Reset each Thief’s plan to Standard

from “The Haul”.

In the rule “The Plan”, after the text “The possible plans are tracked in the table below”, add this text:

, along with a Target that is not empty if the Plan requires it. If the Plan requires a Target, the Target must be communicated when the Thief privately messages the City with their Plan, otherwise the Plan is invalid.

and in the same rule, add a “Target” column to the table, with blanks in every row of that column. Then, add the following to that table:

|-
| Redistribute || If the Pouch named in the Target is in the inventory of the Thief named in the Target, remove that Pouch from that Thief and add Florins equal to its Value to the Haul. When naming the Plan selected by each Thief in the Haul post, the City should treat each Thief who chose this Plan as if they had chosen the Standard Plan instead. || The name of a Thief and the full name of a Pouch in that Thief’s inventory

In the rule “Injury”, replace “If your Plan is Standard, Pocket or Scout” with “If your Plan is Standard, Pocket, Scout, or Redistribute”.

In the rule “Possessions”, add the following to the table:

|-
| Trap Kit || 3 || If a Thief names you as the Target of a Redistribute plan, a Trap Kit is removed from your inventory and that Thief’s plan instead has no effect.

Add the following to “Notoriety”

When a Thief performs a Notoriety Check, this is an atomic action performed by the following steps:

- If their Notoriety is 0 or less, the check automatically succeeds and no further steps are taken for it
- Roll a DICE(51-N) where N is their Notoriety. If result is 1 then check fails and 50% of their Florins, rounded up, are distributed evenly amongst all other Thieves, with any remaining Florins lost.

In Possessions replace the two steps

If their Notoriety after doing so is above 0, roll a DICE(51-N) where N is their new Notoriety)
If the above step is performed and the result is 1, then they are Caught and 50% of their Florins, rounded up, are distributed evenly amongst all other Thieves, with any remaining Florins lost.

Perform a Notoriety Check

Add a subrule to “Possessions” called “The Black Market”

As a daily action, if a Possessions is listed on the table in the rule “Possessions” and has a constant value, a Thief may attempt to Acquire it from the Black Market by performing the following Atomic Action:

- Identify the Possession they which to Acquire
- Increase their Notoriety by Three plus its Value
- Perform a Notoriety Check
- Roll a DICE5 and add the result it to the identified Possession’s value. This is its Markup.
- If the Thief has at least the Markup in Florins, reduce their Florins by the Markup and add a copy of the identified possession to the Thief’s inventory.

To the table in “Possessions”, add the following entries (where the number in brackets is the Value and the text after the Value its Effect):-

Cloak (1) The Eavesdrop Plan gains you 1 Notoriety instead of 2
Glove (1) The Pocket Plan gives you 1DICE3 Florins instead of 1 Florin
Helm (3) If you would acquire a Head Injury, you instead do not
Loupe (2) You may gain 3 additional Florins when selling an Unappraised Gem

If “Plan-et Fitness” failed, replace the Cloak effect with “The Eavesdrop Plan costs you 2 Notoriety instead of 3”.

Add a “Plan” of “Unlock” with the Effect of “If you have a Lockpick, the City adds 1DICE6 Florins and a Possession to the Haul, then you lose a Lockpick”.

Change the effect of the Standard Plan from “The city adds 1DICE3 Florins to the haul” to:-

The City adds 1DICE3 Florins to the Haul. On a roll of 1, the City also adds a Possession to the Haul.

Replace “an additional Possession” with “a Possession” throughout the Plan Effects.

To the end of the rule “The Plan”, add a paragraph:-

When the City is required to “add a Possession” to a Haul, it selects a random type of Possession from the table in the rule “Possessions” and adds one instance of it to the Haul.

Remove the “Add 1 Florin to the Haul” and “Select a random type of Possession from the table in the rule “Possessions” and add one instance of it to the Haul” steps from the Burglary action.

