Proposal: Alternative start [Trivial]
Rewrite rule 11 - Horde so it reads:
If there is a GNDT field called "Family", rename it to "Live Members".
It trims a bit less than the other one.
Each Horde may have a number of Horde Members, either Dead or Alive; each of them has a Forename, a Gender (Male or Female) and (optionally) any number of Spouses.
Members of a Horde, when created, shall be stored in a GNDT field of 'Live Members'. Horde Members may die - this is signified by they being moved to a GNDT field of 'Dead Members'. Both Member fields are lists with each Member formatted as "Forename (Gender, married to Spouse)", with Gender as a single letter - a typical list might be "Hans (M, married to Gretchen), Gretchen (F, married to Hans), Gustav (M)".
If a Horde has fewer than two Live Members, it may recruit more. This costs the Horde 50 Brains, and allows the Horde to roll a DICE and create a number of Horde Members equal to half that DICE result, rounded down to a minimum of 1, each one with a Forename and Gender of their choosing (provided that each Forename has never been used for any Horde Member in the past). If more than one Horde Member is created this way, they may optionally be created married to each other.
Each Horde has a Surname, which is listed in the GNDT. A Horde's surname is initially the same as the name of that Horde; they may change their Surname from this to any other currently-unused Surname, at any time.
If there is a GNDT field called "Family", rename it to "Live Members".
It trims a bit less than the other one.
