Proposal: Free-ish Market

Times out 5-0 and is enacted -SingularByte

Adminned at 05 Jul 2022 13:46:30 UTC

In the rule “Wide, Empty World of The Damned”, reword “There exists a number of Locations, which consist of a name, a Population Size (which is an integer defaulting to 0), optionally a description which is flavour text, optionally a prerequisite, and optionally some rules text.” to:

There exists a number of Locations, which consist of a name, a Population Size (which is an integer defaulting to 0), optionally a Danger Rating, optionally a Drop rate, optionally a description which is flavour text, optionally a prerequisite, and optionally some rules text.

In the rule “Wide, Empty World of The Damned”, change the Drop Rate of Destroyed Apartment Block to the following:

Roll DICE5 and carry out the effect corresponding to the number outputted. 1-3: Increase your Macca by 8000. 4-5: Increase your Provisions by 2.

If the proposal “Post-Apocalyptic Transactions” has not been enacted, skip the rest of this proposal.

In the rule “Post-Extinction Capitalism”, create a subrule named “Auctions” with the following body:

An Auction is a type of Event as defined here:
Type Name: Auction
Response Format: “Bid x”, where x is an amount of Macca higher than the minimum bid specified in the event post. Posting a Response to this event type may be referred to as “making a bid” and x may be referred a Value. A Demiurge may only make a bid if x is equal to or less than their current amount of Macca.
Creation Condition(s): Only the Omnipotence may create this event. This event may only be created when no other Auctions are currently open. The body of the event post must consist of the following: an Auction Item, a minimum bid and a description, which is flavor text.
Ending Condition(s): Only the Omnipotence may end this event. This event may only be ended if at least 24 hours have passed since its creation.
Ending Action(s): Add the Auction Item specified in the event post to the Inventory of the Demiurge who both made the bid with the highest Value that is equal to or lower than their current amount of Macca and made the earliest bid with that Value. Subtract that Value from the Macca of that Demiurge.

Change the Description of the Item “Bonsai Tree” to the following:

Once each week, add 1 to your current amount of Soul.

Change the Types of the Item “Bonsai Tree” to the following:

Buff, Hold

This proposal intends to do three things:
- Make adventuring possible while balancing the rewards
- Add an Auction mechanic because I want to do something
- Make Bonsai Tree actually usable

You might want to check that the winner of the bid actually has enough to afford the item at the time of it ending, otherwise someone could bid then go on a shopping spree, safe in the knowledge that they’ll get the item anyway.

Also, you might want to handle draws in bidding.

this doesn’t make bonsai tree actually usable since it changes the description, not the effect

will edit that into my CfJ

actually, I’ll do it in my next proposal, since proposals can’t be resolved while the game is in hiatus

Illegal enactment reverted due to hiatus not actually having ended.
