Add a new rule named “Retirement” with the following text:
Each Thief has a Retirement, which is privately tracked by the City and defaults to empty. A Thief with an empty Retirement cannot achieve victory.
As a Street Action, a Thief can privately communicate a new Retirement to the City. A Thief’s Retirement, when not empty, must contain all of the following at the time that it is communicated to the City:
* The text “Combined Florins and Pouch Values greater than:” followed by an amount equal to this Thief’s current Florins and Pouch Values combined plus 50
* The text “Have in Inventory:” followed by one or more unique types of Possessions (not counting Pouches) with static Values, in which those Possession types have a combined Value of at least 10 and this Thief has none of those types currently in their inventory
* The text “Notoriety less than:” followed by an amount equal to this Thief’s current Notoriety minus 10At any time, a Thief can privately communicate to the City a request to get the contents of their Retirement, and the City should privately respond at their earliest convenience with the contents of that Thief’s Retirement.
A Thief may Retire by making a blog post with the Story Post category and the text “Retiring” somewhere in the post title, and in the body of the post the contents of their current Retirement as tracked by the City. A Thief who has Retired has achieved victory if the contents of their posted Retirement, when treated as criteria, are all true for that Thief at the date and time that the post was made.
In the subrule “Containers”, add the following text:
At any time, a Thief may privately communicate to the City a request to get the Values of all of their Pouches, and the City should privately respond at their earliest convenience with each Pouch by name in that Thief’s inventory and that Pouch’s associated Value.
To win, you don’t have to have the most amount of Florins, but you need to try to reach more Florins/Pouch Values than you have right now, plus specific Possessions and less Notoriety.
It’s a nice balancing act, because while you could just get Possessions from the Black Market, you’ll lose Florins and gain Notoriety, which pushes you further away from your Retirement goals. You have to continue to cooperate with your fellow Thieves to get what you want.
This also makes it less of a good strategy to put a Thief in Gaol just to block their victory, because they’ll get either get closer to their Notoriety goal during that time or get more breathing room to gain Notoriety in pursuit of their other goals when they get out.
in favor of 
Kevan: he/him
Not sure we need all the back-and-forth paperwork here, seems like it would do the job to have a rule of “If a Thief’s Notoriety is at least 10 lower than it was at midnight on May 16 and their Florin total is at least 50 higher and…” where I announce that person as the winner when I see it.
What happens if two Thieves reach their retirement goals during the same Haul split?
The stuff about requesting private information from the Emperor should already be covered by “If a Thief should already know such a piece of information…” in the appendices.
