Proposal: The Final Countdown

Replace the following text in the rule “Customers”:


There are at least as many Customers as Trucks.


With:


There are at least as many Customers as the number of Trucks, plus one.

Insert the following step into the Serve Atomic Action after “Queue Up” and before “Wash Up”:

* (From Tomorrow:) Last Call: Perform the Final Sale action

Add the following text to the rule The Night:

The Final Sale is an atomic action, with the following ordered steps:
1. Select the Dish that was purchased the most during the Queue up step in the Night action as the Dish of the Day. If there is a tie then choose one of these Dishes at random to be the Dish of the Day.
2. Perform a Sale for the Truck whose Menu contained the Dish of the Day by overriding the steps of the Sale for this Sale only:
  * The Active Customer reads the menu: The Yard selects the Dish of the Day to be the Active Customer’s Choice.
  * They look around: Nothing happens
  * They buy their meal: The Truck gains Dollars equal to the Price of the Active Customer’s Choice

(Moved to the proposal category as this “appears to the Yard to have been intended as a Proposal”.)

against This feels like a “win-more” proposal - if you’re already doing well for a day this is great, but it could also create some difficult-to-overcome leads

I have the opposite take. It’s the dish that was purchased the most, so it would have to be a dish with common ingredients among at least two Trucks, and thus be the lowest-price dish among them (absent any Fixtures). Whoever got that would certainly be doing well, but could be outdone by other trucks with more unique dishes at higher prices.

Right, the intent is to create more competition which means brutal pricing undercutting with lower profit margins. Its just another strategy to take.

against don’t like the win-more take to it; and no (tomorrow)

Oh, you have tomorrow; but the first point still stands

also; JD; the lowest-price dish among them could be 20/20/19.

against I think I’d be more supportive if if weren’t possible for this to kick in for a dish that was only bought once.
