If “Everyone remember your goals and objectives” was not enacted, enact it.
In the rule “Employees”, replace “Each Innie has a Stress, which is an integer of 0 or higher, defaulting to 2.” with the following:
Each Innie has a Stress, privately tracked by the Board, which is an integer of 0 or higher and defaults to 2. At any time, an Innie may privately request the current value of their Stress from the Board, and the Board should privately reply with that Innie’s Stress (at the time of the reply) at their earliest convenience. Whenever an Innie’s Stress changes, the Board should privately inform that Innie of their Stress at their earliest convenience.
In the same rule, replace “Each Innie has a Work Ethic” with “Each Innie has a publicly-tracked Work Ethic”.
It might be more interesting if Stress is private, so that other Innies don’t know how Stressed their coworkers are.
I am fine with the idea in principle, but I’ll def since it’s not my call whether it’s too high a workload or not.
SingularByte: he/him
So the tricky part about prviate stress is that it will both be very visible in places (if the emperor has to decrease someone’s worth ethic according to their current stress), while also leaving the work ethic more likely to be wrong (if regular players can’t directly check whether it’s valid).
As a side effect, this means that Star Employee, Slacker and the department counterparts are impossible to judge by non-emperors.
It’s not necessarily going to mean stress has to be public, but that some more of my rule might need reworking to cope.
