To the rule “Performance”, append a sub-rule called “Star Trucks” with the following text:
The Truck with the highest Performance score is known as the Star Truck. If multiple Trucks are tied for highest Performance, the Star Truck is the Truck with the highest Dollars. If two or more Trucks are tied for highest in both Performance and Dollars, all of them are considered Star Trucks.
When a Star Truck changes their Menu, the Yard shall make a Story Post listing the Dishes on that Menu and their Ingredients, but not their Prices. After this post is made, a Star Truck whose Menu was announced in this way may not change their Menu or Operating Status until the next Prep Phase begins.
Right now, there’s almost no way to overtake a leader, since everyone’s making roughly similar amounts of money per day. Making the leader’s menu public gives others more opportunities to snipe them and catch up.
JonathanDark: he/him
The problem is that whoever is/are the Star Truck(s) will simply wait until everyone else submits their Menus, then the Star Truck(s) will submit Menus last, to prevent anyone else from changing their Menus to match.
This then leads everyone else to wait for the Star Truck(s) to submit their Menu(s) first.
Now everyone is waiting, and no one submits any Menus.
