It’s not clear to me how the Request to Punt works. When the City performs the punt, DICEX Florins are removed from the Haul, and possibly some Possessions are removed, but where do the rest of the Florins and any remaining Possessions go?

Was your intention that the Haul remains active after a punt? As written, this Proposal wouldn’t allow that because the final step of the Distribution atomic action is “Change the status of the Haul post to enacted.”

If this was intentional, and the Haul is then frozen forever, what’s the point of the random rolls? If nothing is distributed to any Thieves in a punt, then just say the Haul is “failed” and move on, in my opinion.

So my understanding is that there is a haul, and there is a haul post

Currently, the haul always gets emptied when the haul post is enacted (which is good, because a haul post cannot be created if the haul isn’t empty)

But this would allow the haul contents to roll over to the next haul post.

Ah! In my mind I had thought the Burglary had reset the Haul, but you’re right, it just adds to it. That works for me.

if we disagree… then the tension builds because the pot gets bigger!

it also gets easier to distribute evenly though.

A mild against from the outside, for making difficult Hauls easier to resolve.

per Kevan

@Kevan there is pretty significant cost to it, as you lose about half the haul.

I worry without something like this that we’ll run into a point where a haul simply doesn’t get resolved because no one wants to budge on it

“Losing” half the Haul isn’t really a cost, though - from another perspective this resolution mechanic can be seen as inflating the current Haul by 50% if people can’t reach an agreement on it. (And everyone gets an Attitude bonus!)

Given how close the Blacksmith Haul drifted to “just give everything to Desertfrog”, I think holdouts are likely to end up losing out to a frustrated quorum doing something flippant.

Noting that The Carpenter Haul will hit 48 hours in a few hours’ time, with no actual disagreement yet, just a sub-quorum of responses because it’s the weekend.
