Proposal: Taking inspiration from the segment names

Times out. Fails 2-5—Clucky

Adminned at 31 May 2020 01:31:52 UTC

If there is a Segment named Ditzy, then set the Global Effect of the Segment named Laziness to “Each Amnesiac who has not voluntarily changed their Wager since the most recent Wheel spin gains 1 Point”, and the Global Effect of the Segment named Upturned to “Set each Amnesiac’s Wager to contain all and only those segments it previously didn’t contain”.

If there is a rule called “Apples”, then replace all instances with “Point” in Segment Global Effects with “Apple”.

I’m less clear on what Numbness, Rimless or Manatee should do, but these ones have fairly clear behaviour (and it’s probably best for the game if not all the segments are identical).

Not a fan of Upturned. Its a cute idea, but it forces very active game play. Someone might run the risk of leaving a huge wager because they missed a day and didn’t realize that upturned happened. Maybe instead just cause everyone to gain one wager? I’m not sure how to do it without being too much work on the Spinner…

against Laziness is good, but yes, Upturned is too punishing to players who aren’t paying attention.

“Each Amnesiac who has not voluntarily changed their Wager since the most recent Wheel spin gains 1 Point”

It could be loophole?

The problem is that, without the Upturn new rule, the other rule could lead to a loophole. Indeed, if I have all the Segments, I get always 1 point.

But I don’t like the Upturn new rule, too much alea :)

against It’s unclear to me whether the “previously” in Upturned’s Global Effect means “At the time that the <Global Effect> happens” or “At any time in the dynasty before <Global Effect> happened”. If it’s the later, what about segments which have been removed (if there are any)?
