Dividend Claim Default / 盈余认领默认

Dividend Claim Default is the event that fires or becomes armed when a successful broadcast creates surplus and the producer lets another claimant define that surplus first.

It prevents victories from becoming invisible reward pools. If the player does not allocate audience trust, sponsor uplift, lawful goodwill, fan oxygen surplus, edit-lane credit, staff morale, schedule slack, archive compliance credit, or route-asset momentum, the surplus is captured by the faction with the strongest default claim.

Fire or arm condition

Fire or arm this event when all of the following are true:

entry_state:
  dividend_ledger_exists: true
  source_success_relief_kept_true: true
  dividend_pool_spendable_or_recently_spendable: true
  allocation_missing_or_invalid: true
  default_claimant_known: true
  future_route_or_asset_effect_possible: true
  no_fixed_turn_trigger: true

Invalid triggers:

• fixed turn number;
• chapter quota;
• content-count milestone;
• lens-health state;
• generic after victory flavor without a pool and claimant.

Default claimant families

The event should choose a concrete default claimant based on current rows:

• sponsor captures surplus as clean uplift, naming leverage, budget discipline, or stop-loss relief;
• inspector/archive captures surplus as compliance goodwill, lawful-only buffer, or quarantine leverage;
• fan public captures surplus as owed oxygen, public receipt, or witness expectation;
• editor/black-box captures surplus as edit-lane priority or checksum custody;
• artist/proxy/staff captures surplus as recovery debt, protection demand, or refusal route;
• producer reserve captures surplus by hoarding, creating suspicion and future default risk;
• pirate relay captures surplus as unauthorized public momentum.

A claimant cannot be unnamed ambient pressure.

Branch outcomes

Sponsor capture

The successful broadcast is rewritten as proof that sponsor packaging saved the route.

Expected effects:

• sponsor_stop_loss_pressure may decrease;
• contract_capture, public_receipt_distrust, artist_boundary_risk, or clean_ending_capture_risk rises;
• at least one public, artist, or fan route becomes costlier or sponsor-gated.

Inspector/archive capture

The surplus becomes compliance credit that only formal channels can spend.

Expected effects:

• inspection_heat or contempt_risk may decrease;
• bureau_favor_debt, lawful_only_closure, public_receipt_distrust, or quarantine_leverage rises;
• public or pirate follow-up routes become blocked or costly until converted.

Public/fan capture

The surplus becomes an owed public receipt.

Expected effects:

• public_receipt_legitimacy or fan_oxygen_balance may improve;
• sponsor_stop_loss_pressure, inspection_heat, public_audit_required, or witness_exposure rises;
• private clean packaging becomes costlier or hostile.

Editor capture

The cutroom captures the surplus as proof that edit priority produced the win.

Expected effects:

• continuity_hazard may fall;
• edit_debt, source_ambiguity, archive_debt, or public_receipt_distrust rises;
• raw-proof use becomes blocked, split, or editor-only.

Staff/proxy capture

The human network captures the surplus as unpaid recovery, cover, payroll, or protection.

Expected effects:

• handler_burden or proxy_exposure may soften if acknowledged;
• if unacknowledged, proxy_hostility, staffing_capacity_down, witness_exposure, or route_asset_pressure rises;
• future assignment requires recovery pay, protection, or substitute proxy.

Reserve suspicion

The producer holds the surplus and no one believes it is neutral.

Expected effects:

• a reserve token may exist;
• claimant_resentment, future_blackmail_cost, coalition_pressure, or default_capture_timer rises;
• later use of the reserve must name whose claim was denied.

Recovery

Recovery is allowed only by reopening allocation with scar:

• pay the captured claimant and lose flexibility;
• split the dividend into public/formal/sponsor/staff portions with source ambiguity;
• convert the captured resource through legality hearing;
• route the capture into insolvency ledger as a payable promise;
• break a resulting coalition lock;
• accept recovery-only use for the affected route asset.

Non-goals

• Not a punishment for every success.
• Not a random backlash event.
• Not a generic morale scene.
• Not a turn-count pressure event.
• Not valid unless a named dividend pool, default claimant, captured meaning, and future route or asset effect are recorded.
