Soft AGAINST due to Ideation Station, unless you can provide a very good reason for making Attention grindable.

Seems decently balanced compared to Ideation station, with a better chance at another action but a significant downside.

I guess I’ll start off.

On rich-get-richer concerns regarding Ideation Station.

CoV, I think I’m going to have to agree with Bucky here. I’m fine with the Concentration Station at a 10% chance, but the Ideation Station allows a cabal of 4 (or even 3 at a stretch) to get far greater returns.

Assuming 4 players each use Concentration Station 10 times, you’d expect each one to get 1 bonus Attention.
Assuming 4 players each use Ideation Station 10 times, you’d see each getting an expected 5.7 bonus Attention.

Hard to see such a cabal forming with Mantle Limitations switched on.

I think I could catalyze a cabal that doesn’t fall afoul of the Mantle Limitations.

You wouldn’t need to hand over the mantle with such a cabal, since you’d all equally benefit from the results of the increased Attention. A 4-way battle is far easier for a player to win than a 13-way battle after all.

Seems more likely to me that the optimal strategy is to select the players who are furthest behind, to remove the possibility of advantaging direct competitors.

Anyone who wants to get exponentially farther ahead of Josh as the dynasty progresses should contact me about cabal membership, then.

If Bucky needs help winning then he is welcome to it.

I will withdraw this, however, for the queue.
