I do like this but it’d break Fixtures and Fittings if that Proposal has been enacted. 

How will it break Fixtures and Fittings?

Dark simply won’t be a valid signal, so you can’t go straight to dark.

Okay, I follow now. I’m having trouble keeping things straight between proposals and the ruleset. CoV. 

Actually, CoV. I don’t want to be locked in before I have a chance to read the Tally Up post.

I don’t follow how allowing a secret next-day default resolves the “truck A only wants to be open if truck B is closed” situation. Both trucks will want to wait and see whether the other closes during the new day, won’t they, rather than telling the Yard in advance that they want to Close immediately at the very start of that day?

I wouldn’t characterise this situation as a game of chicken, as nothing is forcing an outcome. It’s just a stalemate where neither wants to act. I’d expect two Trucks who were in that situation to recognise it as such, and to reach and honour some private agreement (as happened in the Castaway dynasty).

Ah, I misread this, you’re removing the ability to Close in real time so it would remove the option to close during the day. Fair enough then.

Asking players to decide whether they want to Close in the next round before they’ve seen the results of the current one might be a bit heavy, just to head off this potential stalemate.

Don’t forget that we have the “(Today Only:)” option to delay rule changes that would affect the current round.

I like the idea of locking in open status rather than having it publicly tracked, though I agree that it’d be better to have it locked in after seeing the results of the previous round. Symbolic in support of revising.

Ah, that’s right, we don’t have the Revisions Allowed anymore.

Probably better to and force the revision sooner rather than later.
