Proposal: Taking Customers

Times out and fails 1-6 (with 2 DEF) -Bucky

Create a Dynastic rule, called “Customers”:

A Driver’s cab may either be With or Without Customer. Each Driver has an amount of Current Fare, initially 0. When a Driver With Customer drives a CASH Route, or any other Route that increases his Cash amount by X, his Current Fare also increases by X.
If this rule does not have a subrule titled “Pick-up”, this rule and all of its subrules do nothing.

Create a new subrule to “Customers”, called “Drop-off”:

At any time, A Driver With Customer can Drop His Customer. He then becomes a Driver Without Customer, and if his Current Fare is X, his Cash increases by X and his Current Fare drops to 0.

What are taxicab if they can’t take customers ?
So having a customer makes more cash, but you only get the cash when you drop the customer off. As to how to pick customers…

If you haven’t implicitly got a customer already, what are you being paid for? We’re driving cabs here, not 18-wheelers.

against A good first proposal, but no, this doesn’t fit too well with the existing cash mechanics. I think we’re all assuming that every route starts with a passenger and ends with them being dropped off and giving the driver some money.

There’s also a flickery paradox in “if X is true, then this rule has no effect, including the sentence which says that this rule has no effect”...
