Cycle 13/Ruleset: Difference between revisions

Orb Share Privileges (singular Orb Share Privilege) are a fungible item.

A player possessing an Orb Share Privilege can destroy it to nominate a player other than themself. When this action is taken, the nominated player gains 15 Orbs.

If an Orb Share Privilege is held at the end of a loop, all players other than its owner gain 1 Orb.

Orb Steal Privileges (singular Orb Steal Privilege) are a fungible item.

A player possessing an Orb Steal Privilege can destroy it to nominate a player other than themself. When this action is taken, the nominated player loses 4 Orbs and the player taking this action gains 4 Orbs.

== Time Beans ==

Time beans are a fungible item. Once per phase, each player can grant themselves 1dN time beans, where N is the absolute value of the Loop Instability, or 1, whichever is greater.

 

Any player can spend 5 time beans to increase or decrease the loop instability by 1 by indicating the new instability in #game-actions

 

Changing the loop instability in this way is a crime.

 

For each 1 rolled while generating coins, that player can discover a crime that happened in the previous phase.

Each 6 or greater rolled while generating coins is considered a robbery perpetrated by the player who rolled it.

A robbery is a kind of crime, and each crime can only be discovered once.

 

For a player to discover a crime, that player must respond to the message of that crime noting as such, and they are the investigator of that crime.

On a discovery, the investigator transfers up to 6 coins from the perpetrator to themselves, and grant the investigator the difference between 6 and the amount transferred. If a player becomes an investigator of a crime when they have more than 6 Crime Power, they lose 1 Crime Power.

 

If a crime in a phase goes undiscovered in the next phase, any player can grant the perpetrator 1 crime power by posting to game actions.

Crime power is a non-transferrable ephemeral item. A player's SCRS is the maximum of 1 or N, where N is the amount of crime power that player has.

If a player joins the game, grant that player 6 crime power.

For each 2 rolled while generating coins, that player can predict a robbery that happens in the next phase by specifying the name of the predicted robber in #game-actions.. When a robbery is successfully predicted in this way, grant that player the coins that would have been granted to the robber. If the predicted robber generates coins, and doesn't commit a robbery, grant the robber N coins, where N is their crime power.

Once per phase, each player may destroy N-1 coins in their possession to either destroy 1 crime power in their possession, or grant themselves 1 crime power, where N is the amount of crime power in their possession.

== Beaning ==

Any player (the bean thrower) can spend 3 time beans to "Bean" another player (the beanee). "Beaning" a player in this way is a crime, and prevents the beanee from investigating any crimes committed by the bean thrower, until the end of the next phase. After being beaned, grant the beanee 3 time beans.

Time power is a non-transferable ephemeral item. A player's SCRC is the maximum of 1 or T, where T is the amount of Time Power in their possession. If a player joins the game, grant that player 2 Time Power.

Once per phase, each player may destroy N coins, where N is the absolute value of the Loop Instability, to grant themselves 1 Time Power.

== Criminal Predictions ==

Once per 7 rolled when generating coins, the player who did so may select one other player who they predict will commit a robbery. If they commit a robbery in that phase after the player's prediction, each of the two players gain 1 Crime Power.