Add a new Plan with the Name ‘Defector’, with the Effect ‘Add 1DICE3 Florins to the Haul. Roll DICE(51-N) where N is the sum of all Thiefs’ Notoriety. If the above step is performed and the result is 1, then the Haul is Busted, and 1/T of the Florins gained from the Haul, rounded up, go each Thief with this Plan, where T is the number of active Thieves, and reduce the Notoriety of all Thieves with this Plan by 5. Otherwise, increase the Notoriety of all Thieves with this Plan by 6.

As an Atomic Action, I Sell my Unappraised Gem. As I rolled a 9, I gain 9 Florins and 9 Notoriety. I roll for Notoriety, the result is not 1, I am not Caught.

In the rule “Containers”, replace the second bullet point in the atomic action Sorting Pouches with the following:

* Create 1 to 4 new Pouches in their inventory, spending any number (greater than zero) of Florins for each Pouch, and giving each Pouch a valid name and a valid Value, where the Value of each Pouch equals the number of Florins so spent to create it. These steps may be concatenated into a single wiki edit to obscure the precise sums allocated to each Pouch.

Add a plan called “Lay Low” with effect “Reduce your Notoriety by 3”

In the effect of “Scout” replace “You gain 2 Notoriety” with “You gain 3 Notoriety”

In the effect of “Eavesdrop” replace “You gain 3 Notoriety” with “You gain 2 Notoriety”

With a small bribe to the harbour guard to look the other way, the group board a small fishing vessel and find a total of 15 Florins, a Gold Ring and a Lockpick below deck.

NadNavillus Eavesdropped while JonathanDark sought Cash and the others pursued the Standard plan.

Enact a subrule to “The Thieves” called “Injury”:-

Each Thief has a list of publicly-tracked Injuries, from the following possibilities, some having an Effect to those who suffer them:

{| class="wikitable"
! Injury || Effect
|-
| Body || None.
|-
| Foot || If your Plan is Scout or Leap during a Health Check, it is set to Rest.
|-
| Hand || If your Plan is Standard, Pocket or Scout during a Health Check, it is set to Rest.
|-
| Head || You may not take dynastic actions. Your Plan is always set to Rest during a Health Check.
|}

Add a “Plan” of “Leap” with the Effect of “You gain a random Injury and the City adds an additional Possession to the Haul.”

Add a “Plan” of “Rest” with the Effect of “You lose a random Injury if you have any.”

Add an additional step to the start of the Burglary atomic action:

* Perform a Health Check

In “The Plan”, replace “2DICE5” (the outcome of Cash/Scouting) with “DICE5”, and “1DICE3” (the outcome of Standard) with “DICE2”.

In “The Haul”, replace “Select a random type of Possession” with:

Select a random type of Possession from the table in the rule “Possessions”

Uphold the creation of the Clockmaker, Scrivener, Blacksmith, Merchant and Carpenter Hauls.

In the rule “Possessions”, add the following text:

Each Thief has a Transfer, which is privately tracked by the City, defaults to empty, and is either empty, or contains a list of one or more of that Thief’s Possessions and a Thief who is the Destination of that Transfer. A Thief may set their Transfer by privately communicating the desired value to the City.

In the subrule “Distribution”, after the first step of the atomic action “Distributing It” add this step:

* For each Thief who has a non-empty Transfer, remove the Possessions listed in that Transfer from that Thief, skipping any that are not actually in that Thief’s inventory, set that Thief’s Transfer to empty, and add the removed Possessions to the inventory of the Thief named as the Destination. Privately communicate to the Thief named as the Destination the value of each Pouch in the Transfer using the name of each Pouch.

