The Oath Constitution of Muckland

Rejoice, children of Muckyland! Your benevolent Chancellor Cloud, in cooperation with the Burgermeisters and Mawtriarchs of the Golden Valley, are promulgating a Constitution to generate Reckonings. Reckonings (games of Oath) allow for Muckyland to govern itself!

The Constitution of Muckyland

Article I: The Box

Between Reckonings, the Chancellor maintains possession of the Oath Box.

Article II: How Reckonings Happen

The Chancellor shall call for a Reckoning every 20 days. If the Chancellor fails in this duty, any Muckylander may call for a Reckoning at times beyond that window.

By circulating at least two possible dates in #⚜-oath, and finding the best for all concerned, the Reckoning is scheduled.

  • If the Chancellor is unable to participate, some other willing player shall represent the chancellor's lineage.
  • If a Citizen or Exile's player is unable to participate, their lineage either skips a generation, or they can appoint a surrogate player.

Skipping a Generation

It's fine to skip one or more generations. The player's lineage simply stays in the box, unaffected by time.

If the empire falls while a Citizen lineage is skipping a generation, the lineage loses 'citizen' status. Recall that the holder of The Grand Scepter can easily grant citizen status in the next game, and in either case no traits go dormant or are discarded.

Article III: The Law of Oath

We use the latest draft of the Oath: New Foundations rules.

We try to keep the cards up to date. At time of writing they're just a little "behind", but they're all very minor wording and graphics tweaks, hardly worth printing out.
