Add a new closed action called “Pick the Poppies” with an effect “Gain $25”
Add the following step to the “Night” atomic action
Pruning: Remove the “Pick the Poppies” closed action from the ruleset, then remove this step.
Yeah to be clear, this gets withdrawn if the scam gets reverted but 10 > 4 so this felt like a good threat to include!
This is what I’m thinking if turns out we aren’t reverting; yup.
This is definitely the issue with early scams right here - it rarely feels like pulling off a scam unless it’ll straight up win the game, because 9 times out of 10 it’ll just get slammed with a rollback or something like this
Have we had more early votes than usual this Dynasty? I feel like the edit window is getting closed early more often, but I’m not sure if that’s just my own misremembering.
The problem with this particular scam is that the Proposal that allowed it to be pulled off also allowed the Closed Trucks to hold up the game indefinitely until they got what they wanted. It was probably unwise to pull the scam in the first place when the Closed Trucks held a supermajority.
The edit window is not a religion. When a proposal that cleanly does what it sets out to do, devotedly working around the edit window is just theatre.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s no real reason to vote Against on this until “Scam-Averse for the first week or so” unless fails :)
“Scam-Averse for the first week or so” has now been enacted, so…

I like the ransomware you’ve got going here, but I think it will be unnecessary.