In the rule “Attitudes”, add the following to the table:

|-
| Jealous || Action: Select the Thief, other than this Thief, whose Florins are the closest to equal of this Thief’s Florins, secretly-randomly choosing among ties, and if the selected Thief has one or more Possessions and does not have an Attitude of Paranoid, transfer a randomly-selected Possession from the selected Thief to this Thief. If the transferred Possession is a Pouch, the City must secretly inform this Thief of the value of the Pouch by name.
|-
| Paranoid || -

and in the same rule, in the Description of the Attitude “Solo Act”, replace the text “and transfer the minimum” with “and if the selected Thief does not have an Attitude of Paranoid, transfer the minimum”

In the rule “Containers”, add the following as a third bullet point to the atomic action Sorting Pouches:

* Repeat the previous step of this action as many times as wished, but they must add 1 to their Notoriety for each repeat of the previous step. These steps may be concatenated into a single wiki edit to obscure the precise sums allocated to each Pouch.

In “The Thieves” replace “an inventory list of Possessions” with “an inventory list of Possessions and Pouches”

In “Containers” replace

A Pouch is a Possession that is used to contain Florins. Each individual Pouch is unique, and must have a name of “X Pouch” (where X is a Pouch Style, or two different Pouch Styles separated by a space) that has not been used as the name of another Pouch in this dynasty. The value of a Pouch is equal to the number of Florins used to create it and must be greater than 0; the value of each individual Pouch is privately tracked by the City. All Pouches have no effect.

As a daily action, a Thief may Sort their Pouches. Sorting Pouches is an atomic action with the following steps:

Destroy all of their existing Pouches by removing them from their inventory, and gaining Florins equal to their value;
Spend any number (greater than zero) of Florins, and create a new Pouch in their inventory with a valid name and a valid Value equal to the number of Florins so spent;
Send a personal message to the City detailing the Pouches destroyed and created, with the new values of the latter.

with

Each Pouch has a publicly tracked Name which must be in the form of “X Pouch” (where X is a Pouch Style, or two different Pouch Styles separated by a space) that has not been used as the name of another Pouch in this dynasty, and a positive integer value which is privately tracked by the City

A Thief may never have more than five pouches in their inventory

At any time a Thief may Empty a Pouch which is in their inventory by informing the City of their attempt to do so. When such a request is made the City should perform the following atomic action
- Remove the named pouch from the inventory of the Thief who made this request (if it is not in their inventory, the action fails and the city should perform the remaining steps)
- Increase that Thief’s Florins by the value of the pouch

At any time a Thief may Create Pouches by performing the following atomic action
- Spend X Florins. Then repeat the next step X times (The Thief is highly encouraged to do all X steps is the same Wiki update in order to obfuscate how many florins are in each specific pouch)
- Spend any number (greater than zero) of Florins, and create a new Pouch in their inventory with a valid name. The value of this pouch is equal to the number of Florins so spent
- Send a private message to the City detailing the Pouches created and the value of each pouch

Breaking into the workshop hours after the close of a big sale, your group is able to liberate 29 Florins and a Lockpick.

JonathanDark and 4st knew there was Cash to be found here, all other Thieves adopted a Standard Plan.

In “The Haul” replace “If the Haul is empty” to “If there is no pending Haul post”

In “Distribution” after “Such responses must unambiguously identify where every element of the Haul’s contents would go.” add

Alternatively, their comment may include clear request to punt the haul, but may not include both a request to punt and a distribution in the same comment.

in the distributing Atomic Action replace the step “Move the contents of the Haul to the Thieves in the manner specified by this common Proposition” with

If the common Proposition was a distribution, move the contents of the Haul to the Thieves in the manner specified by it
If the common Proposition was a request to punt, roll a DICEX where X is the current number of Florins in the Haul, then remove that many Florins from the Haul. Also for each Possession in the Haul, roll a DICE2 and if the result is a 1, remove it from the Haul.

finally to Distribution add

If a Haul post has been pending for at least 48 hours and a quorum of Thieves have not posted equivalent Propositions it, the City may perform the Distributing atomic action on it, treating the Common Proposition as a Request to Punt

Remove “At any time a Thief may take an action known as Selling, to remove a Possession from their own inventory to gain Florins equal to its Value.” from “Possessions”.

