Round 10/Proposal Ideas: Difference between revisions

''This proposal aims to add a number of activities, called Games, for users to take part in in an official manner in their down time.''

* 2 lots for every player who bid in the previous election "

In rule '''"The Auction Casino"''', add section '''"Art"''' with the following text:

During the Auction Phase, a player may put a Work of Art that they own up for Auction as a Lot in the Auction House. During the Bartering Phase, a player may take down a Work of Art that they own from Auction in the Auction House, removing its Lot. A Work of Art that is up for Auction remains up for Auction until it is taken down by its owner or until the Lot containing the Work of Art is won. If a Lot containing a Work of Art is won at the Auction House, then its value becomes the value of the winning bid and the the player that put it up for Auction gains a number of chips equal to the winning bid on that Lot. If a player placed the winning bid on a Work of Art, then that player becomes the new owner of the Work of Art.

After the Auction Phase, but before the Revelation Date for bids is up, any player may generate the bids of up to 3 Third-Party Auctioneers on a given Lot containing a Work of Art. The bids of the auctioneers must be generated as a random number between the Value of the Work of Art and the Participation value of the Auction House at the time the bids are generated, multiplied by 10.

If a Third-Party Auctioneer wins the bid on a Lot containing a Work of Art, then the Work of Art is no longer owned by any player and the Work of Art is no longer up for Auction.

Add rule '''"Games"''' with the following text:

There are two types of Games that players can participate in, Limited Access Games and Limitless Access Games. Unless otherwise specified, a player may only participate in a Limited Access Game at most 1 time in a given week. A player may participate in a Limitless Access Game as many times as they like, so long as they are not participating in multiple games at the same time. A player may begin participating in a game by announcing their intent to do so in the appropriate channel (#game-actions, unless otherwise specified). A player ceases participating in a game when there is no reasonable action left to take in the game, or when they announce their intent to cease participation in #game-actions.

Slots are a Limited Access Game that a player may participate in at most 3 times per week.

When a player chooses to play the slots, they must put 6 chips in the machine (losing them in the process). A player may not play the slots if they do not have enough chips to do so. Then the player rolls 3 times on the following table:

Participating in The Studio is a Limited Access Game that a player may participate in once per week by announcing their intent to do so in #the-studio.

While participating, a player may enter the studio and create a Work of Art. To create a Work of Art, the player must post a message to #the-studio, providing a Title for the Work of Art no more than 30 characters in length, and the Description of the Work of Art no more than 200 characters in length. The player then looses 50 chips. A player's attempt at creating a Work of Art fails if they do not have at least 50 chips to lose.

War is a Limitless Access game that two players must consent to participate in.

Before the game begins, both players must agree to the items they are wagering.

Once both players have agreed to the items they are wagering, both players draw a card. The winner of the game is the player who drew the card with the highest rank. If the ranks of both cards are the same, then the winner is the player who drew the card with the highest suit. If both suits are the same, then each player draws a new card, and repeats until a winner can be determined.

Once a winner is determined, the items wagered by the losing player are immediately transferred to the winning player. If a player ceases participating in the game before a winner can be determined, then the items they wagered are immediately transferred to the remaining player, and the game ends.

Off to the Races is a Limited Access game that multiple players may begin participating in by announcing their intent to do so in #the-raceway.

After a player begins participating in this game, but before the Race begins, that player may choose to enter a Horse in the race. To do so, the player must select a Name for their horse and two existing card properties, each selected from either the set of available card Traditions, Colors, Suits, or Ranks. A player may not enter a Horse in the race that has the same two properties as another horse.

When all participating players that would like to enter a Horse in the race have done so, ensure that at least 4 horses have been entered in the race. If there are fewer than 4 horses entered in the race, then the remaining number of horses are generated by drawing that many cards. These are NPC horses. NPC horses have a name that is the name of the card drawn for them, and properties equal to the Suit and Rank of the card drawn for them. If an NPC horse has identical properties to a horse already entered in the race, continue drawing cards until a valid horse is entered. Once the above criteria has been met, betting begins.

When betting begins, any player participating in the game may place bets on the horses they think will win. When a player bets, they lose that many chips. A bet fails if the player does not have enough chips to place that bet. The total sum of bets on all horses is known as the prize pool. When all participating players that wish to bet have done so, 10% of the prize pool (rounded down to the nearest whole number) is removed, and the Race begins.

The Length of the Race is equal to the number of horses that have been entered in the Race. A horse wins the Race when they have a Position that is greater than the Length of the Race. The Race ends when one or more horses win the Race. When the race begins, all horses in the Race start with a Position of 0.

To progress the race, perform the following steps in order, and repeat until one or more horses win the race. Any player with a horse in the race may perform any of the following steps, so long as they are performed in the right order.

* Determine all horses in the race that share at least one property with the drawn card, and increase their Position by 1

** Determine all horses in the race that share at least one property with the drawn card, and decrease their Position by 1

After the Race ends, each player that had a winning horse in the race recieves an amount of chips as winnings. If multiple horses won, the prize pool is divided evenly among the winning horses (rounded down). The winnings each horse a player bet on is equal to (P/W)*B, where P is the amount of the prize pool allocated to that horse, W is the total amount wagered on that horse by all players, and B is the amount of chips the player bet on that horse. If a horse wins that was not entered by a participating player, then the winnings for that horse are awarded to nobody.

The game ends after chips are awarded to the winning players, or after all players with horses in the race cease playing. If a player ceases participating in the game before it ends, their horse continues racing, but any winnings that player may have gotten go to nobody.
