Proposal: Simple First Proposal

Reached quorum 8 votes to 1. Enacted by Kevan.

Remove this piece of text in the rule named “Pitches”:

A Pitch’s Multiplier is a number rounded down to two decimal places and is calculated as follows: Pitch Multiplier = 0.84 + (Pitch / 64).

I think the recent proposals and the rules show that the game has strayed pretty far from multiplying pitch values. Seeing as this multiplier is now redundant, we can remove it.
I’m afraid that this proposal isn’t ambitious and doesn’t do much else.

Congrats on your first Proposal! You got the category and the phrasing right on your first try, so that’s something to celebrate, even if you feel like it isn’t ambitious enough.

To be fair, you’re coming into this dynasty at the point where things have settled down and it’s hard to introduce any changes of significance, so don’t fret. Even the long-time players are having trouble introducing anything truly new.

Congrats on first proposal!

As JonathanDark said; the game have settled a bit - even us are having real trouble sending in new content, so don’t worry!

Am I missing something? How is it redundant?

@Clucky - Pitch Multipliers don’t do anything, so it’s a stub rule. I think they were originally intended to multiply how much money you get from a sale, but either the sentence was never added or got lost in amendment. Pitch numbers determine the order of customers, at the moment.

@clucky, as lawn mentioned, the plan when pitch was first proposed was to simulate getting either a prime spot or a bad spot (like being by a well traveled park vs a poorly managed sewer drain) but there wasn’t anything added that would cause the multiplier to trigger and by now we’ve kinda drifted away on that idea.

against would rather add something to actually make the multiplier work

@Clucky - Pitches already do enough with tiebreakers and ordering the sale actions. With you at pitch 20 (the best in terms of multiplier) how do you suppose you’re going to pass a proposal making it work?
