Proposal: Stonks
Add a new dynastic rule, titled “The Market”:
There exist three Stocks, each of which is associated with a non-Wealth Resource:
* Deep State Inc ($DSI for short) is associated with Influence;
* Celebrity Drivel News ($CDN for short) is associated with Fame;
* The Academic Research Cooperative ($ARC for short) is associated with Savvy.Each Stock has a numeric Price, and every Seeker has a numeric amount of Shares in each Stock, both of which are publicly tracked.
As a Weekly Action, a Seeker may Trade. They do this by buying and/or selling any amount of their Shares in any amount of Stocks (with the value of each Share given by its Price and paid in Wealth). Wealth gained from selling Shares is not boosted by Aspiration.
Seekers with a Job of Investor may Trade as a Daily Action rather than a Weekly Action.
As a Communal Daily Action, any Seeker or the Custodian may Update Prices, which is the following atomic action:
* For every non-Wealth Resource:
** Calculate the percentage of non-Wealth Resources owned by all Seekers which are that Resource (a real number from 0 to 100).
** Divide the result of the previous step by 10.
** If the result of the previous step is less than 2, set it to 2.
** Set the Price of the Stock associated with that Resource to the result of the previous step, rounded to the nearest integer.
Why not do a little investment as a Wealth mechanic? The more of a non-Wealth Resource there is relative to the other Resources the more valuable the Stock for that Resource gets. My goal is to eventually have an obtaining mechanic for every resource (instead of just Influence, which is a little lopsided), maybe some others can help fill in Fame and Savvy
