===Medal Box===

A player's medals are tracked on their character sheet in a special portion labeled "Medal Box". Nothing may be inside this portion of the sheet except for icons representing medals that player has earned.

==== Tracking → Nomster Bond ====

''<small>Wiki editor's note: This rule is technically a valid subrule of both top-level '''Tracking''' rules. It is placed in this top-level rule instead of the other top-level rule because it was the most recently-defined.</small>''

Players may be bonded to one nomster. If they are bonded to a nomster, they cannot become bonded with another.

When a player becomes bonded to a nomster, they gain that nomster's type as their own type, which should be recorded on their character sheet along with the name of the nomster they are bonded to.

A trade is an exchange of items between two entities with each entity giving a specified finite set of items to the other. Reputable players may trade with other reputable players. A trade takes place when both parties explicitly consent to such a trade by sending a card or message in #trades within 7 days of each other.

=== ~~Adoption~~ ===

=== Treats ===

~~Reputable players may start the process of adoption by giving a nomster a~~ treat. Any player may gain one treat if they do not have any treats. An adoption is successful if and when the nomster joins their team. A successful adoption may be included in the stipulations for the consent of a trade or for another adoption.

A treat is an item. Any player may gain one treat if they do not have any treats.

=== Terraforming ===

Once per phase, a player may terraform the location they are at by announcement to map-actions , if two Nomsters of the type that matches the "Primary Location Type" tag of that location are at that location, and at least one of those Nomsters is on that player's team.

Once per phase, a player may terraform the location they are at by announcement to map-actions , if two or more Nomsters of the type that matches the "Primary Location Type" tag of that location are at that location, and at least one of those Nomsters is on that player's team.

If a location doesn't have a tag of family "Primary Location Type", this action fails.

The player must specify one of the following tag families, and must specify a tag from that family, or "Random". The families are: ~~"Chaos Level" and~~ "Population Level"

The player must specify one of the following tag families, and also must specify a tag from that family, or instead specify "Random". (thus a family and (tag or random) must be chosen) The families are: "Population Level"

Once that announcement has at least 3 🧭 reactions, and the nomsters have not left the location, the terraforming is complete. and the location has that tag added. If the ~~tag specified is~~ "Random", randomly choose one of the valid ~~types~~ from the specified family, and ~~the location has~~ that tag ~~added~~ instead. If the tag is added successfully, the player who terraformed gets 5 Gooderhose points.

Once that announcement has at least 3 🧭 reactions, and the nomsters have not left the location, the terraforming is complete. and the location has that tag added. If the player specifies "Random", since it is not referring to a tag, any player can (once) randomly choose one of the valid tags from the specified family and add that tag, instead. If the tag is added successfully, the player who terraformed gets 5 Gooderhose points.

==== Surveying ====

Line 321:

Line 330:

If the rule for a Nomster Action says it can only be performed by a wild nomster, it can not be issued as a command.

==== Cuddle ====

If they are in the same location, a player may cuddle a tame nomster by posting a card or message to #game-actions, specifying the nomster they are cuddling and a written description, however brief, of how they intend to cuddle it. This is an important step in the bonding process.

=== Teams ===

When a player tames or adopts a nomster, it is added to their team, and that player becomes that nomster's trainer.

Bonded nomsters are always on the team of the player they are bonded to, and that player is always their trainer.

===Population===

Line 365:

Line 379:

===Taming===

Once per ~~phase~~, if a player is in the same location as a wild nomster, they can attempt to tame it.

Once per day, if a player is in the same location as a wild nomster, they can attempt to tame it.

The player can make this attempt by rolling a d3. It is successful if the result of the roll is 3.

==== Lick ====

When given as a command, the Nomster licks the located entity specified if ~~they are in the same location and~~ it is ~~otherwise~~ able.

The nomster can lick an entity only if they are in the same location and it is otherwise able. When given as a command, the Nomster licks the located entity specified if it is able.

When a player is licked by a nomster, if it is the first time for them to be licked by that nomster that phase, the player who was licked gains 5 ~~gooderhose~~ points. The player gains no points, however, if ~~they own~~ the nomster that licked them.

When a player is licked by a nomster, if it is the first time for them to be licked by that nomster that phase, the player who was licked gains 5 Gooderhose points. The player gains no points, however, if the nomster that licked them is on their team.

If a nomster had been cuddled by their trainer in the previous phase and is given a treat by their trainer, they will lick their trainer in response.

Similarly, if a nomster had been given a treat by their trainer in the previous phase and is cuddled, they will lick their trainer in response.

In either case, if that trainer is not bonded with a nomster, this lick magically causes the two to become bonded to each other, and the nomster becomes a bonded nomster.

==== Join Team ====

Bonded nomsters cannot perform this action.

When given as a command, the Nomster leaves its current team and joins the specified player's team if they are in the same location as that player, it has received a treat from that player within the last 7 days, and it is otherwise able. If there are stipulations on adoption by that player, a nomster will wait until those stipulations are met before joining their team.

==== Ascend ====

When given as a cmmand, if the nomster is bonded and also is at the Tower of Ferrets, and that players is at the Tower of Ferrets, that player ascends with their nomster: that player is now ascended and their nomster is now ascended.

==Judgement==

Line 427:

Line 452:

Any reputable player may become a candidate for judge by sending a card in #judge-elections. If there are any judge candidates put forward in a given week, the player whose message has the most :+1: reactions becomes the judge once that week ends. Ties are broken in favor of the player with the easiest candidacy in the week.

== The End of All Things ==

The cycle ends at the end of phase XXXX.

All players that have ascended are winners.
