This...is a Quest (OR..."Come Sail Away: A Council/Riot Hybrid Quest Where You're Trying to Build a Ship")

I count one turn of labor for Reality thus far (if we're counting 'one round' and 'one turn' as being interchangeable).

You'll have to clarify if I'm forgetting anything other than beating up the Council on behalf of Reality.
I counted turn 8 like a idiot. Disregard.

Will I actually be able to retire and farm like Cincinatus?

It's a peaceful life. A life free of a fucking idiot council. Yes I'm still mad that they tried to take on reality. And honestly. These council options aren't helping me.

I'll be a bit busy for the next few days, so dont expect me to react very much to this quest.

At least it looks like we might've successfully caught a chicken for the Naysayers' demands? ...Possibly even more than one, which would hopefully let us start farming them, should we so desire.

Ooo chicken farm would be nice

We dont have a need for food apparently, but itd be interesting to experiment anyways. If nothing else...they can also supply feathers and fertilizer
 
*yawn* I wonder what happened while I was gone...

[Signup Rejected. Reason:Not during a Round.]

Okay...

[Reality itself became a character.]

Wait... What?!

[Peace Treaty with Naysayers. Needs a chicken to succeed.]

*looks at character that can turn into a chicken using magic* Kinda convenient...

[Current magic user unable to use magic.]

Well... buck. (Pony version of Fuck.) *Smashes system*

[Debuff Gained:50% of the actions others do will be shown as the opposite of what they actually did.] (The system shows other people's actions, now half of what is told to Quartz Dart Thora is the opposite of what actually happened.)

Well... double buck.

[X] [Signup] Rioter
-[X]Whatever Have I Gotten Myself Into?
-[X] Quartz Dart Thora the Changeling, Male, looks like a light blue Unicorn Pony with a horn.

[X] [Riot!] Quartz Dart tries to become a chicken using magic.

*yawn* I'm going back to sleep.

Round 10 Results (Pt I) - The New Switcheroo
It wouldn't exactly be accurate to say that the council is in disarray. By and large, their votes have increasingly been largely in alignment, for better or worse.

Problem is that it has often been 'for worse'.

And some of the council, they want out. The rest of the council is all too happy to offer the opportunity, even if it comes with the risk that some of the Rioters may decide to crash their party.

Well, it can't be any worse than they way they already crashed the party.

So the agreement is made - no longer will the two halves of the quest be nearly so set in stone. If questers want to switch back and forth, the option will now be there for them.

Though such a change is not to be made lightly, and will not come without a significant cost.



Now that the Council and Rioter system has been voted to make switching a built-in system, here's the gist of how it'll work when I do the next update to stats an information, with the new rules fitting into Section One. Exact wording may be updated and cleared up for the final version and likely won't include certain notes that don't directly affect the rules.

Switching from one role to the other will require the player doing the switch dedicate that rounds actions entirely to the act of switching from one role to the other.

Additionally, by switching from Rioter to Council, you will lose everything you have built up as a Rioter and effectively be reduced to the same 'no stat' status as the rest of the Council. It will be equivalent to as if you'd joined as a member of the Council in the first place, aside from an additional note accounting for both when you joined the game and what round you swapped to the Council. While this should further discourage swapping back and forth on a whim, it's mostly so I don't have to bother keeping track of people's stats if they feel inclined to switch around. So if you're a Rioter and feel like joining the Council, make sure it's an action you're dedicated to because you won't be getting your stuff back, you'll have to start over from scratch.

At present, there will be no bonus given for swapping from Council to Riot (unless you consider getting a fresh slate and the ability to be more hands on a bonus), but over time it may be possible to change this in order to either give members who have been part of the Council and want to join the Riot half an opportunity to catch up, or else possibly to encourage more people to jump aboard the Riot! Train.
