Remove the following paragraph from the ruleset:
Each District may respond once to each Plenary Session. A Plenary Session response takes the format of a direct private message to the City allocating quantities of their own resources. These allocated quantities are spent from that District’s own resources, and while it is not required that a District immediately update gamestate tracking to reflect that expenditure, they must do so before they make any subsequent response to a Plenary Session. Defence cannot be expended in this way if it would result in the Defence of the responding District to have a value lower than zero. A District may make a null response.
In the rule “The Conclave”, immediately after “Make a post to the blog announcing the new Plenary Session.”, add the following paragraphs:
People, Food, Ingenuity, Defences, the Energy Trap, Order, Connections and Innovations are resources.
Once a Plenary Session is posted, it is considered to be Ongoing. A Plenary Session ceases to be Ongoing once it has had no Responses for the past 12 hours. If a Plenary Session is Ongoing, any non-abandoned District may Respond to it by performing the following atomic action:
* Spend any positive amount of resources. (except Defences, if doing this would cause it to drop to a value below zero)
* Make a comment on that Plenary Session announcing how many resources you’ve spent during the course of this action, as well as your Score total for that Plenary Session according to the Scoring Matrix of its Agenda Item.
In the rule “The Conclave”, change “When the City summarises the outcome of a Plenary Session, they calculate each District’s Score for that Plenary Session by scoring its allocated resources against the Scoring Matrix of that Plenary Session’s Agenda Item.” to:
When the City summarises the outcome of a Plenary Session, they calculate each District’s Score for that Plenary Session by scoring the resources they have spent on that Plenary Sessions against the Scoring Matrix of that Plenary Session’s Agenda Item.
and “if every non-Abandonned District has Responded to all previous Plenary Sessions, OR if 48 hours have elapsed since the posting of the most recent Plenary Session” to:
if no Ongoing Plenary Sessions exist
a live auction mechanic to replace the current process of receiving anointments. I personally don’t really like this sort of “wine in front of me” gameplay and would prefer something like this, but I’d like to hear your opinions
and yes, this has the potential of dragging the endgame out, but doing so would have literally no benefit so I don’t see why anyone would do it
Josh: he/they
Hard redcross. Being able to see what other people have bid introduces a huge last mover advantage to the point where I can’t see a plenary session ever taking place.
