Proposal: Viral Marketing

To the subrule “Hot Topic”, append

Each Ingredient has a publicly tracked Trendiness value, which is a non-negative integer defaulting to 5. As a Serve Action, a Closed Truck may increase the Trendiness of one Ingredient of their choice by 2, and set their Operating Status to Dark.

In the rule “The Night”, replace

Set the Trending Ingredient to a random Ingredient that has not been the Trending Ingredient in the last 4 rounds.

with

Reduce the current Trending Ingredient’s Trendiness by 3 (if one exists), increase a random Ingredient’s Trendiness by 1, then set the Trending Ingredient to a random Ingredient from among those with the highest Trendiness.

Adding a way to influence the Trending Ingredient, while maintaining the randomness and non-repeating nature of the trends if left to their own devices.
