one of it's Fruit types.
  • Bar: Routine and daily. Costs no Dignity to process under Actually Do Some Work, but gains no Dignity under Claim Credit.


I hope it's not too long to get enacted. Makes things interesting anyway, and at least it's not tea.
