If Proposal: Lacuna has more FOR votes than AGAINST votes then it is Popular and must be enacted immediately.
Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Exhibition Matches:
As a weekly action, a Player may issue an Exhibition Challenge to another Player with a higher Magistrelli than themselves by making a story post whose title is “Story Post Challenge: X”, where x is the name of the Player to be challenged.
When such an Exhibition Challenge is issued, the challenged player and the Dealer have 24 hours to respond. A response is a comment containing a FOR voting icon to the Exhibition Challenge post.
* If neither the challengee nor the Dealer respond then the Challenge is deemed to have been lost in the mail and the Exhibition Challenge is cancelled, and the challenge post ceases to be an official post with no further effect.
* If the Dealer responds but the challengee does not then the challengee has chickened out, and five pegs are transferred from the challengee to the challenger.
* If the challengee responds but the Dealer does not then the challenger and challengee have an additional 24 hours agree to either agree to either:
** Suspend the match (in which case the Exhibition Challenge is cancelled, and the challenge post ceases to be an official post with no further effect), which will be the default outcome if no agreement is made;
** Resume the challenge, if the Dealer responds during the additional 24 hours; or
** Identify and agree a willing interim Dealer, who must set up the match and, when it is finished, close it as if they were the Dealer using the rules set out in the rule Tournament Rules of Giolitti. The Exhibition Match then goes ahead.
* If both the Dealer and the challengee respond then the game goes ahead.When an Exhibition Game goes ahead, it is set up as detailed in the rule Tournament Rules of Giolitti, with the following exceptions:
* The Readiness of the Players is neither checked nor altered;
* The stakes of the game start at 3 and players may not post a Sfida.
for obvious selfish reasons.
Kevan: he/him
A good idea, but this has the same problem that 4D Chess had, in that the Giolitti rules can’t currently handle multiple concurrent games.
Shortcut solution for now would be to say that when selecting random games, if any Exhibition Games are queued up, they get selected first instead.
