Proposal: Laying the crustwork

Open for 12 hours, quorums 6-0. — Quirck

Add a new dynastic rule called “Pies” and give it the following text

Each Baker has a collection of Pies tracked in the GNDT in a column called “Pies”. Pies come in a number of different Flavors which are listed below. For each Baker, Pies field of the GNDT contains a comma separated list containing the number of Pies that Baker has in each flavor in the order the Flavors are listed below. (So if the Flavors are “Apple” “Rhubarb” and “Cherry” a worker with a Pies field of “3, 2, 0.5” has three Apple Pies, two Rhubarb Pies, and half a Cherry Pie). Bakers can only have non-negative amounts of each flavor of pie. The total number of Pies a Baker has is the sum of the number of pies of each Flavor he has, and is tracked for convenience in a GNDT column called “Total”. Bakers starts with zero of each flavor of pie by default.

The Flavors of Pie are as follows:

Apple

More flavors can be added later once they already do stuff. But again I don’t want to establish basic gameplay day 1 and then have the rest of the dynasty be simple modifications to that gameplay. Don’t get me wrong, that worked really well for the taxicab and Ansible dynasties, I’m just up for something different.

Non-negative integer amounts?

I’m okay with you having half a pie… we can certainly add the integer restriction if desired.

for I prefer to not have the integer restriction, just so I can have pi pies.

Appendix specifies that numbers are integer unless stated otherwise. You assume we can have non-integer amounts, but can example “0.5” be considered enough to actively use real numbers? Just curious :)

Ah probably not. Better to clarify they can be decimals. Can cross that bridge when needed though
