Trim out the irrelevant parts of the previous proposal attempt
Line 1: Line 1:
''The below text is copied verbatim from the previous attempt. I need to spend the time to trim out stuff that has already been implemented and reword things so they work with the current rules''
Goals for this proposal include:
 
* Add art and  art/arbitrary user auctions
--
* Add horse racing, see if we can make it fun for regular play.
 
* Rework slots a bit. I'd like to see bigger payouts with a lower chance of winning, but similar averages. That way you win less often, but a win feels better than "yay I got 2 fukkin chips look at me"
''This proposal aims to add a number of activities, called Tables, for users to take part in in an official manner in their down time.''
''During this drafting process, comments will be left below in italics, and are not meant to be included in the final proposal.''
 
''But first, some groundwork:''
 
 
Rename rule '''"Auctions"''' to '''"The Auction Casino"'''
 
In rule '''"The Auction Casino"''' add section '''"Participation"''' with the following text:
 
The '''"Participation"''' value of the Auction Casino is given by one of the following criteria, whichever is higher:
 
* 10
* 2 for every 3 players
* 2 of every player who bid in the previous auction for card lots
 
 
In rule '''"The Auction Casino"''' section '''"Lots''', amend the following text:
 
"Each lot consists of three cards. Each auction has the higher option of:
 
* Ten lots
* 2 lots for every 3 players
* 2 lots for every player who bid in the previous auction"
 
To:
 
"Each Auction in the Auction House has a number of House Lots in addition to any Player Lots that contain 3 cards each equal to the Participation value of the Auction Casino at the time the Lots are generated."
 
And the text:
 
"During any phase other than the Auction Phase, if there are fewer lots than the number specified above, any player may generate a Lot by generating a set of cards to fulfill that Lot."
 
To:
 
"During any phase other than the Auction Phase, if there are fewer House Lots than the number specified above, any player may generate a House Lot by generating a set of cards to fulfill that Lot."

Add rule '''"Tables"''' with the following text:
In rule '''"Tables"''' amend the following:


There are two types of Tables that players can sit down at, Limited Access Tables and Limitless Access Tables. A player may not be sitting at multiple Tables at the same time. Unless otherwise specified, a player may only sit down at a Limited Access Table at most 1 time in a given week. A player may sit down at a Limitless Access Table as many times as they like. A player may sit down at a Table by announcing their intent to do so in the appropriate channel (#tables, unless otherwise specified). A player stands up from a Table when Play at the table ends or when they announce their intent to stand up in the same channel.
''Let's figure out how to be clear about how many tables there are. I'm not sure if we did that last time.''




==== Slots ====
In subrule '''"Slots"''', amend the Roll table with the following table:


Slots are a Limited Access Table that a player may sit down at at most 3 times per week.
''Edits to the table should achieve the following goals:''


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. The player then rolls 3 times on the following table:
'' 1. The average winnings after many rolls should be above 0, but still below a reasonable value.''
 
'' 2. The average winnings among all winnings should be fairly high, like triple digits.''
 
''That is to say, the odds of winning at the table should be lower, but the payouts higher.''

Afterwards, the player compares their 3 Values with the chart below and claim their payout, if any. Values of the same kind must be sequential in the rolls to count. If multiple payouts apply at the same time, they gain the effect of the payout higher in the chart. Play at this table ends when the payout is awarded.
and amend the Payouts table with the following table:

==== War ====
==== Off to the Races ====
 
War is a Limitless Access Table that two players must sit down at in order to play.
 
Before the the war begins, both players must agree to the items each of them are wagering.
 
Once both players have agreed to the items they are wagering, both players draw a card. The winner of the War 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 the process 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 stands up from the table before a winner can be determined, both players keep the items they wagered.
''Gosh this is long. We need to add a prize in general here, probably trungs for the winner to start out.''


 
''In general, my conclusion is that players won't play with the "interesting" games unless they are additive to the economy in some way. With that in mind, we should also probably get rid of the 10% house fee.''
==== Off to the Races ====


Off to the Races is a Limitless Access Table that multiple players may sit down at by announcing their intent to do so in #the-raceway.
