Oops, this should say "is greater than", not "differs".

Title of the rule? Not strictly necessary, just leaves the choice to me.

"Asceticism is a negative boolean person switch tracked by the Herald. A
player with an Asceticism of true is an Ascetic."

"A player CAN by announcement flip their Asceticism to a specified valid
value if e has not done so in the previous 30 days.". (Note uppercase
"CAN" and Spivak. I'd also prefer avoiding contractions in rules text
but I don't think that's a universal view.)

This is trickier. This current version fails due to precedence. A
continuous reset probably works better: "If an Ascetic's radiance
differs from what eir radiance was when e most recently became an
Ascetic, it is immediately set to that value."

"Once per week, an Ascetic CAN Meditate by announcement. When e does so,
e gains 2 stamp of eir own type if e most recently became an Ascetic
more than 30 days ago; otherwise, e gains 1 stamp of eir own type."

I submit the following Proposal:

Title: Ascetics
Adoption Index: 1.0
Author: Yachay
Co-Author(s):

Enact the following rule:
{
Players are Ascetics or not (this is their Asceticism Switch), defaulting
to not, tracked by the Herald.

A player can Toggle Asceticism by announcement, if they haven't in the last
30 days. This flips their Asceticism.

An Ascetic cannot gain Radiance. Once per week, an Ascetic can Meditate by
announcement. Doing so grants them 1 Stamp of their own Type, plus 1 more
if the current period they have been an Ascetic for is more than 1 month in
length.
}


Interesting idea! I dig it.

This Proposal wouldn't remove the ability to do so to those who would like
to play that way.

So, you could still do that if you want.

Through a lot of effort, you too can declare additional ritual numbers,
and slowly but surely get 1 radiance for you and those in the behind.