Remove “Every time a Thief Sells a Possession” and all text after it from “Notoriety”.

Add a subrule to “Possession” called “Selling”, with the following text:-

A Thief may perform the following atomic action of Selling, at any time:-

* Remove a Possession from their own inventory
* Gain Florins equal to that Possession’s value
* Gain Notoriety equal to the number of Florins gained in the previous step
* If their Notoriety is above zero, roll DICEX, where X is 50 minus their Notoriety: if the result of the roll is 1 or lower, then they are Caught and 50% of their Florins, rounded up, are distributed evenly amongst all other Thieves, with any remaining Florins lost

To “Possessions”, add

The sum of each Thief’s Possessions’ Values is publicly tracked. Possessions that do not have a constant Value are not included in this sum, but are instead tracked by inserting the string “+?” to the end of the sum.

Add a subrule entitled “Stashes” to the rule “The Thieves” , with the following text:

Each Thief has a Stash. Each Stash has a Value, which is a non-negative integer privately tracked by the City and defaults to 0.

At any time, a Thief may spend Florins to increase the Value of their Stash by the number of Florins thus spent. At any time, a Thief may decrease the Value of their Stash to gain an equal amount of Florins. These actions may be concatenated into a single wiki edit with some other action.

Upload the atomic action that created the Ascension Address in the post The Spoils as having been completed.

Update the Building Blocks page to reflect any changes to the terms outlined in the rule Synonyms.

| Riffle || If you have at least one Black Glove, lose a Black Glove, and become a Pickpocket for the purposes of this Haul. After a Haul is Distributed, if you were a Pickpocket in it, you may once within 24 hours of the Distribution of the Haul move one Pouch from the Inventory of another Thief to your own Inventory.
| Menace || If you have at least one Flintlock, lose a Flintlock, and become Menacing for the purposes of this Haul. In any Haul with at least one Menacing Thief, a Proposition is not valid if it would result in no Florins being distributed to all Menacing Thieves.

In the rule “Notoriety”, replace the text “any action that would set Notoriety to a value below -50 instead sets it to 50.” with

any action that would set Notoriety to a value below -50 instead sets it to -50.

Add two Plans with the following names and (after the colons) effects:-

Eavesdrop: You gain 3 Notoriety and the city adds an additional Possession to the Haul

Add “. This Plan is Busted.” to both the “Cash” and “Stuff” Plans.

In “The Haul”, replace “Reset each Thief’s plan to Standard” with:-

...and move the bullet point beginning “Make a blog post” to the end of that list.

In a small chest lifted from an open cart at an opportune moment, the thieves find 22 Florins, a Gold Ring and an Unappraised Gem.

All Thieves adopted a Standard Plan for the job, except for Josh who chose Cash and Clucky who chose Stuff.

Replace the text of “Notoriety” with “Every Thief has a Level of Notoriety, which can be negative and defaults to -5. A Thief’s Level of Notoriety, Notoriety, and Notoriety Level are all considered to be synonymous with each other. Notoriety may never be higher than 50, and any action that would set Notoriety to a value above 50 instead sets it to 50. Likewise, Notoriety may never be lower than -50 and any action that would set Notoriety to a value below -50 instead sets it to 50.”

In “Possessions” replace “At any time a Thief may take an action known as Selling, to remove a Possession from their own inventory to gain Florins equal to its Value.” with

At any time a Thief may take an atomic action known as Selling by performing the following steps:
- Identify a Possession in their own Inventory
- Gain Florins and Notoriety equal to its Value
- If their Notoriety after doing so is above 0, roll a DICE(51-N) where N is their new Notoriety)
- If the above step is performed and the result is 1, then they are Caught and 50% of their Florins, rounded up, are distributed evenly amongst all other Thieves, with any remaining Florins lost.
- In either case, remove the identified possession from their own inventory

Reduce the Notoriety of all Thieves by five

Rename the Rule “Containers” to “Pouches”.

