Proposal: We skipped step 1

Reached quorum 8 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan, skipping the impossible instruction to replace “Add DICE20 Florins to the Haul” with two different strings.

Add a new rule called “The Plan”

Each Thief has a Plan, which is privately tracked by the City and defaults to Standard. A Thief may change their plan at any time by privately messaging the City what they want their new plan to be

Each Plan has a name, which is flavor text used to reference and track the plan, and an effect. The possible plans are tracked in the table below


{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Name || Effect
|-
| Standard || The city adds 1DICE3 Florins to the haul
|-
| Pocket || You gain 1 Florin
|-
| Cash || If you have at least 2 Florins when the Burglary is run, lose 2 Florins and the city adds 2DICE5 Florins to the haul
|-
| Stuff || If you have at least 3 Florins when the Burglary is run, lose 3 Florins and the city adds an additional Possession to the haul
|}

In “The Haul” replace “Add DICE20 Florins to the Haul” with “Add 1 Florin to the Haul” and “Make a blog post in the Story Post Votable Matter category announcing the contents of the Haul and what each Theif’s plan was; this is known as a Haul post”.

Then add the step “Apply the Effect of each Thief’s plan (with the ‘you’ referring to the Thief whose plan it is)” as the first step of the Burglary and the step “Reset each Thief’s plan to Standard” as the final step of the Burglary.

Do you focus on yourself, get 1 for sure, help out the group and on average give +2 that might or might not come back to you, or go all out and actually put some skin in the game even though you still might be cut out in the end?

“The city add 1DICE3 to the haul” is missing a “Florins”.

And it doesn’t matter yet, but saying “during the Burglary” in reference to an atomic action isn’t 100% clear on at which step in the action I do that. Might benefit from dropping both that phrase and “when the Burglary is run” and just adding a Burglary step somewhere of “apply every Thief’s Plan”.

for More interaction is good, although, I worry about the ruleset getting complicated, and the haul in particular being hard to manage for Kevan.

[4st] I declared an Imperial Style of “Powerhouse” at the start of the dynasty, which is defined as “happy to process frequent, complex game actions and track secret information”. But I or any other Powerhouse Emperor would start vetoing if the complexity became unmanageable.
