Proposal: Tripper Clipper

Reaches a quorum. Passes 5-0—Clucky

Adminned at 01 Jan 2022 19:19:26 UTC

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Scrapbook, with the following text:

If a Tripper is at the Final Destination stop and possesses three Souveniers that have ‘Selfie of myself’ and the name of a Roadside Attraction in their names then they have achieved victory.

If Proposal: Are We Done Yet? was not enacted then remove “is at the Final Destination stop and” from the above rule.

Overdue a VC I think.

Seems fine to me. My only concern is someone like go “This isn’t a selfie of you at a Roadside Attraction this is a Selfie of you and 0 at a roadside attraction”. Maybe want to shore up that wording.

One could also say that the souviniers are called “Selfies of Myself and X”, not “Selfies of Themselves”.

I would be glad to see this incorporate the Final Destination Stop.

Thanks all - changes made.

A bit easy for a team of three to just do this in a few moves, isn’t it? Two of them can almost be asleep on the back seat.

At the moment it would require a team of three to a) exist and then b) jump massively ahead of everybody, several times, each time waiting until the pack catches up to them - likely recreating their moves as they do, no?

this is less scammable then I originally thought because it hard to drive to attraction stops.

How does even one fulfil the “They have in their posession a Souvenier from the Attraction Stop they wish to Drive to” clause?

Kiosk stops (of which there currently are none) or trading one with another Tripper (no-one currently has any).

[Josh] It only requires any three players to reach the same Attraction, which won’t look suspicious given that reaching the earliest Attraction will become the optimal move even for solo players.

Those players wait until they’re Ready again, then announce “we pool all our selfies to a nominated player and they jump ahead and win instantly”. (Bypassing the Alliances restriction on how the mantle is passed: there is no need to pass any mantle when the group picks a winner ahead of the victory.)

Reducing the dynastic gameplay to “move to an Attraction while spending less than your starting currency on Souveniers, then team up with any two other players to win” feels a bit drab. I’d rather play the dynastic game out a bit more, to the point where we’re facing genuine decisions about where to move to.

against If this passes, I’m willing to do the thing for a mere 20% mantle equity, if a team of two wants to split the other 80%.
