[Spoon-business] Everlasting Moon


I submit the following a la carte proposal, to be titled "Everlasting Moon".
{{
Item 1:
 {{
Add the following rule, titled "Everlasting Moon", to the ruleset:
  {{
Whenever there's an update to what the weather is, some rolls of dice must
be made for the tide and lunar phase.

A. Phase.
First, 1d7 will be rolled to determine the moon's shape. On a one, it is
New. On a two or three, it is Crescent. Four and it is Quarter, five and six
mean Gibbous. A seven will make the moon Full. Next, the direction it is
changing will be determined. If the moon just was or now is New, it is
Waxing. If it just was or now is Full, it is Waning. Otherwise, 1d2 must be
rolled to determine waxing or waning.

B. Tide.
If the moon is Full or New, the tide is High. If it is Quarter, the tide is
Low. Otherwise, 1d8 is rolled. On a three or lower, the tide is High.
  }}
 }}

Item 2:
 {{
This item is contingent on Item 1 passing.
Add the following section to rule 441 [[Gnomes]]:
  {{
B.26. Gnomes Lunarly Jinxed.
There exist Flowtide, Ebbtide, and Moon gnomes. If the tide is High, and
there are no Flowtide Gnomes in existence, one is created. Similarly,
whenever the tide is Low but there are no Ebbtide Gnomes in existence, one
will be created.

Whenever a Flowtide Gnome or any entity holding one is next to a brook, the
brook gains the attribute "Tidal Strain" and all adjacent spaces and
anything on them gain the attribute "Wet".

Whenever an Ebbtide Gnome or any entity holding one is on a space with the
attribute "Wet", the space loses that attribute.
  }}
Add the following to the Wine List [[section C of rule 441]]:
  {{
Two Water Gnomes make one gnome that is either Ebbtide or Flowtide, at
random.
Two Ebbtide Gnomes, two Flowtide Gnomes, or one Ebbtide Gnome and one
Flowtide Gnome make one Moon Gnome.
  }}
 }}
Item 3:
 {{
This item is contingent on Item 1 passing.
So that the moon will be slightly cyclical, the following rule, titled
"Lunar Cycles", will be created:
  {{
Every nday, the phase of the moon shall change. If it had been New, it
becomes Waxing and Crescent. If it had been Waxing and Crescent, it becomes
Quarter. If it had been Waxing and Quarter, it becomes Gibbous. If it had
been Waxing and Gibbous, it becomes Waning and Full. If it had been Full, it
becomes Waning and Gibbous. If it had been Waning and Gibbous, it becomes
Quarter. If it had been Waning and Quarter, it becomes Crescent. If it had
been Waning and Crescent, it becomes New. [[Note that the tide is not
changed by this; it is only updated at weather updates.]]
  }}
 }}
Item 4:
 {{
Because e came up with a Song Form version of Items 1 and 2, Teucer shall be
given Charm as a Song Form proposal of eirs had passed.
 }}
Item 5:
 {{
This item is contingent on Item 4 passing.
Because e did not subject the ruleset to lengthy Song Form additions, Teucer
shall be given an additional point of Charm.
 }}
}}
