Proposal: Pull up a Chair

Reached quorum, 6 votes to 0 (with 1 unresolved DEF). Enacted by TyGuy6.

Adminned at 01 Feb 2022 05:31:13 UTC

Add a rule, “My Other Job’s a Yacht”:

While an Employee’s number of Options is greater than 70-(10P), where P is their Productivity, they are considered Overworked, and may not perform Weekday actions.

Since Productivity is a bad thing, now…

If https://blognomic.com/archive/horizontal_integration didn’t pass, remove the sentence “A Striking Employee must set their Productivity to zero and may not increase it by any means.” and skip the rest of this proposal (the parts below this paragraph).

Change “At any time, an Employee may set their Department to Reception, their Team to “On Strike”, and their productivity to 0. All Employees whose Team is On Strike may be said to be Striking. A Striking Employee may not perform Weekday Actions, and neither their Productivity nor Options may be increased by any means.”
to

At any time, an Employee may set their Department to Reception and their Team to “On Strike”. All Employees whose Team is “On Strike” may be said to be Striking. A Striking Employee may not perform Weekday Actions, and their Options may not be increased by any means.

For each sentence which begins “Employees on the X Team receive twice as much Productivity for actions performed in”, where X is the name of a Team, change “on the” to “not on the”.

We’re replacing Energy, so…

Remove the paragraph that starts with “Each Employee has an integer number of Energy points,”.

Remove the words “costs 1 Energy and” from the sentence “A Weekday Action is a daily action which costs 1 Energy and may only be performed on a Weekday.”

Instead of introducing Energy as the limiter, I’d like to give Productivity a negative meaning: The more you save up your options, the fewer Weekday actions you can take per week. Should lead to some interesting trade-offs.

Might want to make it more clear that it’s ten times their productivity” and not “50 minus 10”. Also “not on the” should be “not in the”.

Also, I’m struggling to understand the math on this one, but I am wondering about how many actions this would theorhetically allow people to do in a single day/week.

Thanks, fixing the equation.

“not on the” is correct, as I’m saying anyone NOT on the team should have to get double productivity. The specialized can do the work in half the effort.

Oh I get it, I mixed up what part you were changing (the teams part, not the department part).

Example:
Brendan starts this week with 12 options, 0 prod. He takes 2 actions in his department, and has 24 options, 2 prod. The math works out 50-20=30, so he hasn’t gone over.

He takes a third action in a different department. Now he has 30 options, 4 prod. 50-40=10, so his 30 options need to be vested or he stops at three actions for the week.

A little cramped, maybe, but the idea is to eventually force vesting. I guess I’ll raise the cap to 70-10P.

would be nice if this still works if integration fails

@Clucky Actually, you’re right, it’s not even all that hard, since the majority of the changes aren’t necessary if Integration fails.

EDIT for those who have already read the proposal: I moved the “if integration didn’t pass” clause from the first paragraph to down below the first change, and included in it a single sentence to remove from “On Strike” in the case that Integration didn’t pass.

Yeah I like this as a way of balancing; I like some of the interactions it’ll force
