Proposal: Nomich World Cup

Reached quorum 4 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 06 Sep 2023 08:08:40 UTC

Add a new dynastic rule as a subrule to the rule The Gamblers, called Betting:

At any time, a Punter may place a Bet. Bets placed are publicly tracked and must have the following elements: a single, specific Sporting Event (identified by the Sport and the date on which it will occur) that has not yet occurred, an outcome (defined in the rule for the Sport of that Sporting Event), and a Stake (which must be a positive quantity of Readies that is not greater than the amount of Readies that Punter has, minus the Stakes of any other open Bets that Punter has).

After a Sporting Event has occurred, the Bookie should Cash all Bets for that Sporting Event, as an atomic action with the following steps:
* Remove all such Bets from public tracking
* For each Bet’s whose Outcome occured, increase the Readies of the betting Punter by the amount of the Stake.
* For each Bet whose Outcome did not occur, decrease the Readies of the betting Punter by the amount of the Stake.

Add a subrule to the rule Form Sheet, called Nomich:

Potential participants: Gothmog Hall, Ichneumon Hall, Penanggalan Hall, Bandersnatch Hall
Required Participants: 2
Potential Outcomes: X Participant wins; Draw
Method of Resolution: The Bookie shall secretly randomly deal each Participating Participant 7 cards from a standard 52 card deck. The Participant that scores the highest along the metric found here wins.

Should “Team” be “Participant”? The term isn’t being used anywhere else.

If I were to take the betting rules very literally, where I can place a Bet on an Outcome out of the list of Potential Outcomes, then these are the Potential Outcomes exactly as you wrote them:

* One Participant wins and the other loses
* Draw

So, I could place my Bet on “One Participant wins and the other loses”.

I think your actual intention is to bet on one of the Participants. Could you either clarify that in your Proposal, or confirm that my initial statement was the actual intent?
