In dynastic rule Benefices, replace:
All Cardinals have Benefices, a number tracked in the GNDT. The default value is 1. As a Church Action, a Cardinal may reduce their Influence by 1 to increase their Benefices by 1. As a Church Action, a Cardinal may reduce their Benefices by 1 to increase the Benefices of another Cardinal by 1.
with:
All Cardinals have Benefices, a number tracked in the GNDT. The default value is 1. The total number of available Benefices is 50. As a Church Action, a Cardinal may reduce their Influence by 1 to increase their Benefices by 1 given that the the action does not result in a total number of benefices greater than 50. Cardinals may trade benefices amongst themselves by making a story post to that effect, indicating as such with the title “Trade:.” Cardinals wishing to bid on the offered benefices must do so in the form of a comment on that story post.
A trade may be resolved by an admin if there is an agreement between two Cardinals as to the terms of the trade, making said changes in the GNDT. If after 48 hours there is no agreement on terms of a trade, the offer is no longer considered valid.
Re-proposing with some modifications based on comments to the last version.
Kevan: he/him
I like the cap idea, but trading is broken: “an agreement between two Cardinals” doesn’t actually require either of those Cardinals to be the ones involved in the trade.
And in fact, we can already trade Benefices: “As a Church Action, a Cardinal may reduce their Benefices by 1 to increase the Benefices of another Cardinal by 1.” - we could cost it differently, but I’m not sure why we need anything more than that when there’s only a single resource that’s being traded.
