Proposal: Late to the Party

Passes 6-1. - Lulu

In the bulleted list in the rule “Initialisation”, add a new item with the following text:

* If an active Machinist doesn’t own any Agendas, the Great Machine can and should at their earliest opportunity secretly randomly assign Reserve Agendas to that Machinist until they own exactly three Agendas. If not enough Reserve Agendas exist to do so, the Great Machine can create new Agendas until there are enough.

as a reminder, this sentence will be flavour text until Initialisation is complete.

You may also need to add a clause for the Great Machine to create new Agendas in the case there are not enough Reserve Agendas for the new Machinist to receive three of them.

I don’t love this.

The problem of how to allocate Agendas to joining players is tricky but I think it would make more sense to have 6 reserve agendas at any time, three of which are given to new players and 3 of which are burned so there’s an obfuscation as to what the new player has, and then the new corpus of 6 is to be publicly generated by the players.

I think having the Great Machine do it at their discretion is probably a mistake.
