Production Support 2nd attempt #107

Open mlevison opened 3 years ago

@Xiphe I'm finally at the stage we're I'm ready to code this.

The scenario. In round 7 - their product goes live and so by round 8 they could be hit by production support issues.

Round 8 or later production support issues could happen.
There is 50% chance per round. Teams that implemented: BDD and ??? have reduced risk since they should have fewer defects
Production Support issues cost the team 5 points in the round they happen.
Teams that have implemented Sacrifice One Team Member and Pre Allocate capacity - reduce the effect by 2 points in each case
There is no limit on the number of times this happens

Is this best handled as a per round side effect in rounds 8 and higher? Or a gremlin? or Magic?

Xiphe commented 3 years ago

Hm, with the system we have in place now it seems to me as if this is best implemented as yet another hidden score similar to gremlins.

I think this can not be implemented as using the gremlin system because

gremlins can only occur once
I assume a production support issue and gremlins can occur at the same time? Currently there can only be one gremlin per round

We can not implement it as per-round side effect because

The round side effect can not include randomness otherwise the review/log would not be accurate

Ok - in theory this can occur multiple times. If we add another "hidden mechanism" we should design so I could rework at a later date for newly weird and random things.

You mean building it so that it can be re-used for future ideas?

I'd strongly advise to not predict the future and don't build stuff for ideas you haven't had yet.

Let me know when you'd like to talk about this or if I should implement s.th.

It's funny - I'm normally the one giving people that advice. Let's just stick to the plan and make it a hidden effect score similar to gremlins.
