In “Nosy Researchers”, replace “As a daily action (which can only be performed when no Challenges are pending, and preferably within the hour following midnight UTC or as soon as possible thereafter)” with:-
If the Behaviour Log has at least one entry, and if for each AI that has an entry in the Behavior Log their earliest entry in the Log was added to it more than 12 hours ago, and if no Challenges are pending
In Executive Measures, replace “(which can only be performed after performing the atomic action outlined in “Nosy Researchers” for the day)”:-
(which can only be performed if the atomic action outlined in “Nosy Researchers” has been performed earlier that day)
Under the “soon after midnight” rule, players have a strong incentive to perform all their actions as late as possible in the UTC day, to reduce the window that other players have to react to that information (and this is exactly what’s happening, with one AI’s well-timed actions actually colliding with the Facility Head’s processing last night).
lemon: she/her
is it intentional that this makes it no longer a daily action? it could slow down the game but i can see how it’d be worth it if we wanna avoid the issue u outlined. that said, it would turn the atomic action into something i would be able to do less consistently, especially on mondays n tuesdays, since i would have to be checking the wiki history semi-regularly instead of relying on an alarm and some convenient openings in my schedule :0
(also, u should add to this proposal a fix to the wording in “executive measures” that says one can only be done after the atomic action outlined in nosy researchers)
