Enact a new rule, “Stats”:-

Each Resident has a level of Alertness, being an integer value tracked in the GNDT and defaulting to zero.

Enact a new rule, “Supplies”:-

Various Supplies are being delivered to the Residents by a well-meaning Government. Supplies are defined as the items on the following list, each having a name and optionally an effect:-

• Food
• Water
• Energy Drink: The User gains 1 Alertness.

Add a subrule to “Supplies” called “Crates”:-

If no non-Empty Crate exists, the Government may make a blog post describing the delivery of a supply crate; this is known as a Crate post, and it describes a Crate. The post lists a number of randomly-chosen items from the Supplies list which are inside the Crate; that number is equal to the number of Residents at the time of posting.

A Resident (the “Recipient”) may take an item from a Crate by posting a comment to its post announcing their choice, but only if:-

• The item is in that Crate.
• The Recipient has not already taken an item from that Crate.
• There is no other Resident who has a higher Alertness than the Recipient, and who has not yet taken an item from that Crate.

When a Resident takes an item from a Crate, they may immediately apply its effect (with themselves as its User), and a single instance of that item is then no longer considered to be part of the Crate.

If a Crate has no Supplies inside it, then that Crate is Empty.
