Proposal: Openly carried, openly traded

Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

At the end of the rule “Mementoes”, add:

As a daily action, an Amnesiac may cease openly carrying a Memento that they are currently openly carrying in order to cause another Amnesiac of their choice to start carrying that Memento.

We need some mechanic to allow players to gain access to Mementoes that they wouldn’t normally have; otherwise, it’s quite likely that a significant proportion of players will end up randomly locked out from a significant proportion of gameplay. This seems like an interesting (perhaps too interesting? but I’d rather err on the side of chaos than boredom) way to do it.

The daily-action restriction is intended to rarely come up; I just added it as a precaution against infinite loop scams that might potentially arise in the future, as this is the sort of mechanic that’s inherently likely to cause one.

against makes it way too easy to figure out your role. most roles only have a couple of mementos. so you can just search your pockets, find one, throw it away, find another, and now you know your role

[derrick] Trading information is already a thing, this doesn’t seem too different, and has a cost of giving away free information about your own role (broadcasting to everyone else that they aren’t that role).
