Proposal: Cross-Department Cooperation

Times out Unpopular 3-3.—Tantusar

Create a subrule of “University Resources [Alpha]” called “Budget Transfer,” which reads:

As a daily action, a Scientist may Gift an amount of Budget to another Scientist by subtracting that amount from the Gifting Scientist’s Budget and adding it to the Budget of the other Scientist. Gifting is a Discrepant Action if the amount Gifted is greater than 20% of the Gifting Scientist’s budget (rounded up).

Basically Cuddlebeam’s proposal, but it’s a daily action. Percentage of Budget necessary to make it a Discrepant Action is up for debate. (It was originally pitched as 40%, but I thought that was a little too generous.)

against It is not explicit that the Gifting Scientist has to be the same scientist who is carrying out this action

against I disagree with Josh that this is a relevant concern, but I also just don’t want to do pooling again.

[“Gifting” (capital g) is pretty clearly the verbal adjective form of “Gift” (still capital g) and the meaning can and should be inferred.]
