DRAFT 1: Return of the Oligarchy
Co-authors: Murphy
{Rules and paragraphs to be amended will be worked out as this is
fleshed out.}
Rank is a player switch with values Citizen (default), High Oligarch,
Middle Oligarch, and Low Oligarch. Rank values other than Citizen
may be collectively referred to as "Oligarch Ranks." Players of
Oligarch Ranks may be collectively referred to as "Oligarchs."
A player MAY switch eir Rank by announcement and upon payment of the
designated fee, if e has not previously successfully switched eir
Rank during the current month. Any player may switch eir Rank to
Citizen. Any player may switch eir Rank from Citizen to an Oligarch
Rank if an opening exists in that Oligarch Rank. Any first-class
player may switch eir Rank from one Oligarch Rank to another if an
opening exists in that Oligarch Rank.
Rank limits and powers:
* High Oligarch: 1 spot. Eir VVLOD is 6 times what it otherwise
would be, with a minimum of 3. (Compute VVLOD normally, and then
apply this rule.)
* Middle Oligarch: 2 spots. Eir VVLOD is 3 times what it otherwise
would be, with a minimum of 3. (Compute VVLOD normally, and then
apply this rule.)
* Low Oligarch: 4 spots. Eir VVLOD is 2 times what it otherwise
would be, with a minimum of 3. (Compute VVLOD normally, and then
apply this rule.)
{TODO: Add schedule of fees, most likely in Notes, to change ranks.
Add schedule of upkeep fees. Add other useful powers. Get lots of
feedback and improve this proposal.}
