Proposal: Bed Bath & Beyond

Enacted 11-0. Josh

Adminned at 22 Oct 2021 16:55:00 UTC

This proposal only applies if the proposal “Let the Contest begin!” has passed.

Remove the Attribute “Size” from the list of Attributes in the rule “House Market”.

Directly after the list of Attributes, in that same rule, the text:

Each House has a Size, which is a publicly list of two positive integers, and defaults to (3, 2). The first is the number of Bedrooms the House has, while the second is the number of Bathrooms.

Each House has a publicly tracked list of Special Rooms, which defaults to empty. A House’s Number of Rooms is equal to the number of Special Rooms + the number of Bedrooms + the number of Bathrooms.

Change the text of the last paragraph in that rule to:

If at any point the number of houses Houses listed is less than the number of Realtors plus two, then any Realtor may add another House to the list of Houses, by completing the following Atomic Action:
*Set the House’s name to be a name using any one of the name formats described above
*Roll a DICE10 for each Attribute of the new House and set that Attribute as the result
*Set each term of the House’s size to a separate roll of 2DICE3 - 1
*Roll a DICE4; if it is 1, add “Basement” to the House’s list Special Rooms
*Roll a DICE4; if it is 1, add “Attic” to the House’s list Special Rooms
*Roll a DICE10; if it is 1, add “Pool” to the House’s list Special Rooms

 

I know this could lead to a house with 5 bathrooms and one bedroom; some people piss a lot; don’t @ me.

D3 for the size attributes might be a little more realistic.

Changed to 2D3-1, which will give a distribution (from 1 to 5) of 11%, 22%, 33%, 22%, 11%. This article (https://bit.ly/3DYCwTk) says that the average number of bedrooms is about 3.5, which checks out. Of course, there’s usually fewer bathrooms then bedrooms, but who cares?

Fair enough. Not important to get it more exact than that. This is a solid proposal for your first one, mine was a total flop.

Oh, my bad. Didn’t see you were a returning player.

Axemabaro, I’m starting to like you already.

Apparently, at the very top end of the property market there’s a ceiling to how many bedrooms people want but no real upper cap on the number of bathrooms; so properties with 4 beds and ~12 baths are not uncommon.

Anyway,  for
