Proposal: Parting the viel of mists

If Proposal: Competition for Space fails, this fails automatically.

Change all incidences of the term 'Strain' in rules 1, 2, 4, 7, 9 and 10, excluding where part of the term 'Control Strain', to 'Player', the last paragraph of Rule 2 (while also fixing the obvious loophole contained therein), and the third paragfraph of Rule 10; and also including the second paragraph of Rule 3. Add the following to Rule 2:

Players may or may not control Strains, which are tracked in the GNDT. This paragraph may be deleted by a new Control Specimen at his or her Ascension.


Add the following to Rule 5:

The final vote from the first player controlling a Strain must be considered to be the valid vote for that Strain. This paragraph may be deleted by a new Control Specimen at his or her Ascension.


To the first sentence of the fourth paragraph of Rule 10, add the term "Player" to the list of terms that a new Control Strain may change.

Add the following

A Strain that is the victim of an absorbtion or smothering may choose to cede control of itself. In this case, the player who controls the Strain has two choices:

1. Be absorbed into the hostile strain. The attacking strain gains all of the target strain's Size and Population, and the target strain is deleted from the GNDT. However, the player in control of the defending Strain now has equal control over the attacking strain; the name of the Strain is changed in the GNDT to reflect this, as is the password, which both players will have access to.

2. Self-destruct the defending Strain. The attacking Strain gains any Size of Population they would under the terms of this rule; they then gain half of the remainder of the defending Strain’s Size and Population. The Player may then create a new Strain with 65 Size and 1 Population. If two or more players control a Strain, then any of them may elect to create a new Strain as outlines in this option at any time; however, they cede any rights they may have had over the old Strain.



Failed as follows from stipulation in first paragraph. -3 to Josh, +2 to Truman
