Chain of Deals: Difference between revisions

* Without getting into specifics, players of any kind of [[Collectible Card Game]] (or, indeed, collectible ''anything-that-comes-randomly-blind-packed'' game) have likely committed to a three-or-more-way trade in order to get that [[Last Lousy Point|last card]] for their precious deck/army/complete expansion set.

* Interestingly, electrical power systems are often ''protected'' by a chain-of-deals-like system. In interlocking, you must satisfy certain conditions in order to operate an item of equipment (disconnectors, earth switches, access gates etc.) which involves following prescribed sequences of opening/closing switches to obtain keys to access other sequences to obtain another key that opens the shutter to the hand crank you need to operate the item of equipment you were interested in the first place. For added super-bonus fun, on offshore windfarms certain steps entail ''sailing'' between ''individual turbines'', key clutched in hand. The reason for this intentional complexity is to ensure that all equipment is made safe before anyone gets anywhere near it, and that there is no danger of damaging the main grid.
