Well, as I said, it's deliberately hard. Maybe too hard, but I did write it with the aim of making it as hard as possible (while still achievable). Probably more important than how "hard" it is is how long it would take to achieve. I don't know if many people play continuously for long enough. However I like the idea of having something like this quietly bubbling away in the background for a few years. Gameplay that long term won't be found in any other game. Your suggestions look like a good reform of Ribbons, would vote FOR. It's the middle ground you're looking for, or at least as close as you can get. > On Sun, 23 Jun 2013, Kerim Aydin wrote: >> Had a pass on possible Ribbon alterations to make it harder but keep it >> across a range of activities: >> >> > (+B) Judge a non-crimial case on time. >> Keep same, good to have a cheap one to encourage civil service. >> >> > (+C) Deputize for an Office. >> Change to "win a contested election for an office" where a contested >> election is one with 2+ valid candidates at end of voting period. >> >> > (+G) Hold 1+ offices for a month, miss no time limits for duties. >> Now that we have salaries, change this to the equivalent of an N-months >> long service award (suggest 6 months) though not tied to perfection on >> duties. >> >> > (+I) Earn a degree. >> Keep. >> >> > (+K) Judge a criminal (sentencing) case on time. >> Don't like this one (incentives for sentences? though the 'black' is cute >> theme).
