Proposal: The Closing Circle

Add a step to the end of the bullet list in “Performance”:-

* For each Truck that is in the bottom 25% (rounded down, minimum of 0) of the Trucks in the Valuation List, set that Truck’s Operating Status to Out.

In “Food Trucks”, replace “may be either Open, Closed or Dark” with “may be either Open, Closed, Dark or Out”.

To the end of that rule, add:-

A Truck with an Operating Status of Out is also considered to be Dark, and it may not change its own Operating Status.

Change the Refresh action in The Night from “Set the Operating Status of all Trucks to Open” to:-

Set the Operating Status of all Trucks (excluding those with an Operating Status of Out) to Open

I’d considered explicit elimination a while ago to tighten the focus as the rounds went on, and decided it was probably too late to try introducing it. But given that a few players (including the two with the fewest dollars) just voted to potentially end the game with themselves cut out of being able to win, maybe it’s fine.

I’m holding my vote to see if any of the bottom 25% are willing to self-eliminate.

Fair, I’ll withdraw the proposal if Lawnomos is strongly against it.

(We can probably infer that Arthexis and Darknight are both fine with it, as they respectively proposed and supported the “end the game maybe immediately, after eliminating the bottom 10 players from contention” proposal.)

Having said that, this won’t trigger until after the next Night has been processed, so the three lowest-dollar players may have changed by then.
