Proposal: Scoring rule numbers
(co-authors = Mischief, Trigon)
Amend Rule 2713 (Scoring Numbers) by inserting this text before the
paragraph beginning "Whenever a player scores a number":
Whenever a rule is created by a proposal and subsequently assigned
a rule number, or a rule with a rule number is repealed by a
proposal, the Assessor SHALL randomly select one player who voted
FOR that proposal to score its rule number, unless 12 or more rule
numbers were scored earlier in the same week.
I love this concept, but is there a reason the Assessor is the one to
make the random determination? With the proposal numbers, the Numerator
decides.
There's an extra lookup involved, but as it's just a matter of searching
through the Assessor's message for that proposal, it's not a big deal
either way.
This text could also be made simpler by doing so since you could
probably just add to the parenthetical in the third paragraph:
Whenever a player scores a number as described in this rule, the
Numerator CAN once, and SHALL in a timely fashion, grant that
player (and, if the number was scored due to the adoption of a
proposal, also a randomly chosen other player who voted FOR on a
referendum to adopt that proposal) a number card for each digit in
that number, whose type is that digit.
Wouldn't that double up on scoring the proposal number, rather than
scoring the rule number?
