Proposal: Putting In Your Pink Slip
In the rule “Guards and Burglars” add a subrule named “Retiring” with the following text:
There is a publicly tracked list named Retiring in which each entry contains the name of an Agent, defaulting to an empty list.
At any time, an Agent may add their name to Retiring or remove their name from Retiring.
In the rule “The Break-In”, add the following just before the last step in Breaking In:
* For every Agent whose name is in Retiring, remove that Agent’s name from Retiring and idle that Agent.
Several Agents wanted to wait to idle until Breaking In was performed. The problem is that the teams are then set up for the next round, and if they idle at that time, the teams will continue to be unbalanced most likely.
This method lets the Agents who want to idle do so at the end of Breaking In before team assignments occur.
Note that this only really works because the Concierge happens to also be an Admin. If the Concierge wasn’t an admin, this would be a little more tricky.
due to potential core rules damage – if a Break-In is done incorrectly then we’ll think players are idle who aren’t actually idle, and that might mean that we enact a core proposal without having enough votes.
