Proposal: Turbo taxis

Quorum at 7-2-1. ~~Chronos Phaenon

Adminned at 09 Dec 2011 21:43:26 UTC

In rule 2.3, change

Twice per day, but not more than twice in any 12-hour period,

to

Four times per day, but not more than four times in any 12-hour period,

and

As a weekly action, a Driver may Request Assignment.

to

Twice per week, but nor more than once in any 24-hour period, a Driver may Request Assignment.

A straight doubling of the pace of the dynasty; this doesn’t make it any grindier as you don’t have to be online any more often than with the previous version, just lets you get twice as much done when you are.

imperial Change of vote, because it should be the Dispatcher’s call.

It does make it grindier, previously if you had say, 6 routes that needed driving per RA you just needed to get on 3 times a week. Now you need to get on 4 times a week.

I’d still rather see the dynasty progress, so for

Still 3 times a week with this version; nothing stops you driving twice, requesting assignment, and driving twice again.

But say you wanted to cycle stuff so had 8 routes? The grindingness *is* increased. I mean, you’d agree that “14 times per day, a driver may drive or ignore a route / as a daily action a driver may request assignment” would increase grind, right?

@Clucky: yes, I guess so, because you typically don’t need to hit 7 dailies at the moment. Only a weird player wouldn’t need to hit 2 actions a week at the moment, though. (In other words, the weekly → 2-weekly does increase grind but it doesn’t matter because we have a faster grind in driving already.)

for This isn’t *quite* a straight doubling, because it increases the chunkiness of the pace, increasing the potential for timing scams.

CoV,  against due to increased time commitment per week.
