[spoon-discuss] another draft: The Weather

["David E. Smith" <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

[[ another draft proposal. ]]

Replace the text of Rule 405 with the following:

{{

A. Definitions

There exists Weather on the Grid. The Weather updates at the beginning of
the first and sixth days of each nweek.

B. Seasons

B.1. Winter
The first three nweeks of each nyear are Winter. Whenever the Weather is
updated, (the 15th Gremlin Number minus 15) is added to the Temperature.

B.2. Spring
The fourth and fifth nweeks of each nyear are Spring. Whenever the Weather
is updated, (the 15th Gremlin Number minus 5) is added to the Temperature.

B.3. Summer
The sixth, seventh, and eighth nweeks of each nyear are Summer. Whenever
the Weather is updated, (the 15th Gremlin Number plus 4) is added to the
Temperature.

B.4. Fall
The ninth and tenth nweeks of each nyear are Fall. Whenever the Weather is
updated, (the 15th Gremlin Number minus 8) is added to the Temperature.

C. Characteristics

The Weather has Characteristics. Only subsections of Section C of this
rule are Characteristics. This rule takes precedcence over any other rule
which defines a Characteristic of the Weather. [[ why is this sentence
here? I dunno what its author was trying to do. ]]

C.1. Temperature.
The Characteristic of Temperature has a value in Degrees Celsius. If the
Temperature is below 0, it is considered Freezing.
If at any time the Temperature goes below -30, it is set to -30. If it
ever goes above 40, it is set to 40.

}}

Set the Temperature to 10. (To synch things up with this new weather
schedule.)

[[ the seasons' temperature adjustments are just random numbers. I sorta
made 'em up. They presently lean towards fairly extreme seasons. ]]
