Proposal: Estate Sales

Enacted 12-0. Josh

Enact a new rule entitled “Buyers” as follows:

There exists a list of Buyers, which is publicly tracked in an ordered list. Each Buyer is individually distinguished by a unique Name, which consists of three initials, or two initials and a proper noun. Each individual Buyer also has an amount of Bucks, an amount of Fear, and an amount of Health, each of which is a publicly tracked nonnegative integer.

If they have not yet done so in this Dynasty, Eli Curf may create 30 Buyers via the following Atomic Action:
* Secretly randomly create 30 distinct triplets of initials to be the Buyers’ names
* Optionally, for each such name, change the last initial to be a proper noun
* Secretly randomly order the integers 2 through 16 twice and assign the numbers in that order to the Buyers represented by the list of initials, as their Bucks
* Secretly randomly order the integers 2 through 16 twice and assign the numbers in that order to those same Buyers as their Fear
* Secretly randomly order the integers 2 through 16 twice and assign the numbers in that order to those same Buyers as their Health
* List the Buyers thus created on the Dynastic Tracking wiki page

Buyers may be Looking or not Looking, and this is publicly tracked. If there are fewer than 5 Buyers that are Looking, any Realtor may set the next non-Looking Buyer, as ordered from the top of the public list of Buyers, to Looking.

I like cards better than dice.

Appreciating the slightly odd (but perfectly valid) phrasing of “Secretly randomly”. Also like the mechanic generally. Each buyer is likely to have a fairly unique makeup, but since the order is known in advance, it allows for a bit of strategy.

“Secretly randomly” has come into somewhat common parlance probably since you were last active—it arises from the final paragraph of “Random Generators” in the appendix, which mandates that all random selections must be done via the BN dice roller unless otherwise specified.

Seems good! Like the idea. If you could give me a little bit more freedom with buyer’s names (maybe a short last name) I’d appreciate it, and would allow for a little easier buyer identification at a quick glance.

Updated per request, Mr. Curf.
