Proposal: Speeding Things Up a Bit

Quorums 1-5. — Quirck

In the Dynastic Rule called “Upgrades,” remove the text “If a Baker does not perform this action during a day, they gain one Empty Pie at the end of that day unless this is prohibited by the “Pie Quota” rule.”

Add a new subrule to the rule “Upgrades” called “Daily Deliveries”, with the following text:

Each Baker gains exactly one Empty pie at the end of each day, unless the Baker explicitly chooses NOT to gain this Empty pie or gaining the pie is prohibited by the “Pie Quota” rule.

 

This should put on the accelerator on this Dynasty a bit (but not too much).  Right now, lots of boring daily actions are spent replenishing Empty Pies, and this would alleviate that.  Since Empties are still capped at 10 and Total Pies capped at 20, this shouldn’t get too out of hand or OP.  And if this rule overloads people so much that they hit the cap of 20 and can’t make the pies they want, we can add a Trashing rule without much trouble.  I’m not fully convinced that we NEED to make this move, but I have a feeling I’m not the only person who wishes we could move a little faster.

against everyone has at least three empty pies right now so I’m not really sure the problem. Plus the whole point of the rule was so that if you don’t get on in one day, you don’t fall too far behind. This removes that aspect.

I disagree, but I see where you’re coming from.  If that’s not the problem, then what might we do to speed things up?  I’m open to anything that works; this was just my first idea because it leverages a system already in place.

against I agree that the dynasty is becoming kind of boring as (imho) we have failed so far to develop an interesting gameplay; however, this Proposal would only emphasize the importance of the daily action (as Clucky said), which I think is a bad thing.
