Proposal: Brinksmanship
Vetoed. Failed by Kevan.

Create a new Dynastic Rule titled “Brinksmanship”:
Each Artist is either Well-Fed (default) or Starving, tracked in the GNDT. As a Weekly Action, an Artist may become Well-Fed or Starving.
When a Starving Artist would gain X Acclaim, he instead gains X*1.2 Acclaim. When a Starving Artist would lose X Acclaim, he instead loses X*1.5 Acclaim.
Amend the Rule titled “Critical Acclaim” by replacing the first paragraph with:
All Artists have a score, tracked in the GNDT, entitled Acclaim. Acclaim must be a nonnegative decimal number and defaults to zero for new Artists.
I don’t love the use of decimals here, but having neither status as obviously superior is a good feature.
I think this needs an exception to stop it triggering itself. (“Instead of gaining 10 Acclaim, you gain 12 Acclaim, then instead of gaining 12 Acclaim, you gain 14.4 Acclaim, then instead of gaining 14.4 Acclaim…”)
OK, if there’s some question of this going infinite then I’ll have to Veto it, but please do repropose it with a clause to prevent recursion.
