Proposal: Jackpot!

At the end of the rule “Wagers”, add the following paragraph:

If the Payout of a Segment is that it “Repeats Payout”, this means that an Amnesiac it is applied to gains a number of points equal to the number of points they gained from Payouts on the previous Wheel spin.

Create a new Segment with the following properties:

  • Name: Occupant
  • Index: 7
  • Payout: Repeats Payout
  • Global Effect: Each Amnesiac gains a number of Points equal to the number of Points they gained from Global Effects on the previous Wheel spin.

A somewhat higher-variance Segment that uses the previous Spin to determine its effects.

The name was randomly determined, but does seem to fit somewhat.

hrm. I like the idea but I think this might be a bit of a pain for the spinner to calculate. Is it worth tracking these values on the wheel table so the spinner just has to update them and then consult the previous table if we land on Occupant?

The wiki’s history feature lets you see the state of a page at any point in time. So the easy way to calculate this would be to look at the page history as of the previous spin; you know what that spin was and thus what its effects were, so can re-apply them fairly easily.

One thing that would be helpful would be if people used the wiki’s edit summary feature more consistently to explain which actions they were taking; that would make it easy to, e.g., discover which updates were the result of a spin. I’ve been doing that, but not everybody has been.

against Doesn’t feel like the complexity is worth the effect. As well as being slightly harder to process, it’s also harder for a player to see who would and wouldn’t benefit from it, at any given moment.

for This does start to force some meaningful decisions, which we’re missing right now. Therefore, I think it’s worth it.

against Selfishly, as I’m not paying enough attention and there are too many players for this to be easy for me to track.
