Retroactive Family Gathering

When Family, GNDT, Death passed, "each Family [was] given two Family Members, one male, one female", but there was no way to administrate this, as the GNDT didn't support the proposed data structure.

Now that Family Values has passed, though, the GNDT is now able to track Family Members, and it seems reasonable that Familes be allowed to add the two Family Members that already existed.

From the wording and implications of "Family, GNDT, Death", each Family may (nay, must) retroactively assign themselves two Family Members:-


  • One Male, and one Female.
  • Each with a name of the Family's choosing, "provided no similar or identical name exists".
  • Both with an Age of zero (it being implied by the proposal that all Family Members start with an Age of zero days).


These Family Members are already considered to exist for the purposes of the game, including the time-passage clause of "Death and Inheritance", so for clarity's sake I've given everybody a load of "Unnamed" Family Members which they're allowed to retroactively rename.
