idea prototype

Each player is either a Free Agent or is Employed by another player.  This status is tracked in the GDNT column ‘Employment’.  This is either Free Agent or the name of an Active Player.  If at any time a Player’s Employment is anything but Free Agent of the name of an Active player, it is set to Free Agent.

If a player has an Employment of Free Agent and a SP of 0, that player is considered to be Broke.
At any time a player who is not Broke can Hire a Broke player by reducing their own SP by 1, to a minimum of 1, increasing the SP of the Broke player by 1 and changing the Broke Player’s employment to the Hiring Player’s name.  The Broke player is now considered Employed by the Hiring Player.

And Employed player may, at any time, change their Employment to Free Agent by reducing their SP by 1, to a minimum of 1, increasing the SP of the player listed under their Employment by 1 and then changing their Employment to Free Agent.

Second proposal idea is to prevent employed players from voting against employers.

I won’t be able to format the proposal and ensure there are no errors until late tonight.  Feedback would be great.

I would vote FOR ... as long as this proposal “represents” me ;)

Don’t really like the dynamic. So have no constructive comments to make.

I’d like to see this combined with Representatives.

Combined with Representatives sounds good. Instead of you picking your Rep, any Employer can forcefully buy you, and then your abstentions go to them.

“And Employed player may, at any time, change their Employment to Free Agent by reducing their SP by 1, to a minimum of 1,”

Should be Any.  It’s not clear what happens if their SP is already 1 - the wording suggests that it successfully decreases to the minimum of 1 and they become a Free Agent.
