BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Create a new dynastic rule called “Upgrades”

There are a number of upgrades a cab can have. A Driver has a pool of Upgrades, which are listed in on the wikipage “Taxi Cab Upgrades”. Unless otherwise specified, a Driver may only have one of each upgrade. By default, a Driver does not start with any upgrades. If a Driver’s set of upgrades is exactly default, then their upgrades need not be listed on the wiki page. Each upgrade must be of a kind detailed in a subrule to this rule.

Each upgrade must have three things - a name, by which the upgrade can be referenced on the wiki page; a cost, which must be a non-negative integer; and an effect.

A driver who does not currently have a given upgrade may spend the cost of the upgrade and add the upgrade to their list of upgrades.

Give “Upgrades” the following list of subrules

Flight
Name: Flight
Cost: 20
Effect: none

Underwater
Name: Underwater
Cost: 10
Effect: none

Overtime
Name: Overtime
Cost: 10
Effect: Whenever a Driver who has the overtime upgrade requests assignment they may activate their first six routes instead of their first five. If they also have the “Weekends” upgrade they may activate their first seven.

Weekends
Name: Weekends
Cost: 10
Effect: Whenever a Driver who has the weekends upgrade requests assignment they may activate their first six routes instead of their first five. If they also have the “Overtime” upgrade they may activate their first seven.

Route Hammer
Name: Route Hammer
Cost: 15
Effect: Any driver who has the Route Hammer upgrade may, as a weekly action, remove one route from their list of routes.

Super Scouting
Name: Super Scouting
Cost: 15
Effect: Scouting costs for all routes are reduced by one, to a minimum of 2.

Add the following subrules to “Routes”.

Flying

A Flying Route has a Scouting Cost of 10. When a driver drives an Flying Route, if that driver has the “Flight” upgrade that driver earns 5 Cash. Otherwise the driver earns no cash.

Underwater
A Underwater Route has a Scouting Cost of 5. When a driver drives an Underwater Route, if that driver has the “Underwater” upgrade that driver earns 3 Cash. Otherwise the driver earns no cash.

If the proposal http://blognomic.com/archive/scouting1/ does not pass, remove the text “A Underwater Route has a Scouting Cost of 5.” and “A Flying Route has a Scouting Cost of 10.” from subrules of the rule “Routes” and the whole subrule “Super Scouting” of the rule “Upgrades”
