Frome rule 2.4, remove the line:~

A Seller is Inexperienced if they unidled or joined the game within the previous five days; otherwise they are Experienced.

Create a new rule entitled “Experienced Sellers” with the text:~

Each Seller is either Experienced or Inexperienced. This is tracked by a GNDT value known as “Experience”. Sellers become Inexperienced upon joining or unidling, and become Experienced after being active for five days. For every proposal that an Inexperienced Seller is the author of, if and when that proposal passes, the time that seller must be active before becoming Experienced is reduced by one day.

Reduce the time that lilomar must be active before becomeing Experienced by one day.

Didn’t realize that the imperial exception rule was different than I’m used to. See http://blognomic.com/archive/experience_points/ for the s/k’d original.

We may regret reintroducing the gameplay option of “for each friend you persuade to join BlogNomic and type one comment, gain £45” (search your attic, auction whatever you find, ask your friend to join and bid £50 on it).

It’s always going to be tempting to an out-and-out scammer, and with a little more gameplay we’re likely to be in the position where one player is £55 ahead of everyone else - at which point the leader has to decide whether to press the “gain £45” button and win, and the second-placer has to decide whether to press it first.

Not that this is doing much to change it. We should be aware that “for each BlogNomic player you persuade to give up, gain £45” is a thing, though.

against for an automagical GNDT field (if someone neglects to update an Experienced value when that player ticks over to five days, that field is now lying) and the ineffective but-not-Lilomar clause (which is not affecting any gamestate, it’s just trying to write an invisible rule clause, which doesn’t work).
