Proposal: The Book Is Open

Reached quorum 4 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Add a new dynastic rule to the ruleset, called the Form Sheet:

A Sporting Event requires an identified Sport, and any additional details required by the subrule that carries that Sport’s name, if such a rule exists. There is a publicly tracked list of upcoming Sporting Events, called the Form Sheet. It lists the upcoming Sporting Events for at least the next seven days; if at any point it does not show at least one Sporting Event per day for the next seven days then the Bookie may randomly select a sporting event for each upcoming day and add it to the list, until at least one Sporting Event is displayed for the next ten days.

The Sports that can occur as part of a Sporting Event are as follows:
* Nomich
* Clingboom
* Soccer
* Bloggsball
* Giolitti
* Estate Agent Wrestling
* Blogbots

The specific elements that make up a Sport are detailed in subrules to this rule. As a minimum, a Sport should have a total number of potential Participants, a number of Required Participants for a Sporting Event, a list of Potential Outcomes, and a method of resolution.

The Bookie may generate the resolution, if defined, to any Sporting Event in advance of the time at which it takes place. A day’s sporting events all take place on that day at exactly noon UTC; as soon as possible thereafter the Bookie should make a Results Post, a post in the Story Posts category detailing all sporting events that have taken place that have not appears in a previous Results Post, and any results that may be associated with those events.

Add a new dynastic rule to the ruleset, called The Gamblers:

Each Punter has an amount of Readies, which is privately tracked by the Bookie and which defaults to 100. A Punter may request their number of Readies from the Bookie at any time; the Bookie should respond as soon as they are able when such a request is received.

Eh, sorry, I just noticed a problem.

“a total number of potential Participants” should probably be “a list of potential Participants”, shouldn’t it? Otherwise, the first Sport defined, “Nomich World Cup”, wouldn’t be valid because it contains a list of Participants, not the total number “4”.

Or am I just being pedantic about what “total number” means?

“should” makes it okay to pass and fix, I think
