Proposal: Sweets for Children? That’s a fair trade.

Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

If the rule “Personal belongings” doesn’t exist, then this proposal does nothing.

Create a rule called “Bartering” with the following text:

Any Survivor, as a Daily Action, may Trade one of the Items they possess with one Item possessed by another Survivor. When they perform the Trade, they give a Survivor one Item they possess, and then take one item from the Survivor who just received their item. The new possessor of each Item shall be tracked in the GNDT. Any item which is Traded must retain the same Name and Flags (if any) as it had immediately before the Trade took place.

Surely this should require the other Survivor to consent to the trade? Otherwise, it’s going to lead to an incredibly annoying grind to get the best items.

against Per Ais. Maybe have it allow Trade posts where you ask someone if they want to trade their X for your Y.

against Might be an interesting mechanic if you just came out and called it “Stealing”, as a simulation of the rough-and-tumble of trying to take things away from people on a very small lifeboat, but as Ais523 says, if we move towards large inventories, it’ll be a constant fight to maintain the best stockpile, with the advantage going to the players who check in every day.

against per Kevan and Darknight. In addition, if my initial proposal passes and Kevan’s fails, there will be no GNDT column tracking items

Okay. Never mind s/k. Stealing is really what I had in mind. But maybe it would be better to have a possible forfeit if someone is caught (like if you role a DICE6 6, then you get caught, with a number of possible consequences if you do, losing all your items, getting thrown to the sharks, being sold as a slave to pirates, etc.)

That might make it a bit more desperate and stop people stealing just because they can.

against Prince, it’s not a s/k unless you vote against.
