Proposal: Chaining the Grimoire

Enacted 5-0. Josh

In “Nomich”, replace “The Bookie shall randomly deal each Participating Participant 7 cards from a standard 52 card deck.  The Participant that scores the highest along the metric found here wins.” with:-

The Bookie shall randomly deal each Participating Participant 7 cards from the same standard 52 card deck as their “play”. The Participant whose play scores the most points wins.

Add to that rule:-

The score value of a play is determined as follows:-
* The play with the largest cumulative face value scores 5 points. In Nomich, an Ace is considered have a face value of 1, a Jack to have a face value of 11, a Queen to have a face value of 12, and a King to have a face value of 13.
* A card with a value of 3 or 7 is a Bonus Card. A play scores additional 3 points for each Bonus Card in it.
* Any play containing the Big Bonus Card JD scores an additional 4 points.
* The Queen of Spades’s face value becomes -12 unless it is in the same play as two Heart cards.

As revealed on the Discord a couple of days ago, the fact that the scoring rules of Nomich are being tracked on a dynastic history page means that they are not technically gamestate.

Also making it explicit that both hands are dealt from the same deck, which I think is how the original was played.
