I’m not sure “any Engineer or the City Architect may add 48 hours to the date and time in the Performance Review” does what you’re intending—does it mean that “any player can edit the Performance Review and increase the time and date in it by 48 hours?” Adding the hours to it of one’s own accord doesn’t necessarily change anything about the review.

@Brendan: how so? Once the date and time in the Performance Review has changed, the clause “the Engineer who has the highest Expertise at exactly 48 hours after the date and time in the Performance Review achieves victory” would then be evaluated at 48 hours after the new date and time.

I don’t quite see the flaw that you’re seeing.

Mmm, I was thinking that one could “add 48 hours” and get a summed time/date without actually updating the post. “Ah, I see the recorded expiration date is Wednesday at noon. I hereby add 48 hours, yielding Friday at noon. No need to do anything with that information!” But I suppose in that case any other Engineer could just make the update too, it’s not like it’s a communal action.

Even so, I think “the Engineer who has the highest Expertise” could use clarifying that victory doesn’t trigger if multiple players are tied. This has been a point of contention before.

Ok, fixed. There’s about an hour left to do more edits if you see anything else that needs tweaking.

I overall like this, but I am a bit concerned that this could cause quite a lot of disincentive to build early in a building. I get that awarding negative expertise forces engineers to not play it too safe but I wonder if there is a way we can do that without the early play downside.

[jjm3x3] Risk would only be factored out of Builds done during an Inspection—regular daily-action Builds would not have any effect on Expertise, positive or negative.

Ah, Thanks @Brendan I misread that

Is this saying that all a player needs to do to win the dynasty is make potentially just one lucky die roll? If the Building has 8 Gaps and 100 Stability (which is about where we are now) and someone rolls in the 70-99 range on their DICE200, that’s probably enough to win, unless the subsequent player is even luckier? It’s going to be hard for anyone to overtake them in 48 hours, working from a new Building.

Also, no objection to refunding Brendan alone for having become an early outlier, but I don’t like the idea that the five of us who’ve been playing and scamming the game over the past two weeks to gain Safety Checks needn’t have bothered, if this enacts and if I’ve read that right - that we’ll be no further ahead than a new or inactive player who has taken a single game action.

As a new or inactive player who has taken very few game actions,

@Misty: why the Cov? If there’s something you didn’t like, let me know, so I can try to address it in another Proposal.
