Proposal: A Fumbled Chip

Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 11 Aug 2020 16:20:17 UTC

Add a new bullet point after the first in “Wagers”:-

* For each Gambler who, at the start of this atomic action, had a non-blank Wager identical to the Wager of a Gambler with a higher or equal Focus, set the first Segment of that first Gambler’s Wager to be a random other Segment on the Wheel

Breaking up the stalemate of copying other wagers exactly. (If we just say “can’t copy wagers” it becomes an unfair game of fastest-trigger-first.)

It’s not a stalemate, you can go for Annoyingness and steal. Or make a deal with the other player to have them turn their Points into Annoying

[Cuddlebeam] Yes, I assumed you were angling to be a kingmaker, which is why I’ve made a rational switch to copying Pokes.

Solving it the long way with Annoyingness is another fastest-trigger-first timing problem; if the Spinner of the Wheel wins some Annoyingness they can immediately spend it before anyone else has realised the Wheel has been spun. I’d rather just shift that random resolution mechanic into the Spin it-self.

against Self-kill, I guess people really love strategy-stealing.
