The Back Booth¶

Overview¶

Every neighborhood has that one booth in the back. Whoever's sitting in it runs things for the family, and they run a tab while they're there. The Back Booth is king of the hill on Bread: take the booth, hold it as long as you can, and walk off with the tab when you've had enough.

It runs quietly all stream, across every platform we're live on. There's only ever one booth, and only one duck in it.

How the booth works¶

1. Where it is. Each stream the booth sits in one of the businesses on that night's heist board.
2. Take it. When the booth is open, !booth takes it. A small buy-in goes on the tab.
3. The tab. While you hold the booth, the tab keeps growing, as long as you're around (chatting or watching). Step away too long and you walk off with the tab, and the booth opens back up.
4. Challenges. Anyone can try to take the booth from you with !booth <amount>. One roll decides it. If you hold on, their Bread goes on your tab. If they win, they slide into the booth, keep their Bread, and you walk away with half the tab. The other half stays for the new holder.
5. Lay low. !laylow steps out of the booth and banks the whole tab. Being challenged never traps you.

The longer someone sits in the booth, the easier they are to knock out of it, so nobody camps on it all night. Challenges come one at a time, with a short breather between them.

The booth and the rest of the neighborhood¶

• A heist on the booth's business. A crew that gets away cleans out part of the tab on the way out. A crew that gets caught pays the holder a little protection money, onto the tab.
• Protected businesses. If the booth is in a business that's secretly under Duckuza protection, the tab is safe from heists there.
• Duckatraz. If the holder gets booked into Duckatraz, they lose the booth and the guards find the tab. It goes straight into the Stash. Ducks inside Duckatraz can't take the booth.
• End of stream. Whoever's in the booth when the stream ends banks the tab.

Commands¶

!booth¶

Takes the booth when it's open. If someone's already in it, a bare !booth challenges them with the smallest amount.

Example:¶

!booth

!booth <amount>¶

Challenges whoever's in the booth for that much Bread. One roll: lose and your Bread goes on their tab, win and the booth is yours.

Example:¶

!booth 50
!booth all

!laylow¶

Steps out of the booth and banks the whole tab. After laying low you have to wait a few minutes before you can take the booth again.

!booth me¶

Your Back Booth record: how many times you've held it, your longest hold, challenges you've bounced, your biggest tab, and how much you've banked.

Example:¶

!booth me
