In the rule “Actions”, add a subrule named “Balance” with the following text:
As a Daily Action, a Nomicer may spend a Disc to reduce the Equity of another Nomicer by 2 provided that Nomicer had more Equity than themselves before the reduction; if they do so they may then immediately increase their own Equity by 1 and must then immediately increase the Equity of another Nomicer who has less Equity than themselves by 1.
Semi-cooperative Milling, in which you not only need to target someone doing better than you (as opposed to regular Milling in which the leaders can further push down those who are behind), but you also help out someone else who’s behind.
I intentionally did not add Record the Sin to this one. If you want to make use of that to construct a Ladder Word, you have to use the regular Mill action.
for player protection reasons – I think this is likely to make most of the gameplay in the dynasty pointless (effectively fool’s-golding Equity) because as this is so much more efficient than other Equity sources, it is likely to lead to all equities ending up the same and effectively causing the dynasty to eventually be decided by an almost symmetrical dice roll.
SingularByte: he/him
I do like the idea behind this one, but I suspect it’s going to rapidly equalise the equities of the players at the top.
