Current census: https://catagolue.hatsya.com/census/x2x1xmvsTheWayOfTheCon wrote: September 30th, 2026, 2:08 pm I think, with all the discussion happening on the rule by different people, that a thread should be made.
Old census (spaceships do not work): https://catagolue.hatsya.com/census/x11 ... vssheriffs
The main rule would be formatted as MVS(BC3-5,BR35,BX2-4,SC2-4,SW-2 3,S 345A,SM34,P4-6,CH6,XH3-5,MT2,ST2)
(there might be a simpler or shorter way to format it but this is just my idea lol)
The rule table: (Now uploaded as a rule)
Code: Select all
@RULE MVS
In this rule, evil murderers kill civilians and sheriffs while the heroic sheriffs kill murderers. All the time, people are either dying or being born.
For each condition, there are suggested variables for controlling them; 12 in total
However, some conditions may need to simply be merged into a catchall condition
Total Parameters (12) / format: MVS(BC,BR,BX, SC,SS,SX,SM, P, CH,XH, MT,ST), e.g. this is MVS(BC3-5, BR35, BX2-4, SC2-4, SS23, SX34, SM34, P4-6, CH6, XH3-5, MT2,ST2)
If it can be simpler, please do make it simpler lol
(Each digit, 0-8, in a parameter represents 1 value, and A-B represents a range of values from and including A to and including B. or means something specific depending on the condition that uses it)
