Proposal: Just a Little Change

Passes 2-1, but does nothing. — Quirck

If the Proposal titled “More Routes to Take” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

Remove the line “Spend 1 Grand Pie and receive 20 Cream Pies.” from the rule “Locations”

Revert the text of the rule “Pie Quota” back to the following:

Whenever a Baker has more than 10 Pies of a certain flavor, the number of their Pies of that flavor is set to 10.

A Baker cannot have more than 20 Pies in total. If performing some action would result in at least one Baker having more than 20 Pies, that action may not be performed.

Add the following as a subrule to the dynastic rule “Pies,” with the title “Grandest Baker”:

If a Baker spends 24 continuous hours in which their number of Grand pies is always at least 3 and their Position is never Out, then that Baker has achieved victory.

 

I love Clucky’s previous gigantic rule, all except for the removing of the 10-pie cap.  So let’s make Grand Pies worthwhile without completely breaking the dam on cream pies, eh?

against we don’t completely break the dam on cream pies, we just boost it a little bit. I like the pie war mechanic, this seems to susceptible to warp pies.

(I think you’re confusing Warp pies (which let you move Locations) with Portal Pies (which swap pies between players).  I’ll assume you mean Portal Pies here.)

How would this be susceptible to Portal pies?  You can’t target people on purpose with Portals, and even if you do Portal a hoard of Grand pies to yourself, you’re no more guaranteed a win than the person you took them from, since Pies are perfectly swapped between you.

But it still makes it too much of a better of luck. I guess you could combat it by spending all your time in the science lab and just popping in and out to do other stuff like actually bake the grand pies, but that would just slow the dynasty down.

It makes it too much “who can get a lucky dice roll” for my liking and encourages too much pie hoarding. I’d rather you cream them and throw them at people.
