How do I take my turn?

Answered counted as answered

Asked with: Ca$h 'n Guns: Second Editionbg-155362-en-1e

Each turn is divided into 7 steps:[1]

1. Loot: At the beginning of each turn, the Godfather flips 8 Loot cards face-up and ensures the New Godfather token is showing its desk available side.[1]

2. Choice of the Bullet card: Each player secretly chooses a Bullet card (either a Click or a Bang!) and places it face-down in front of them.[1]

3. Hold-Up: The Godfather counts to three, and on three, each player must hold another player at gunpoint by aiming their foam gun.[1] The Godfather may then order a player to change their target.[1] The Godfather counts to three again, and each player chooses to either lay down their Character or leave their Character standing and shout: "Banzai!!!".[1] A player who lays down discards their Bullet card face-down and will not participate in loot sharing, but is guaranteed not to be wounded.[1] A player who stays standing risks being wounded for the chance to get loot shares.[1] If a target has laid down, the player must discard their Bullet card face-down.[1] Players then reveal their cards and apply effects: a "Click" results in nothing happening, while a "Bang!" wounds the targeted player, causing them to take one Wound and lay their Character down, which prevents them from participating in loot sharing that turn.[1]

4. Godfather's Privilege.[1]

5. Courage.[1]

6. [No information provided for steps 6 and 7].[1]

7. Loot sharing: Starting with the Godfather and moving clockwise, each player whose Character is still standing (not freshly wounded or laid down) takes a share of the loot, such as a card or the New Godfather token.[2] If the Godfather is wounded or has laid down, the process starts with the closest standing player going clockwise.[2] The split ends when everything has been taken, and it is possible to go around the table multiple times.[2] Instead of taking a card, a player may flip the New Godfather token to get the desk and become the Godfather on the next turn.[2]

retrieval — what the passage search returned

what this block IS: the PASSAGE SEARCH's own results — the same search that fills this page's closest-passages list — and NOT the passages the answerer read. Answering runs its OWN retrieval: a far wider candidate pool, re-ranked down to a final handful, plus floors this search never applies — the base rulebook, surviving errata corrections, and one slot per book on a multi-book read. Each of those armed only if THIS ask sent what it needs: the boost block names the ids it forwarded, and the scope line names the books it read. A document the answer CITES that no row here names is therefore EXPECTED, not a defect: two searches, two candidate pools, two orders. The answerer's own final rows are shown in their own block below, beside these and never mixed into them.

score = the fused retrieval score (reciprocal-rank fusion over the search arms) — NOT a cosine similarity. This ruling ran the THREE-ARM fuse (full-text + vector + the doc-priority boost arm, which carried the base rulebook and/or the errata corrections this query matched), whose arithmetic ceiling is 0.04918 — all three arms ranking the same chunk #1 (ceiling = arms/(k+1) at k=60). The measured healthy band 0.016–0.033 was measured on TWO-arm asks and does not bound this one: its high end is the two-arm ceiling, and a third arm has room above it. A chunk only one arm ranked highly lands near 0.016 (that one arm's #1 vote), so 0.03 here is an excellent hit, not a 3% match.

per-arm ranks (the rank each search arm gave a chunk): NOT DISCLOSED by the gateway. Fusion happens gateway-side and only the FUSED score crosses the wire, so rulesage cannot show them without a gateway change. The rank column below is the FUSED rank (position in the returned list), which is real.

token count per chunk: NOT DISCLOSED — chunk token counts are not reported on the ask path. The character counts below are of the bounded snippet/quote rulesage actually received — a real measurement of what we hold, never an estimate of the chunk.

what the answerer read — the passages it actually had in front of it

what this block IS: the passages the ANSWERING read put in front of the answerer, in the order it read them — the other half of the two reads described above, and the one that decides what the answer could possibly say. Each row names the book it came from and where in that book it sits, what it scored when the search arms were fused, which arm carried it there, and whether the re-ranker chose it or a floor guaranteed it a slot. A row here that no passage-search row names is EXPECTED: a far wider pool, re-ranked, with floors the passage search never applies.

candidate pool: the answering read scored 6 passages, out of a ceiling of 80 set gateway-side. Both figures are reported by the gateway for THIS ask — measurements of what actually happened, not constants read out of anyone's source and printed here on faith.

floors armed for this ask: the base rulebook — armed · surviving errata corrections — not armed · one slot per book on a multi-book read — not armed. Every floor is stated on every ask, armed or not, so a floor that did not apply here is never mistaken for one this app does not know about.

arms fused for this ask: vector + full-text + the doc-priority boost arm. Stated separately from the rows because an arm that ran and carried nothing is a different fact from an arm that never ran.

watchdog: first-token watchdog: 30s per arming window (rulesage.table.first-token-watchdog-seconds), re-armed once by the passages frame — so the worst case before a reader falls back to polling is 60s. Whether it actually fired is a BROWSER-side decision that never reaches the server, so it is not recorded here. The stream path above is the server's half of that story: whether a delta was emitted at all.
num_ctx · think posture: both are the CHILD's settings, not rulesage's, and no ask reply carries them — an answer never states which context window or think posture produced it. The live-seat line above reads them from the running child instead, where the gateway can answer for itself; it describes the child NOW, not this ask.

abstain rationale (n/a — this ruling answered): answered — no abstain rationale applies

setup-shape — why the checklist band did or didn't render

decision: NOT_SETUP_SHAPED — no setup-shape pattern matched this question

errata registry — what the gate above had to match against

this game registers NO errata cards (edition 898), so "no registered errata card matched" above could never have matched one

Errata scope: the gate above matched this ruling's own edition only. When an ask also reads an expansion, that expansion's own registered errata cards stay outside the match — a stated phase-1 limitation, not a failed lookup.
