Re: [s-b] [s-d] Proto: gnomish randomizers

[Craig Daniel <teucer@xxxxxxxxx>]

You know, in hindsight that one was actually just a bad idea, since it
makes the most common gnomes a touch overpowered.

While dancing a paleo-Agoran dance of grateful aggravation, I unsubmit
the proposal "Gnomic Randomizers" and in its place submit the
following proposal, called "Third Time's Hopefully The Charm" with an
AI of 2 and an II of 3:

{
Amend rule 117 (Gnomes) to read:
{
Gnomes are a class of fixed assets. Ownership of Gnomes is restricted
to players. Each Gnomes has exactly one type as defined by the Rules.
Each type of Gnome is a currency.

Primary Gnomes, Secondary Gnomes and National Gnomes are all
sub-classes of Gnomes.

Each Gnome type has a nonnegative integer that is its Chance. When a
random type of Gnome is chosen, each type MUST be selected with
probability equal to its Chance divided by the total Chances of all
Gnome types, unless a rule specifies otherwise. By default, all
Primary Gnomes have a Chance of 30, all Secondary Gnomes have a Chance
of 20, and all National Gnomes have a
Chance of 10.

The Minister of the Garden, also called the Gardener, is an office,
and the recordkeeper of Gnomes. The Gardener CAN, with Bn consent, set
the Chance of a type of Gnome to any legal value.
}

Set the Chance of Earth Gnomes to 35.

Create a rule entitled "Gnome Auctions" with the following text:
{
Suberby's Gnomic Auction House, or Suberby's, is a second-class player
whose basis is all first-class players who own at least one Gnome.
Suberby's can only act as specified in this rule.

Once per week, a Gnome of a random type is created in the possession
of Suberby's Gnomic Auction House.

Pledges to pay Suberby's Gnomic Auction House a specific number of
points for a specific Gnome type are known as Bids. If a player has
continually had the highest bid or been tied for the highest bid for a
certain Gnome type for a period of three days, e CAN cause Suberby's
to transfer one Gnome of the specified type to em.

Failure to pay the amount specified by a Bid upon receipt of Gnomes
from Suberby's constitutes the Class 4 Crime of Not Paying Up. Equity
cases SHOULD NOT be initiated regarding Bids.

Any player CAN, with Bn consent, act on behalf of Suberby's Gnomic
Auction House to cause it to combine two Gnomes in a legal fashion.
}
}
