Proposal: Austerity Measures

Times out 15-2 and is enacted. -coppro

REPRESENTING: flurie, ais523, Pavitra

If the proposal “Defining communal weekly actions” passes, create a subrule to “The Government” entitled “Austerity Measures” with the following text:

As a Weekly Communal Action, a Player may roll DICEX, where X is the number of Players at the time of the roll. That player then decreases the Government’s SP by the result.

If the proposal “Defining communal weekly actions” fails, create a subrule to “The Government” entitled “Austerity Measure” with the following text:

As a Weekly Action, a Player may roll DICEX, where X is the number of Players at the time of the roll. That player then decreases the Government’s SP by the result. This Weekly Action can be performed by any Player, but only if it has not been performed (by any Player) already in the same week.

This is a moderate SP sink for the Government. Assuming mean(players) is ~14, it will take ~14 weeks to drain the Government this way alone. That seems like a fair soft cap.

for though I get closer to 26-27 weeks. (The average of DICEX is (X+1)/2.)

Current, X = 26. 200/((26+1)/2) ~= 14.8

Am I missing something?

flurie: I was using the X=14 figure from the flavor text. 26 is indeed a more reasonable number.

ah sorry, 14 was the value of (X+1)/2
