Proposal: Overdrive again

self killed—Clucky

Adminned at 12 Jul 2012 17:20:51 UTC

Add a new rule called “Quota” and give it the following text:

Each Worker has an amount of Quota, tracked in the GNDT and defaulting to 0. As a daily action, a Worker may add 5 to their Quota. If a Worker fails to perform this action during a day, then they may perform it an extra time during any of the following three days.

A Worker cannot have more than 25 Quota. If any Worker has more than 25 Quota, that Worker’s Quota is reduced to 25.

Wherever it occurs in the ruleset, replace

A Worker may, as a daily action

with

A Worker may spend 1 quota to

If it occurs in the ruleset, replace

If a Power Link is not established, the worker may immediately perform this action again (without it counting against the daily action restrictions). If that action also does not establish a Power Link he may attempt to perform it a third time, but no more after that (unless, of course, he preforms the action on a later day as a daily action).”

with

If a Power Link is not established, the worker may immediately perform this action again without spending any quota. If that action also does not establish a Power Link he may attempt to perform it a third time without spending any quota but no more after that (unless, of course, he spends another quota).”

If it occurs in the rulset, replace

If a Power Link is not established, the worker may immediately perform this action again (without it counting against the daily action restrictions). If that action also does not establish a Power Link he may attempt to perform it a third time, but no more after that (unless, of course, he preforms the action on a later day as a daily action).”

If a Power Link is not established, the worker may immediately perform this action again without spending any quota. If that action also does not establish a Power Link he may attempt to perform it a third time without spending any quota but no more after that (unless, of course, he spends another quota).”

If it occurs in the ruleset, replace

If no machines were de-shrouded as a result of this action, the worker may immediately perform this action again (without it counting against the daily action restrictions). If that action also does de-shroud any machines he may attempt to perform it a third time, but no more after that (unless, of course, he preforms the action on a later day as a daily action)”

with

If no machines were de-shrouded as a result of this action, the worker may immediately perform this action again without spending any quota. If that action also does de-shroud any machines he may attempt to perform it a third time without spending any quota but no more after that (unless, of course, he spends another quota)”

For the purposes of the rule “Quota” every Worker performed the gain quota action each of the three days before the date this proposal is enacted.

Set every Worker’s quota to zero, including idle Workers.

 

scshunt is gonna go idle in a day. Only a few of us are actually doing anything. Rather than punting the whole thing, I’d rather kick this into overdrive. Let people do up to five actions a day, even build up a big bank roll.

Otherwise, we’d be looking at a month before this thing ends. We still have over a third of the machines left to deshroud (so say, 40 actions there), still have 97 machines to activate… and simply ending the dynasty early would be no fun,

I’m wondering how this rule will come into play if scshunt goes idle: “If there is no Foreman, the Dynasty is a Metadynasty.”

Clucky: he/him

he is still the foreman even if he is idle.

Also I screwed up the proposal an included the power link thing twice, editing half of it each time. So against but please comment as to if you actually like the idea or not.

Yeah, I’d go for it.

Looks mostly good.

Messes a bit with the recent unjamming rule since previously there was no harm in trying, whereas now its a waste of a quota to have a 1/N chance of unjamming that machine you want. I’d probably like to see that rule be exempt. Shift change is in a similar state, but I can see shift change being very powerful later on with more operations available.

The harm in trying to unjam was that you used up your daily unjamming attempt. I’d rather give people the choice of what actions they want to make. Sure some are more powerful, but eventually we’re gonna have to unjam machines…
