Proposal: Manul rules, take two

Open for 48 hours, passes 5-0.—Quirck

Add a new rule “Manul exchange” saying:

A Farmer may at any time buy a Manul by spending 7 CW and increasing the number of his Manuls by one.

If the number of Manuls a Farmer has is more than the number of Amulets his Manuls possess, he may at any time sell a Manul by gaining 6 CW and reducing number of his Manuls by one.

If the number of Farmer’s Manuls equals the number of Amulets his Manuls possess, he may at any time select one Amulet and sell the Manul possessing this Amulet by excluding this Amulet from the corresponding list in the GNDT, reducing number of his Manuls by one and gaining 6 CW.

Add a new rule “Breeding” with the text:

As a daily action, a Farmer owning not less than two Manuls may allow his Manuls to breed. To do this, he must roll DICEN in the GNDT, where N is the total number of Manuls he has divided by two and rounded down. The result is the number of newborn Manuls. He then must increase the number of his Manuls by the number of the newborn Manuls.

If a Farmer has not taken this action during a Day, the default breeding action shall take place: at the end of that Day, the number of newborn Manuls is determined as above, and all the newborn Manuls are sold. This default action doesn’t count as performing a daily action of breeding. Any Farmer or the Demon may update the GNDT to reflect the results of this default action.

 

Wanna receive feedback on the wording and suggestions on the following issues. I’m fine with performing default calculations each day but since i rather unfortunately live in UTC+4, end of the day is at deep night for me. So I can only reflect changes after 9-10 or so hours, which is unacceptable probably. Moving the time of the actions is possible maybe for the feeding, but not for the breeding since this action may be modified by a farmer if he is willing to change amount of manuls he has. As for “doesn’t count as a daily action”, since the default breeding affects CW only, it may be assumed that the farmer took the default action somewhere midday.

Excluded for now:
“Add ... a subrule “Feeding” saying:

At the end of each Day each Farmer shall lose the amount of CW equal to twice the number of Manuls he has.
If for some Farmer this action cannot be performed due to CW illegally becoming negative, one of this Farmer’s Manuls without an Amulet shall be sold and the action retried. If the action still fails, one Amulet his Manuls have shall be chosen at random, and the Manul possessing this Amulet shall be sold, and the action retried.
Any Farmer or the Demon may update the GNDT to reflect the changes required by this rule.”
