shall award the selected Seller with a Good which belongs to the “Antiques” Category

For each of the Categories “Arts” and “Antiques” Kevan shall privately and randomly choose ten goods within that category and increase their real value by one.

It’s just so cute!

Renumber the Second-hand goods page such that every Category is numbered sequentially (Antiques is 1, Art is 2, Baby is 3, etc).

In Rule 2.2 “Second-Hand Goods”, after “Each Seller owns zero or more Goods, tracked as a text list in the GNDT.” add

A Good can either be Static or Appreciating.

In the same Rule, before “By default, a Seller has no Goods.” add

As a weekly action, the Broker may choose a percentage known as the Rate of Inflation from 100 to 120%, as determined by the formula (99+X)%, where X is a number from 1 to 21 generated randomly using the GNDT. The broker must then multiply the value of every pound amount in the current rule set by the Rate of Inflation. Then, the Rate of Inflation ceases to be known as the Rate of Inflation.

Enact a new rule, “The Loan Sharks”, with the following text:-

Any Seller can request a loan by making a post with the title “Requesting a Loan” and naming both another Seller and dollar amount, X, that is a positive integer. Then, if the named Seller makes a comment on the post with the keyword GRANTED, in all caps, the Seller that made the comment must reduce their own profit by 1.2X and increase the profit of the Seller who requested the loan by X, and also add to that Seller’s name in the GNDT the text string “Loan worth X from ____”, where X is the dollar amount and ____ is the name of the Seller that made the changes. No seller that has such a text string in their name in the GNDT may win the game. At any time, any seller may Pay Off The Loan by reducing their profit by 2X and increasing the profit of the Seller whom the Loan was from by 1.8X (1.8 multiplied by X), and then removing the corresponding text string from their name in the GNDT.

Separate the “Second-hand goods” page into two categories: Appreciating Goods, containing Antiques (with a Typical Price of £2) and Art (with a Typical Price of £5), and Static Goods, containing the other Second-hand goods.

In Rule 2.2 “Second-Hand Goods,” replace “A Good has a name (a text string) and an ID (three numbers separated by full stops, known as the Good’s Category, Subcategory and Significance), and is written in the GNDT as ‘Name (#.#.#)’.” with

If a rule exists called “Junk”, reword it to:-

As a weekly action, any Seller may Search their Trash Bin for Junk by rolling a DICE20 and a DICE10 and gaining an amount of profit equal to the difference between the results of the two rolls.

Remove from the GNDT Goods fields any items listed with “Junk” in their name.

Add a new dynastic rule, “Junk” with text as follows:

As a weekly action, any Seller may Search their Trash Bin for Junk by rolling a DICE20 and a DICE10. They must then add that Junk to their Goods with a name of “Junk (X),” where X is the difference between the results of the two rolls. Junk may be brought to the Flea Market, but the Broker may only place a bid on the Junk whose value in pounds is equal to the number in parentheses.

Each player has a security score, which is tracked in the GDNT and has a default value of 40. Each Experienced Seller is allowed to attempt to Steal a Secondhand Good once every 48 hours if they have less than four Goods. To do this, the Seller (the ‘thief’) makes a GNDT comment naming a Seller (the ‘victim’) and a Secondhand Good that the victim possesses. In the same GNDT comment the thief must roll DICE99. If the result is less than the security score of the victim, the named Secondhand Good is transferred from the victim to the thief. If the result is greater than the security score of the victim, an amount equal to twice the Typical Price of the named Secondhand Good is subtracted from the thief’s Profit.

In the rule “Flea Market”, replace “then reduced by 5 (to a minimum of zero)” with:-

then reduced by 10 (to a minimum of zero), then increased by a random number between 1 and 5 (generated without using the GNDT)

If the result of the die roll is less than the security score of the victim, the thief must then add the relevant Good into the thief’s possession.
