Proposal: Well this is a meta dynasty so...

append the following onto the end of the last sentence in rule 9

unless it is a metadynasty.



as a side note there may be other things that should be changed due to metadynastyness, and a metadynasty might need to be defined in the glossery as somthing, just I don't know what

Proposal : Meritocracy

[ An obvious and simpler alternative to the whole "crown" thing, if Skill is the focus of the game. ]

Repeal Rule 14 (Equipment).

Rename Rule 11 (Victory) to "Skill", and move the last two paragraphs of Rule 10 to the start of Rule 11.

Add the following text to Rule 11, after the second paragraph:-

If a single Gremmie has a higher Skill than every other Gremmie, then that Gremmie is King of the Beach. If no single Gremmie has the highest Skill, then there is no King of the Beach.

Note to Kevan

I guess you could make the GNDT gif (the one over the main liks) a configurable thing, via Admin password. What do you think?

Proposal: Movement

In rule 10 - The Sea, change:

Gremmies can either be Swimming, Surfing, Standing or Wiped Out - this is their Stance, and a Gremmie can change their own Stance at any time. Gremmies on the Beach default to Standing - Gremmies trying to Stand in the Sea default to Swimming.

Gremmies may move, once per day - a Swimming or Standing Gremmie may add or subtract up to 5 from their Yards, and a Surfing Gremmie may subtract 10 from their Yards.

to

Gremmies can either be Swimming, Surfing, Standing or Wiped Out - this is their Stance and is tracked by the GNDT."

In rule 16 - Style change all instances of:

Their Stance is changed to "Wiped Out" and may not be changed again until another Gremmie changes their own Stance.

to

Their Stance is changed to "Wiped Out".

Create a rule named Movement and Stance:

A Gremmie that is not Wiped Out can change their own Stance at any time.

Only Gremmies with a positive Yard number may be Swimming or Surfing. Only Gremmies with a non-positive number may be Standing.

A Wiped Out Gremmie can only change their Stance if another Gremmie has changed Stance that same day, but not before they became Wiped Out.

Gremmies may move, once per day. The type of movement a Gremmie is allowed depends upon that Gremmie's Stance, as follows:

- a Swimming or Standing Gremmie may add or subtract up to 5 from their Yards. If their Yards change signs (positive to non-positive or vice-versa), their Stance shall be adjusted accordingly.

- a Surfing Gremmie may subtract 10 from their Yards, provided their current Yards is greater than 10.

- a Wiped Out Greemie cannot move.

Proposal: Total Wipe out

In rule 16 - Style, change:

Less than X. Wipe out!
The Gremmie fails to perform the Stunt and only moves half of distance they would have, rounding down. Their Stance is changed to "Wiped Out" and may not be changed again until another Gremmie changes their own Stance.

to

Less or equal X/10. Total Wipe out!

The Gremmie badly fails to perform the Stunt and only moves 1/10 of distance they would have, rounding down. Their Skill is reduced by one, which can result in a drowning, and their Stance is changed to "Wiped Out" and may not be changed again until another Gremmie changes their own Stance.

Less than X, but greater than X/10. Wipe out!
The Gremmie fails to perform the Stunt and only moves half of distance they would have, rounding down. Their Stance is changed to "Wiped Out" and may not be changed again until another Gremmie changes their own Stance.

Proposal: Hanging Ten

Add a rule called Style:

A Gremmie may attempt a Stunt to improve their Skill, or just to impress the beach bunnies. While catching a wave, a Gremmie may post a comment to the GNDT before they move with the wave, naming a Stunt (and optionally describing it) and including the text "Stunt(X):DICEY" where X is the target Skill level of the Stunt they are attempting and Y = (X + the Gremmie's Skill).

That Stunt Skill level is now established - any subsequent attempt to perform the same named Stunt by any Gremmie must use that target Skill level.

The result of the DICEY roll determines the level of success:

Less than X. Wipe out!
The Gremmie fails to perform the Stunt and only moves half of distance they would have, rounding down. Their Stance is changed to "Wiped Out" and may not be changed again until another Gremmie changes their own Stance.

Greater than X. Success!
The Gremmie performed the Stunt.

Equal to Y (highest possible roll). Perfect!
The Gremmie performed the Stunt and if the Stunt had a higher target Skill level than the their current Skill, they may increase their Skill by 1.


Add "Wiped Out" to the list of Stances in Rule 10.
