If “Late Fees” was enacted, the rest of this Proposal has no effect.
In the rule “Menus” add the following text:
(From Tomorrow:) An Open Truck is Ready if its menu has at least three Dishes
In the rule “Fittings”, add the following to the Fittings table:
|-
! Negative Social Media Post
| During the “Refresh” step of the Night action, set this Truck’s Operating Status to Closed instead of Open. (Negative Social Media Post is a Temporary Fitting.)
|-
! Coming Soon Sign
| During the “Refresh” step of the Night action, set this Truck’s Operating Status to Dark instead of Open. (Coming Soon Sign is a Temporary Fitting.)
In the rule “Trading Day”, add a subrule named “Deadlines” with the following text:
(From Tomorrow:) 48 hours after the most recent Prep Phase has started, every Open Truck that is not Ready gains a Negative Social Media Post to their Fittings if they don’t already have it.
(From Tomorrow:) 48 hours after the most recent Serve Phase has started, every Closed Truck gains a Coming Soon Sign to their Fittings if they don’t already have it.
An alternative to the idea proposed in “Late Fees”.
Trucks that don’t perform actions within 48 hours of a Phase will be force-opted out of the next Trading Day. Closed isn’t the end of the world since a Closed Truck could add a beneficial Fitting or perform some other Serve action, but they’ll still need to do so within 48 hours of the Serve phase starting or risk losing out on both phases the next Trading Day.
This is all still easily overcome because Trucks can still set their Operating Status during the Prep phase, so none of this is a huge penalty if a player simply loses track of time, as long as they catch up the next Trading Day.
