Imperial Styles

Taken from this proposal, by Kevan.

The Richardo von Nestor may announce their Imperial Style for a dynasty, to inform Vampire Lords of how they intend to behave during it. An Imperial Style is a list of any number of keywords from the following lists, such as “Protective, Designer, Casual, Scam-Neutral”. It puts no constraint on the Richardo von Nestor’s behaviour, and simply serves as a guide.

Proposal style

• Designer (will attempt to build and maintain a playable game, balancing it accordingly)
• Gardener (will keep the dynasty tidy but try not to influence its direction too much)
• Onlooker (will let the dynasty become what it becomes)

Player protection

• Protective (when taking any actions - including voting - will try to be fair to all players, including potential future players)
• Laissez-faire (will not consider fairness when making such decisions)
• Dungeonmaster (will target leading players, or support aggressive moves against them, if they feel this makes the game more interesting)

Desired workload

• Powerhouse (happy to process frequent, complex game actions and track secret information)
• Casual (happy to process a moderate level of game actions, and simple tracking)
• Hands-off (would prefer all game actions to be left to the players)

Attitude to scams

• Scam-Friendly (won’t remark on or move to close loopholes in proposals or the ruleset; will gladly assist a player’s scam if privately asked to)
• Scam-Neutral (won’t remark on or move to close loopholes in proposals or the ruleset; may assist a scam if the rules allow them to)
• Scam-Averse (will alert players to any loopholes they notice; will veto major scams; will only assist a scam if the rules require them to)

Miscellaneous

• Wildcard (may choose to deviate from their style at any time during a dynasty)
