If the rule “Cash” exists, add a subrule to it. Call it “Profit Appropriation” and give it the following text:
Whenever a Driver Requests Assignment, their Cash becomes 0.
This way you are encouraged to spend your Cash each week and not just grind up a huge pile to sit on. Plus, our corporate overlords have debt to pay off
Repropose when we know what Cash is used for. This could easily increase grinding, by requiring intense activity all in the same week rather than allowing a more relaxed pace over a longer time.
@Spitemaster: Currently ambiguous, but would be just as effective if it were ‘immediately after’ instead of ‘whenever’
In favor of “Route Switching”. Even if it’s decided this doesn’t keep it from having an effect, it still changes it from a strategic trade-off to a no-brainer. If it looks like that will fail, I’ll CoV.
Further explanation: I’m all for things to reduce the grind. Really, Cash was to include some mechanic without me needing to go to great length to define how one acquires new Routes.
If we want Route Switching to work too, then I guess we should modify the rule to zero it after any possible Route Switching expenditures.
