Add a new dynastic rule, “Baabucks”:
Baabucks are currency used by Sheep. Each Sheep owns an integral number of Baabucks, which can be zero but cannot be negative. New Sheep, and Sheep unidling for the first time in the dynasty, have their Baabuck holdings set to the median of all other Sheep’s Baabuck holdings.
Set each Sheep’s Baabuck holdings to 0.
Additionally, if there is a dynastic rule called “Officials”, add the following sentence to the above-created rule:
As a weekly action, a Sheep who has held the same Official Position for 7 days may gain 1 Baabuck.
and add the following subrule, “Baanker”, to “Officials”:
Duties: Must ensure every Sheep gains at least 1 Baabuck every week.
Powers: As a weekly action, the Baanker can award 1 Baabuck to every Sheep.
Using the median is my standard for this sort of thing; it tends to put newly joining Sheep not so far back that they’re out of touch, but with a definite disadvantage compared to Sheep who have been gathering them all dynasty. This gives basic rewards for hanging onto Official Positions, and a basic salary for everyone, in case Baabuck-spending mechanics are implemented (I don’t have strong feelings about whether they should be or not, they’d do just as well as a method of keeping score). Salary’s implemented via an Official Position to increase the chance that people can mess about with it in an interesting way using the other mechanics in the dynasty.
