Here's a proto-proposal I came up with somewhat on the spot. Opinions
welcome.
Title: The Deck

Enact a power-1 rule entitled "The Deck" with the following text:
The Deck is an entity. The Deck CAN own Cards, but no other types of
assets.
If the Deck owns at least one Card, any player CAN pay 10 coins to
Draw a Card. When a player does so, the Dealor CAN by announcement,
and SHALL in a timely fashion, transfer a Card from the Deck to the
player who Drew a Card. The Dealor SHALL make the choice of which
card to transfer randomly, with the probability of each type of Card
being exactly proportional to the number of that Card that the Deck
owns. Failure to use random chance in this transfer is the Class-2
Crime of Stacking the Deck.
It seems ambiguous whether the probability of drawing a Justice card
is proportional to the number of Justice Cards, or the probability of
drawing *each* justice card is. (I'm pretty sure the former is what's
intended.)
I think changing "make the choice of which card" to "make the choice
of which type of card" would fix the ambiguity.
(Example: if the Deck owns a. Justice, b. Justice, c. Victory, then we
don't want to say the distribution is 2/5, 2/5, 1/5.)
The Dealor's includes the card ownership of the Deck.
a word
(Also, the Treasuror already would need to report this. Does it help
to have two officers reporting it?)
- Falsifian
What I wondered about regarding the Treasuror reporting is whether we
should just split all of the cards into the Dealor's report.
I definitely don't want two officers to have to track the same thing. It
might work best to just have the Dealor track all cards like P.S.S. is
saying here.
