If Proposal: Indepegnence is enacted then this proposal has no effect.
Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Gambling:
Each Game has a value called Juice. At any given time, a Game’s Juice is 4 minus the current stakes of the table.
Once per Game, as a communal action, a Player who is not a participant of that Game may make a comment to that Game’s Table declaring themselves to be that Game’s Bookmaker.
Once per Game, any Player who is not a participant of that Game or its Bookmaker may make a Bet on it. Making a Bet is an action that is carried out by making a comment to that Game’s Table, which names a single Player who is a participant in the game, and which identifies the Juice at the time at which the Bet was made.
After a Game has ended, if any Bets were made on it, the following may occur:
* Any Player who made a Bet which named the Player that was the Campione of that Game may increase their Pegs by the Juice identified in their Bet.
* Once per finished Game, as a communal action, any Player may reduce the Pegs of all Players who made a Bet which named the Player who was not the Campione of that Game by the Juice identified in their respective Bets.
* Once per finished Game, as a communal action, any Player may increase or reduce (as appropriate) the Pegs of the Bookmaker for that game by x, where x is the number of Bets placed that named the Player who was not the Campione in that game minus the number of Bets that named the Player that was the Campione in that game.
In the rule The Magistrelli System, change “Every time a Player gains a peg they gain 1 Magistrelli” to “Every time a Player gains a peg for being the Campione of a Game they gain 1 Magistrelli”.
This whole proposal would have been easier to word if there was some intrinsic property in the ruleset that made Giolitti tables distinct from each other
Pass-agg sniping about trash vetoes aside - this does bring pegs a bit more into in the game but also divorces them from straight wins and losses, which I hope makes them more utile as a game mechanic.
responses noted, this seems interesting!

I still have with a problem the fundament concept of “let’s start a casino! Josh, you just walked in, so you have 35 chips, and lemonfanta, you also just walked in, so you get 30.” When the average pegs-per-player are above the default starting value, it remains very unlikely that a new or unidling player can catch up.
