RE: [Spoon-business] A New Societal Subgame


I've figured out how to fix it.

{{
To join the Mercantile Society, a player must announce eir intent to join
and transfer one point to Teucer and one point to the Society for each
player who has already joined.
}}

Shall be replaced with

{{
To join the Mercantile Society, a player must announce eir intent to join
and transfer one point to Teucer and one point to the Society for each
player who has already joined. If this would require em to give the Society
more than three points, e instead must give the society three points.
}}

{{
When the majority of members have ten of each resource other than gold, the
players who do have ten of each non-gold resource will each receive from the
Society one point per member with less gold than them who does have ten of
each non-gold resource and one point per member who does not have ten of
each non-gold resource. Each member who does not have ten of each resource
other than gold receives from the society one point per member who also does
not have ten of each resource other than gold and who has less gold than the
member in question.
}}

{{
When the majority of members have ten of each resource other than gold, the
players who do have ten of each non-gold resource will each receive from the
Society one point per member with less gold than them who does have ten of
each non-gold resource and one point per member who does not have ten of
each non-gold resource. Each member who does not have ten of each resource
other than gold receives from the society one point per member who also does
not have ten of each resource other than gold and who has less gold than the
member in question. If this procedure requires that the Society give out
more points than it has, it gives no points to the member to whom it would
otherwise give the least number of points. If it still requires more points,
another member is denied points, and so on until the society has enough
points to give them to the players. Any leftover points are kept by the
Society for the purpose of increasing the prize on a future game of
Merchants.
