Proposal: The Smouldering Cigar [Tournament]

Reached quorum 7 votes to 1. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 21 Mar 2021 21:45:13 UTC

If the CfJ “Shout out to Bucky for closing my edit window” has passed, this proposal has no further effect. If that CfJ is still pending, fail it.

Change the text in both the rule “Tournament Rules of Giolitti” and the ruleset section “Impending Rules” that currently reads “The Dealer may, and should at their earliest convenience, make a comment on a Closed game that identifies any Players of the game that named a card in a Play, that they did not begin that Game with. This comment, known as the Fine, ends the Game.” to read as follows:

The Dealer may, and should at their earliest convenience, make a comment on a Closed game that identifies any Players of that Game who named a card in a Play despite not having that card in their Hand when the Game began; or may make a comment on a non-Closed Game that identifies any Players of that Game who have not posted a comment on its Table in the last 48 hours, when it was that Player’s turn to make a Play or respond to a Sfida. This comment, known as the Fine, ends the Game and makes it Closed if it was not Closed already.

Putting Brendan’s timeout idea up as a proposal, but with a 48 hour window instead of 24 - I think this is closer to the slowest acceptable heartbeat of BlogNomic. (Significantly, Brendan’s first CfJ has now been open for 24 hours with four players yet to vote or comment on it, so not everyone is checking the game this frequently.)

I’d rather see it at 24 for this game. Otherwise its too slow. And because playing a game is completely opt-in, I think its okay to have a faster than normal heartbeat.

I also think that we should pass the CfJ either way, and have this possibly amend the effect if it does.

Agreeing with Clucky - even more so here because you can’t start new games until Tournament Rules are changed, but you can’t change them until all games finish.

against Because it makes the best play getting the first lead and then timing out as campione

Or is it? Surely if the player who timed out is named in the fine they cannot be the Campiore
