Round 10/Proposal Ideas/The Auction Casino Part II

In rule '"Phases", replace the text "The Bartering Phase" with "The Resolution Phase".

In rule "The Auction Casino" subrule "Prizes", replace the text "the Bartering Phase" with "the Resolution Phase".

In rule "The Auction Casino", replace subrule "Lots" with subrule "The Auction House" containing the following text:

There is an entity called the Auction House, also known as the House. The House can own items and holds the weekly Auction. The weekly Auction can hold a number of House Lots and a number of Player Lots. Lots can be bid on by players. If a player wins a bid on a lot, the House gives the items in that Lot to the winning player. If there is ever a Lot that does not contain any items, that Lot is removed from the Auction House.

A House Lot is a Lot that can contain 3 cards. If, at any time during the Resolution Phase, the number of House Lots currently in the weekly Auction is less than the Participation value of the Auction Casino, any player may generate a new House Lot by generating 3 cards to fulfill that lot.

Player Lots are Lots that can be created in the Auction House by a player. During the Resolution Phase a player may create a Player Lot in the Auction House by giving one or more of their items to the House and designating that they belong in a Player Lot. Items in Player Lots are considered to still be owned by the player that created that Lot for the purposes of wealth calculations. A player may retrieve the items from one of the Player Lots they created during the Resolution Phase, so long as there are no Secret Bid Actions awaiting their revelation date. If a Player Lot is won at the Auction House, then a number of chips equal to the value of the winning bid is transferred from the player that placed the winning bid to the player that created the Player Lot.

In rule "The Auction Casino", add section "Bidding on Works of Art" with the following text:

During the Resolution Phase, so long as there is still at least one Secret Bid Action awaiting its revelation date, any player may generate the bid of a Third-Party Auctioneer on a given Lot containing a Work of Art. The bid of the auctioneer must be generated as a random integer between 75% of the Value of the Work of Art and 150% of the Value of the Work of Art.

If a bid for a Work of Art is won by a player and the Value of that Work of Art is less than the winning bid amount, then the Value of that Work of Art is increased to match the winning bid amount. If a Third-Party Auctioneer wins the bid on a Lot containing a Work of Art, then the Work of Art is removed from its Lot and gets placed in the Gallery.

In rule "Tables" amend the following:

''Let's figure out how to be clear about how many tables there are. I'm not sure if we did that last time.''

In rule "Tables" add the following subrule:

The Studio
The Studio is a Limited Access Table that a player may sit down at once per week by announcing their intent to do so in #the-studio.

Works of art have the following attributes: A Title, a Description, and a Value.

While sitting at the Studio Table, a player may spend 50 chips to create a single Work of Art in their possession. To create a Work of Art, the player must post a message to #the-studio, providing a Title for the Work of Art no more than 30 characters in length and a Description of the Work of Art no more than 400 characters in length. A player's attempt at creating a Work of Art fails if they do not have at least 50 chips to lose.

The initial Value of a Work of Art is determined by generating an integer between 1 and the Participation Value of the Auction Casino when the Work of Art is created, then multiplying by 4.

In subrule "Slots" amend the following sentence:

"Values of the same kind must be sequential in the rolls to count."

with:

"Values of the same kind do not need to be sequential."

In subrule "Slots" amend the Roll table with the following table:

Edits to the table should achieve the following goals:

 1. The average winnings after many rolls should be above 0, but still below a reasonable value.

 2. The average winnings among all winnings should be fairly high, like triple digits.

That is to say, the odds of winning at the table should be lower, but the payouts higher.

and amend the Payouts table with the following table:
