Proposal: The Wideness of the Wheel

Reached quorum 11 votes to 0 with one unresolved DEF. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 29 May 2020 13:56:36 UTC

In the rule “Wagers”, replace the second paragraph with:-

As a Daily Communal Action, an Amnesiac may Spin The Wheel by performing the following atomic action:
*From each Amnesiac, deduct a number of points equal to the Size of their Wager.
*Roll a DICEN where N is the number of Segments on the Wheel.
*Apply the effect of the Segment with Index corresponding to the die roll, to every Amnesiac with that Segment in their Wager.

If the effect of a Segment is that it “Pays Segments”, this means that an Amnesiac it is applied to gains a number of points equal to the number of Segments in the Wheel.

Replace all Segment effects with “Pays Segments”.

If this proposal enacted, replace “point” with “apple” and “points” with “apples” throughout the rule “Wagers”.

Moving the “everyone pays for their Wager” step out of the Wheel text and into the atomic action, and making the repeated effect into a much shorter keyword.

On the one hand, I like this better than the current wording.

On the other, still doesn’t leave a lot of room for manipulating segments. But its a step in the right direction.

against this will double subtract the size of your wager.

[derrick] How? It’s removing the “deduct a number of points” sentence from all the Segment Effects.

Anyway, I would prefer that every Segment has “Gain a number of points equal to the number of Segments in the Wheel”. It’s more explicit and simple to read if the rule of one or more Segment will change.
