Add to the rule “Drawing”
Dealing is a communal weekly atomic action with the following parts:
- Create a randomly ordered list containing all Wizards who have less than 9 cards in their hand.
- Randomly choose one card (which is not part of any Wizard’s hand), add it to the hand of the first Wizard in the list, and remove that Wizard from the list.
- Repeat step two until either the list is empty or their are no more cards in the deck witch are not part of any Wizard’s hand.
Dealing shall always performed at the earliest legal time.
If the rule “Cards” contains the text “Wizards other than the Historian may not draw cards.”, Dealing cards is not legal.
This is mostly a copy of clause in an earlier proposal that didn’t take effect. Its a good method for drawing cards. I’ve made it so it doesn’t take effect until the “Start Drawing” Card is played.
Kevan has pointed out to me on slack that the best way to randomly generate a list of players is DICE10 DICE9 DICE8 DICE7 DICE6 DICE5 DICE4 DICE3 DICE2 in the GNDT. A sample result would be:
DICE10:10 DICE9:4 DICE8:2 DICE7:4 DICE6:2 DICE5:4 DICE4:4 DICE3:3 DICE2:2

Yeah, “shall” looks like a bad idea here, making it required that somebody takes the action at midnight on Sunday, even if none of us are online. Even the weakest reading is that nobody can take a blog action until someone’s dealt that week, which doesn’t seem helpful and would jam the rest of the game if the deck became “empty” and the only legal game action became impossible.
Brendan: he/him
“Shall always be performed” sounds like a possible paradox to me. Who’s performing it?
