Proposal: Prize Winning Tomatoes

Add a new dynastic rule titled “State Fair Competition” with the following text:

Each Tomato crop has a Tender statistic that can only be a positive integer and is tracked on the Garden Patch wiki page directly below the Plot which the Tomato crop is in.  New Tomato crops start with a Tender value of 0.  As a daily action, a Farmer with at least one Tomato Crop in their Plot may Tend exactly one of their Tomato Crops.  When a Farmer Tends one of their Tomato crops, they shall increase the Tender value of that Tomato by 1.

As a weekly action, the Landlord may make a story post with the text “[Fair]” in the title, called a State Fair post.  In the State Fair post, the Landlord shall include at least the Prize, which may be any Gamestate effect including but not limited to an amount of Sun, Juice, or Wood.  A State Fair post may be Open, Closed, or Resolved.  When a State Fair post is posted, it is Open.  When a State Fair post has been Open for 48 hours, it is immediately considered Closed.

While a State Fair post is Open, any Farmer may make exactly one Entry comment that includes the text “count me in” and the Tender value of one of the Tomato crops on their Plot at which point the Farmer must remove the Tomato crop whose Tender value was specified from their Plot (the Tomato crop is not considered to be destroyed for the purposes of the rules “Zombejuice” and “Storage Space”).  A Farmer may not make more than one Entry comment to a State Fair post.

While a State Fair post is Closed, the Landlord may Resolve the post by rolling XDICE3 in the GNDT for each Entry comment, where X is the Tender value specified by the Entry comment.  The Farmer who made the Entry comment for which the DICE roll was highest is considered the Winner and receives the Prize specified in the State Fair post, at which point the State Fair post becomes Resolved.  If two or more Entry comments tie for the highest DICE roll, then all Farmers who made the winning Entry comments shall receive the specified Prize.

Add the following Effect to the Tomato crop:

When the Planter harvests, they must choose to either destroy this Crop or set its Tender value to 0.

for Love it, except maybe the winning condition of the Fair. Does 2DICE6 return 1 value from 2 to 12 or two values from 1 to 6?

against .  I have learned the hard way not to trust the Landlord with the power to cause arbitrary gamestate changes.

I also do not want yet another daily grinding activity

against Apart from Bucky’s concerns, this contradicts itself by assigning an illegal Tender value to new Tomatoes.
