Square Slices of the Pie

Add a new rule named “Graduating” with the following text:

Each Defuser has a publicly tracked number named Low Grade and a publicly tracked number named High Grade. Low Grade and High Grade are publicly tracked in a separate table known as the Graduation Grade where the rows of the table are alphabetically sorted by Defuser name in ascending order.

Each Defuser has a Low Grade equal to 1 plus the High Grade of the Defuser preceding them in the Graduation Grade, (0 if there is not such a Defuser), and a High Grade equal to that Defuser’s current Expertise squared plus the High Grade of the Defuser preceding them.

Graduation is an atomic action with the following steps:

• Roll DICEX, where X equals the High Grade of the Defuser in the last row of the Graduation Grade. The result of this roll is the Graduation Line.
• Select the Defuser from the Graduation Grade where the Graduation Line is between that Defuser’s Low Grade and High Grade inclusive.
• Make a blog post in the “Story Post” category detailing the result of the Graduation Line and the name of the selected Defuser. The selected Defuser has achieved victory.

In the rule “Rounds and Scoring”, replace the first two steps of Ending the Round with the following step:

• If the Round is 4, set the Round to 5, then perform the Graduation atomic action, then skip the remaining steps of Ending the Round.

If the EVC of a Quorum of Defusers on this Proposal contains the word “faster”, in the rule “Rounds and Scoring”, replace the text “If the Round is 4, set the Round to 5” with “If the Round is 3, set the Round to 4”.
