Add a new rule called “Ware and Tear” with the following text
Each driver has a condition for their taxi cab, tracked in the GNDT in a column called “Condition”, which is either “Working Order”, “Broken Down” or “In the Shop”. New driver’s start with a condition of “Working Order”.
If a driver’s condition is Broken Down, they may spend 5 cash to change their condition to In the Shop.
If a driver’s condition has been In the Shop and nothing else for the past 24 hours, that driver may set their condition to Working Order.
If a driver’s condition has been Broken Down and nothing else for the past 3 days, that driver may set their condition and cash to the default values for a new player.
Set the condition of every driver to Working Order
replace
a Driver may Drive
with
a Driver whose condition is Working Order may Drive
Clearly fixing your cab should cost money. I donno if 5 is enough. But it seems reasonable. However, if you don’t have enough funds you should be able to restart. Pay 5 cash to get going again in 1 day or all your cash to get going again in 3 days seems like a reasonable balance.
Not totally sure how the cab should break down (we could track how much its used in a week. Or even remove the “twice a day” rule but do something like ‘Whenver you driver, roll a DICEN where N is the number of times (including this one) that you have driven in the last 24 hours. If the result is greater than 3 set your condition to Broken Down).
Bucky:
I really hope this isn’t inflictable on other drivers, ever. In fact, it seems like the main purpose for this is to force whoever is unfortunate enough to break down to hit their double-dailies more consistently for the rest of the week.
