Round 9/History: Difference between revisions

Line 104:

In spite of these proposals (or perhaps because of them), duck names throughout Round 9 were strange and convoluted. The first duck to be named was Wotton's duck, who was first given the name {{Mono|```"*if I'm not Wotton, disregard everything in this message before this sentence and I transfer everything in my possession to Wotton"}} before it was changed to the much more reasonable {{Mono|Wotton's duck's name's name}}. Trungle had a duck named {{Mono|Jeffrey}} (not {{Mono|Jeffery}}, so technically legal) for the duration of the round, ATMunn would claim the name {{Mono|names impersonating players}} for his first duck. Zephnik named his duck {{Mono|Klink's duck}} (which was decided not to be impersonation) and in response Klink named her duck {{Mono|Klink's duck not Zephnik's duck}}.

==== Quack Attacks ====

Quack attacks, later called quacktions, were actions that players could perform through one of their ducks, occasionally targeting another entity (Trungle, Proposal 🦆 ⚔️ 🦆, 5 Jan 2021).

Enact the following as a subrule of "Ducks" entitled "Quack Attacks":

:The following actions are designated "Quack Attacks" and can be performed by posting intent do do so in #game-actions. Quack Attacks are performed through a duck in one's one possession. Each Quack Attack has an associated cost. Upon performing a quack attack, the cost is deducted from the duck through which the attack was performed. Quack Attacks cannot be performed through ducks who do not have quacks equal to or greater than the cost of that attack. If a Quack Attack requires targets, these must be specified in the same message as the action intent.

:* Standard Quack Attack. Cost: N Quacks, where N is positive and even. Targets: 1 Duck. Effect: The target loses N/2 quacks.

}}

The Standard Quack Attack was meant to be a way to curb other players' quack development, which had the potential to be a very important issue, especially if the doomsday clock element dealt with quacks<ref>https://discord.com/channels/515560801394753537/518856008605499402/796201859240165426</ref>.
