To “Reminders”, add a paragraph:-
The first time that at least half of the Open Trucks have non-empty Menus during a Prep phase, the Yard (or any Truck) may post a notice to the blog and/or Discord informing all Trucks that this has happened.
No need for this to be a rule since it’s already public information, but maybe worth trying and recording as an approach. The wiki progress bar is useful game speed feedback, but only to those watching it: this round, the slowest two players were only notified that the third-slowest player had taken four days, with no context for whether four days was a long time.
Announcing the midpoint of a Prep phase should give the group more of a sense of how quickly each round is progressing. Anyone who hasn’t submitted by that point is playing at below average speed for the group.
If you were to make another proposal fixing that I would vote for it.
Kevan: Yard he/him
Hmm, I suppose the metric should really be “the Slate count plus Closed Trucks is equal to or greater than half the Trucks”, so that Closing and Menu-setting both count towards the half, but it’s too late to edit this.
