I have TFBB give me a bandwidth, if it can, and then, if I have bandwidth,
submit the following, which is set to the tune of a Jimmy Buffett song
called "Everlasting Moon":

{{
[[synopsis: creates lunar phases and tides. Creates ebbtide and flowtide
gnomes, and the effects thereof. Creates moon gnomes but fails to specify
what they are for.]]
 {{
whenever there's an update
to what the weather is
some rolls of dice must we make
for the tide and lunar phase

the first is 1d7
for the shape the moon now has
on one it's new - the heavens
are dark when day has passed

two or three then mean
it's crescent can be seen
four a half moon signifies
and gibbous on six or five
seven means full moon

next if it was or is now
full we say it starts to wane
if new whatever you shout
still waxing shall it remain

else the admin must figure
out results for 1d2
if one the moon's a waner
waxing if that isn't true

if the moon is full
or if new, then its pull
leads us to declare high tide
but at half low shall preside
triggered by the moon

on gibbous or on crescent
1d8 now Dave must roll
three or less high tide is present
otherwise we say it's low
 }}
shall be added to the ruleset
titled __everlasting moon__
to 441 (gnomes) we go next
to create a section new:
 {{
__B.26.
Gnomes lunarly jinxed__
whenever the tide is high
and no flowtide gnome is nigh
one must appear soon

ebbtide gnomes exist too
and one is created when
none exist and the tide is low
and put on the grid right then

wherever one that's flowtide
or someone holding one
next to a brook starts to reside
or make eir presence known

then the brook shall gain
the attribute 'tidal strain'
and all nearby squares shall be
made wet instantaneously
from the gnome and moon

whenever an ebbtide gnome
or any entity
holding or carrying one
near a wet space passes the

gnome shall make the space dry
 }}
and then to the wine list add
the following brand new lines
 {{
Two water gnomes make one ebbtide

Two water gnomes can
make also ebbtide and
the decision is random
or a pair of tidal gnomes
make one of type moon
 }}
}}
