Proposal: Lobby Boy

Popular, 7-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Add a subrule to “The Hotel”:-

Whenever the Concierge is required to make a choice between several outcomes during the course of a dynastic action, they should do so in a secretly random manner.

Following on from Qenya’s comment about non-random distributions on Okay But Like What Are They. The current ruleset allows me some freedom in choosing how to place and name things, but with an Imperial Style of “try to be fair to all players”, that’s a complex decision to make fairly. What is the fairest arrangement of possible Artifacts across the Hotel, bearing in mind everyone’s teams and Skills and Flaws and available Preparation Actions?

(I think it’s probably also a less interesting game, if poor play decisions matter less because the moderator will try to steer the game to compensate for them.)

This is apparently creating a subrule with no name?

The appendix does have a fix for that (copying the name of the proposal), but it’ll leave the ruleset looking a little weird.

I agree that this is an improvement, though.  for
