Proposal: The Masked Hypothetical Value

Illegal proposal, flagged by Kevan.

Adminned at 21 Mar 2021 15:24:42 UTC

In “Masks (Impending)”, change

Each Player may wear a Mask, which is publicly tracked, and which defaults to Pedrolino. A Player may change their Mask at any time, unless they are one of the Players of a Game in progress.

to

Each Player may wear a Mask, which is publicly tracked, and which defaults to not wearing any mask. A Player may wear, change, or remove their Mask at any time, unless they are one of the Players of a Game in progress.

Remove Pedrolino from the list of Masks in “Masks (Impending)”.
Add to the end of the subrule “Masks (Impending)” the following:

Each Mask has a Value, which is a integer number that is publicly tracked and defaults to 50.  Whenever a Game is declared Clean, the Campione for that Game, if they are wearing a Mask, has its Mask’s Value increased by 10.  As a Daily Communal Action, any Player or Dealer may multiply all Values by 0.9, rounded down.

Value system isn’t actually attached to anything right now, but I think it’s still a good indicator.

Edited out of the edit window, alas.

This is now illegal and should be marked as such when it reaches the top of the queue.

If it’s illegal we can mark it as that at any time. What actually happened here: Jumble began writing it as a draft, posted it three hours later with that earlier timestamp, and then moved it to the Proposal category?

Actually we can’t:

Any post that is or is made illegal as a result of an infraction against any of the prohibitions set out in this rule continues to be an Official Post but may no longer have any effect on the ruleset or the gamestate. If it is a Votable Matter then it is Unpopular, regardless of any other performance against criteria set out in the core rules. When it is resolved it may be marked as Illegal by the resolving admin.

It only becomes illegal when resolved as unpopular through the regular order of resolving proposals.

I like this idea and would be happy to see it again, with actual penalties for overvalued masks attached.

Defaulting to no Mask is a good idea, but it seems easy enough to spot popular masks by just glancing at the player list.

veto Giving this a veto for good measure before failing this, that “made illegal as a result of an infraction” rule is looking a bit weird to me.
