Proposal: Route Expansion

Proposal Self Killed - Prince Anduril

Adminned at 13 Nov 2011 08:56:28 UTC

Create a new rule, titled “Gaining Routes”:

At any time, a Driver may pay Cash equal to the number of Routes they currently have, minus one.  Then that Driver rolls DICEN in the GNDT, where N is the number of currently available types of Routes (Downtown, Airport, etc.).  That Driver then gains a Route of the Nth type, in alphabetical order, placing it at the end of their list.

If “Variety!” appears in half of the EVCs to this proposal and the rule “Routes” exists, enact a subrule to it, titled “Suburb”:

When a Driver Drives a Suburb route, they get the effects, if any, described in the subrule to “Routes” corresponding to the last Route in their list.

Watch your variables - “That Driver then gains a Route of the Nth type” means that you will always gain the last Route on the alphabetical list.

No, because I’ve used N before.  So if you rolled 1, N is 1, and you’d get Airport.

against You’re rolling a DICEN, rather than N being the result.

Also, it should be at least possible to influence the result with Cash, probably quite strongly. Perhaps spend N cash and roll DICEN? That way, later routes would be harder to access. Probably a couple of rerolls should be allowed to give a bit more influence over the result.

You define N as “the number of currently available types of Routes”. If you roll 1 on a DICE2, N is still 2 - you don’t explicitly say that N is set to the result of the die roll.

I believe Kevan is right.

Maybe reword to “That Driver then gains a Route of the DICENth type, in alphabetical order, placing it at the end of their list” ?? Or put in an example.

Suburb Route’s effect is not well defined if the last Route on the list is also a Suburb Route.
