Voltaire and sudgy: I am adjacent to both of you, but I can only give one of you a point via proximity. Would either of you like to pay me some money to get that point? If one offers higher than the other I'll take the better offer; otherwise, I'll just pick randomly between you. (You're not committed to your first offer, so if Voltaire says N$5, and sudgy says N$6, I would let Voltaire come back and say N$7; effectively I'm auctioning off a point.)
As for my proposal, I think I will change florrat's treasure chest rule (355) to have the value be determined and announced when the chest is spawned, rather than when it is opened. Does this sound good?
Draft Proposal 356:
Amend Rule 355 to the following:
Once per turn, the current player may spend 1 IP to spawn a treasure chest in any empty location. He does this by posting Treasure chest at ## where ## is the name of the tile where the treasure chest is spawned. This tile cannot be entered by any unit until the end of the turn. Also, units cannot be created on locations with treasure chests or move to locations with treasure chests on the turn they are created. The previous two sentences overrule any rule allowing for such movement or creation.
When the chest is created, the current player rolls 1d200. When a unit enters a location with a chest, the result is added to the player owning that unit's amount of Nomic dollars.