Add a new rule after “Pouches” named “Chests” with the text

Each Thief has a chest, which can contain 2 Possessions. As a daily action, a thief may Take Inventory.
Taking inventory is an atomic action sent to the city, wherein the city responds with the contents of their chest. Then, optionally, a player may, by privately specifying to the city:

- take a possession out of their chest.
- put a possession into their chest.
- do nothing.

Amend the effect of Lockpick to be “A thief may expend a lockpick during the action of Taking Inventory by specifying whose chest to operate on, and then the city will pretend that the specified thief’s chest is their chest for the purposes of that specific Taking Inventory.”

By the light of the cooling furnace, the thieves found 17 loose Florins and an Unappraised Gem.

All Thieves adopted a Standard Plan for the job, except for Josh who chose to Pocket.

In “Possessions” add a subrule called “The Black Market”

The Black Market is publicly tracked and consists of a list of Possessions, and a Cost associated with that Possession. At any time, as an atomic action a Thief may spend the cost of a possession, adding that possession to their inventory and then increasing the cost of that possession in the Black Market by 1.

The Cost of a Possession may never be less than its Value. Possessions which do not have a constant value may not be listed in the Black Market. If a Possession has a constant value, any thief may add it to the Black Market with a cost equal to its value plus three.

As a daily communal action a Thief may reduce the cost of all Possessions in the black market by 1 (or to their minimal values, if already there). Each individual thief may only perform this as a weekly action (in addition to the daily communal action restrictions).

Add the following to “Possessions”

If the City must deduct a Florin from a Thief with 0 Florins, the City will randomly choose a Pouch and remove that Pouch from the Inventory and add Florins equal to its value to that Thief than the City will deduct a Florin.

In the rule “Attitudes”, replace the text in the Description of “Solo Act” with the following text:

Action: Select the Thief with the most Florins among all Thieves other than this one, secretly randomly choosing among ties, and transfer the minimum of 3 Florins or the selected Thief’s Florins to this Thief’s Florins.

Copy the Building Block “Virtual Actions” into the Building Blocks section of the ruleset.

In “The Plan”, replace “A Thief may change their plan at any time by privately messaging the City what they want their new plan to be” with:-

A Thief may change their Plan as a virtual action.

In “Attitudes”, replace “As a Weekly Action, a Thief may change their Attitude by privately communicating to the City their new Attitude.” with:-

A Thief may change their Attitude as a virtual action.

In “The Haul”, replace “If the Haul is empty” with:-

If the Haul is empty and no virtual actions are pending

In “Distribution”, replace “If a quorum of Thieves have posted equivalent Propositions on a Haul post” with:-

If a quorum of Thieves have posted equivalent Propositions on a Haul post and no virtual actions are pending

At https://blognomic.com/archive/the_spoils#comments Kevan explicitly put Quorum at 5. When Clucky unidled, did we all assume Quorum raised to 6, or did I miss something? Either way, is it legal to raise the quorum if it would be legal to do so if you had announced it?

Add the following to the table of Possessions in the rule of the same name, as the first and third entries respectively:

| Black Glove || 0 || Enables the Riffle plan
| Flintlock || 2 || Enables the Menace plan

Add the following to the list of Plans in the rule The Plan:

| Target || Prior to the posting of each Haul, you may privately specify a Possession to the City. If you have at least 2 Florins when the Burglary is run, lose 2 Florins and the City adds the Possession so specified to the Haul.
| Riffle || If you have at least one Black Glove, lose a Black Glove. After the Haul is posted in which this is your Plan, but before that Haul is Distributed, you may once move one Possession from the Inventory of anothr Thief to your own Inventory.
| Menace || If you have at least one Flintlock, lose a Flintlock. In this Haul, a Proposition is not valid if it would result in no Florins being distributed to you.

Through an inadequately closed window, the group gathers 23 Florins and a fine silver Candlestick from a writing desk.

All Thieves adopted a Standard Plan for the job, save for JonathanDark who favoured Cash.
