Proposal: More Treasures

Reached quorum, 3-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

To the table of Artifacts in the subrule “Artifacts”, insert the following entries:

| Aeolian Pouch || Action: Choose any one Disturbance or Fishing Hole || Move that Disturbance or Fishing Hole one orthogonal step on the Sea Chart
|-
| Merfolk Charm || Condition: Your Oxygen would be changed to a negative value || Your Oxygen is unchanged
|-
| Pearl of Wisdom || Action: Initiate a virtual action ||  As part of resolving that virtual action, the Elder Judge must privately communicate to you an example of a string that is In Season. This example should be different from all of the current Found Fish, the Big One, and any other examples sent to you as a result of previous uses of a Pearl of Wisdom
|-

Replace the contents of the subrule Treasures with the following text:

When a Fishing Contestant who performs Diving for Treasure gets a result of Treasure, they may either
* gain 1DICEN Doubloons where N is their current depth, OR
* select the row from the table below where their Depth is within the numerical range of the Treasure Result column of that row, and then apply the Effect on that row to themselves:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Treasure Result !! Effect
|-
| 1-3 || Add the Aeolian Pouch to your Artifacts if you don't already have it
|-
| 4-5 || Add the Atlantean Helm to your Artifacts if you don't already have it
|-
| 6-7 || Add the Merfolk Charm to your Artifacts if you don't already have it
|-
| 8-9 || Add the Smooth Obsidian Stone to your Artifacts if you don't already have it
|-
| 10 || Add the Pearl of Wisdom to your Artifacts if you don't already have it
|-
| 11 || Add the Seeding Rod to your Artifacts if you don't already have it
|-
| 12-14 || Add the Twin Rune Pendant to your Artifacts if you don't already have it
|-
| 15 or greater || Choose any two of the above Effects
|}

Adding three new treasures and changing how doubloon gain works (currently you either lose doubloons or break even on average when Diving for Treasure).

I don’t think the current Artifacts table is sorted in any particular way. It’s “almost” alphabetical except that “Twin Rune Pendant” is in the wrong place, but the current ordering is completely coincidental.

For the Pearl of Wisdom, you might want to change that Effect from “As part of that virtual action, receive” to “As part of Resolving that virtual action, the Elder Judge must provide” so that it’s clear who has to provide the example. I’m sure it seems obvious that only the Elder Judge could do that, but as it’s currently written, it might be read as an impossible Effect to carry out.

Oh right, I thought it was alphabetical. Edited to address both points.
