Proposal: Reprogramming With A Very Large Axe

[ I'm finding it a bit difficult to keep track of the rule-changes that the Computer is declaring in response to the Queries - that new Machineries and Locations are being a bit lost amongst the storytelling. It'd be easier just to have the Computer alter the Ruleset to add specific Machinery or Locations, at the time of the answer. ]

Reword Rule 15 (Data Banks) to:-

A Query is a Command. The Command Phrase is ">QUERY" and the Command Parameters consist of a single question.

In its response, if the Computer responded "affirmative" or "negative", then it must also include a statement answering the question asked, and optionally announcing changes to the Ruleset as a result of this statement (which must be enacted by the Computer as part of the response). These changes are limited to the addition, removal and alteration of Machinery and Locations.

A log of all Queries and their responses shall be kept in the QueryLog Wiki page; this needn't be updated as part of the response, and may be maintained by any Admin Crew Members.


[ And to move the game-affecting elements into the Machinery rules:- ]

To the "Power Core" Machinery, add:-

If anyone is Pressing the Buttons on the Power Core (marked 'Emergency Manual Power Initiation'), then the effects of Turning the Knobs on the Power Core are ignored.


Add some new Machinery:-

Hidden Speakers [Briefing Room] The Hidden Speakers are currently playing 'Brandenburg Concertos' by Johannes Sebastian Bach. The Computer may change this music at any time.


Tick Timed out 8-7.
