Proposal: Expanding the Market Share

Reaches quorum 7-0 and is enacted -SingularByte

Adminned at 11 Jul 2023 07:01:12 UTC

Remove the text “There exists a Flea Market, where the dwellers trade.” from “Crime & Commerce”. Create a subrule of it called “Flea Market”:

Each Machinist has a public number of baubles.

Machinists in the System of Dwelling may Trade in the ‘’‘Flea Market’‘’:
* First they pay baubles equal to the number of times they have Traded today.
* Then pay 1 of a trade item to receive its cost, or vice versa.

Trade items’ bauble costs are public. It’s the base costs plus DICE3. Daily, the Great Machine may reroll each of those DICE3.
The trade items and base costs are: Coal, 1. Housing, 1. Valves, 1.

453 added and 53 removed by my count. This was rough to fit into 400 net without resorting to cutting too many important words but I got there in the end. The intent is that you’ll be able to trade a variety of things so that you can shift from focusing between parts of the ruleset controlled by different initialisation keys, but the cost rapidly ramps up as you trade.

i think this would read more clearly if you replaced the two sentence-starting “They"s with “First” and “Then”. also, it’s Great Machine, not Grand Machine!

When you factor out the title (17 characters), bolding on Flea Market (6) and the bullet points (4) the 424 added comes down to 397.

In other words, the green 400 test isn’t reliable anymore.
