Proposal: No more gravy train.

Passed 10-3. Timed out. Enacted by smith.

As it is mathimatically possible to calculate if it is possible to summon a demon, any Gostak can stop distiming before then. Thus, the shiny demons are rather pathetic. This proposal fixes that.

In rule 2.5, change:

To do this, e rolls DICE(X+Y+Z) where X is the number of number of Gostaks at the Distimmery, Y is the number times e has Distimmed a Dosh that day, and Z is the number of Shiny Demons. After doing so, e gains one unit of Distimmed Dosh.

To do this, e rolls DICE(X+Y+Z+Q) where X is the number of Gostaks at the Distimmery, Y is the number times e has Distimmed a Dosh that day, Z is the number of Shiny Demons, and Q is Quorum. After doing so, e gains one unit of Distimmed Dosh

Thus, one always runs a risk of Demon summoning. It is up to the distimmer to decide when the risk is too great.

There should be at least ONE safe Dosh per day.

for Why? We need shiny demons!

against I agree with Bucky.  I thought the current system was fine—everyone can distim a certain amount per day safely—the same amount each, so it’s a dead heat.  To go beyond that you need to risk something.

against, because +Q is too large for my tastes. Maybe +Q/n, for some bigger n.

We just need some way of using Dosh.  Then, we’ll run into Shiny Demons.

If it is possible to calculate when it is possible to summon Shiny Demons, then they will return to pathicness.

for, in the “to unite against our common foe” sense.

it’s true we won’t destim until dosh becomes useful. No one wants to go to hell without a worthwhile risk.
