As one Truck has a Performance of at least 8, the dynasty is in a state of Last Call. Given that the dynasty is a state of last Call and there is only one Truck that has a higher Performance than any other Truck, and I am that Truck, I have achieved Victory.

The Drifter is already waiting at Clucky’s Chicken Hut Of Chicken when it opens.

Clucky takes $10 plus a $3 tip, and a $3 drinks sale.

The Deep Sea Diver clunks their heavy bag of gear outside Melody’s Dine and Wine and considers the Beef Salad with Red Wine.

The game has now entered the Serve Phase.

Set the Operating Status of Arthexis to Dark.

Add a subrule to “Trading Day” called “Delayed Shutdown Action”:-

If the Current Day is Monday or Tuesday, then on the instruction of the Truck named Arthexis, the Yard may - once - either add a non-Temporary Fitting to that Truck, or increase the Trendiness of an Ingredient by 2. Upon doing so, the Yard should also repeal this rule.

Set the Status of the creator of this Proposal to Closed in Five Minutes.

One truck has set a menu and one truck has closed, since the previous slate reminder.

We’re still waiting for a menu or closure from Arthexis.

Replace the section of Rule ‘Performance’ that reads

a Performance of at least 10

with the text

a Performance of at least 8

To the end of “Reminders”, add a paragraph:-

Players are generally expected to take their Prep actions within X hours of the Prep phase starting.

For each EVC which included a single string of “Within Y Hours” (with any capitalisation, and where Y is any number above 1), take the median value (rounding down) of those Y numbers and replace X with it in the text added above.

In “Performance”, replace “Generate a sorted list of Trucks with 0 Loans, from most Dollars at the top to least Dollars at the bottom, known as the Valuation List.” with:-

Generate a sorted list of Trucks with 0 Loans, from most Dollars at the top to least Dollars at the bottom (with ties broken by highest Pitch position), known as the Valuation List.

Two trucks have set a menu since the previous slate reminder.

We’re still waiting for menus or closure from Arthexis, Chiiika and Darknight.

At the end of the Sub-rule Reminders, add this:

If it has been 36 hours since the Night action was last performed, and greater than half of all Trucks are either Closed or both Open and Ready, the Yard may and should as a Prep Daily Action called Late Penalties subtract 2 Dollars from all Trucks who are Open but not Ready, or instead 1 dollars if there is a proposal with the [Today] tag and a status of Pending.

Six trucks have now set a menu since the Prep phase started.

We’re still waiting for menus or closure from Arthexis, Chiiika, Darknight, Lawnomos and Vovix.

Adds two Imperial Styles under the option “Attitude to Scams”

- Scam-Gradual (Scam-Averse for the first week, then Scam-Mundane afterwards)
- No-Scam-until-Victory (Scam-Averse until there is a way for players to achieve victory, then Scam-Mundane afterwards)

Fail this Proposal.

If the proposal “Counting the Days to Cook-Off” failed, repeal the rule “The Final Cook-Off”.

Add a new subrule called “Secondhand Fittings” to the rule “Fittings” with the following text:

Any Truck that has a Performance of zero may add up to one Fitting during the Prep Phase without Closing. A Truck may not repeat this action on consecutive Trading Days.

If at least a quorum of Trucks have voted FOR on this Proposal, in the rule “Performance” replace “a Performance of at least 10” with “a Performance of at least 5”. Otherwise, this Proposal has no effect.

In the rule “The Final Cook-Off”, add the following text as a new paragraph:

The Prep for The Final Cook-Off commences on September 2 2025 00:00 UTC.

If the EVC of a quorum of Trucks contain the text “hurry up”, then in the rule “The Final Cook-Off”, replace “September 2” with “August 31”.

After a long Sunday, the game has entered the Serve phase.

We’re almost ready for another Night and a round of Sales. Rather than continuing to iterate through more Proposals on if and when The Final Cook-Off happens, I think we should let the current ones get resolved and then let this next Night play out. We can see where things stand after that.

Otherwise we’re going to continue to have battling Proposals about The Final Cook-Off and most likely cross paths with results from the next Night, and people might feel differently afterwards.

That’s just my two cents, and to be perfectly clear, I’m not trying to bully anyone. I’m only making a mild suggestion that we wait and see what happens next.

Replace the word “vote” with “ballot”, and “votes” with “ballots”, in the rule “The Final Cook-Off”.

Three trucks have set their Menu since yesterday’s update. No trucks have closed.

Applebane and Trapdoorspyder are not yet Ready.

Reword “If one or more Trucks have a Performance of at least 10, the dynasty is in a state of Last Call, which is publicly tracked. When the dynasty is in Last Call, if there is only one Truck who has a higher Performance than any other Truck, that Truck has achieved victory. ” into

“If one or more Trucks have a Performance of at least 10, the dynasty is in a state of Last Call. If the dynasty is in a state of Last Call and The Prep for The Final Cook-Off has not happened in the dynasty yet; the Yard may begin The Prep for The Final Cook-Off at their earliest convenience and must not move into the Serve Phase.”

After “When The Prep for The Final Cook-Off commences, the three Trucks with the highest performance become the Cook-Off Contestant Trucks. If Trucks are tied at the same performance, the one with the highest Dollars is considered to have a higher performance. Then, each other Truck becomes a Cook-Off Jury Truck.” add

Cook-off Contestant Trucks are tracked publicly and shall be tracked after The Prep for The Final Cook-Off.
