Proposal: Waiting For The Big One

Withdrawn—Clucky

Adminned at 28 Jul 2024 03:17:45 UTC

Add a new rule named “Contestants” with a subrule named “Time”, and in that subrule, add the following text:

Each Fishing Contestant has a publicly-tracked number named “Hours Spent” that’s between 0 and 12, defaulting to 0. As a Weekly Action, a Fishing Contestant may change their Hours Spent.

You should be able to specifiy how many hours in a game day you want to spend fishing. I have an idea that time spent fishing should affect what you might catch, where longer time means a chance at a much better or much worse catch.

Just as a reminder, in the previous dynasty, we added “A range of numerical values stated to be “between” one value and another value is treated as an inclusive range unless otherwise explicitly stated.” to the Appendix for Numbers and Variables, so it’s no longer necessary to explicitly state that a numerical range is inclusive.

imperial  I think I’d need more context to know whether I’d want this or not.

If you have it for a whole week and it works as described in the comment, I could see it easily just regressing to the mean so you’d have more complexity to the rules for not much difference.

Yeah, this might have come too early to have any use. The Zendo idea seems to be gaining momentum, so I might just withdraw this one if I can’t fit it in to the overall scheme.

I was gonna say I can’t put hours per day into the game against

Given the lack of enthusiasm for this and the fact that it doesn’t fit well with where the dynasty is going, I’m going to withdraw it.
