Timed out 6 votes to 1. Enacted by Kevan.

If https://blognomic.com/archive/investment_game passes, this proposal does nothing

Add the following to “Private Collections”

There is also a collection known as the Collector’s Vault, which is also a list of art Titles and their Prices

When a piece of art Appreciates, its price is increased by 5% (rounded down)

Each Broker also has an amount of Cash, which is tracked publicly, and is a positive integer and defaults to $5000 (Cash may be written with a $ before it).

Add the a subrule to “Submissions” called “Sale Submissions” as follows

A broker may make a Sale Submission, which consists of a title of a piece of art in their collection and a clear indication the Broker would like to sell that piece of art to the collector. The same Broker may make multiple sale submissions during a single round. Sale Submissions may be modified to indicate the Broker no longer wishes to sell that piece at which point it no longer becomes a sale submission.

In the “Round Summary” after “Determine a word or phrase to be the round’s Theme and declare what the new theme is in the Round Post” add the following steps:

* For each valid sale submissions, if the corresponding piece of art appears in the collection of the Broker who made the bid, move it from that Broker’s collection to the Collector’s Vault (at the end of the list) and then increase the Broker’s Cash by the piece of art’s Price.
* Appreciate the art in all collections

Removing the auction mechanics as some people found that was a bit too much

for I was for the other one, so I’m for this one too. I do think that the simplification is good though.

imperial Still not convinced that we need to track actual money.

against Yeah this still feels too weighty. I don’t really understand what’s wrong with the current setup; we have paintings that are worth notional quantities, we can add switching them around, why do they have to inflate in value or be sold or any of that stuff? If just feels so ponderous.
