Proposal: You Owe Me Nothing in Return

Something has just slipped the mind of the great Philosopher-King. He goes back and checks some dialogues. Ah, yes! The lives of the auxiliaries and guardians were physically and mentally grueling. Only the producers were allowed the time for leisure, even though we all know they are morally depraved and irrational.

• Therefore, he haughtily submits that the following be encoded as a rule entitled “Gruel”:

Occasionally, the Philosopher-King may issue an edict in which e details some sort of formatting limit to what counts as a legal proposal (e.g. All legal proposals must not exceed five hundred words). The edicts shall be displayed as a list in the last paragraph of this rule.

• And a GNDT column added entitled “Property” with the following accompanying rule encoded also entitled “Property”:

Disciples may purchase land, buildings, slaves, cheese, and a few other favorite things with their Gold. Whenever a new piece of property is proposed to be added to the list below, the proposer must use the format [Name of Property]: {Price in gold} – (Any special effects or limitations it might carry). The following is a list of possible things they might purchase and add under their “Property” field in the GNDT:

House: 10 – Only producers may purchase a house as auxiliaries and guardians live in state sanctioned barracks and dorms, respectively. Disciples who own a house may ignore up to one edict issued by the Philosopher-King.

Slaves: 25 – Disciples who own slaves may often add five to their Gold. Whenever a Disciple makes such an addition to their gold as the result of owning slaves, for the subsequent 24-hour period each Disciple not owning slaves may decrease the slave-using Disciple’s honor by the number of slave-owning Disciples.
