Fweep: Concequences

Fails after 48 hours, with no effect (Josh is idle and cannot have a Foul transferred to him).

This afternoon, Kevan pushed PrinceAnduril onto a propeller panel. He moved PA to the randomly chosen tile - C1 - but failed to then kill him (from the rules: “If the Square contains a Gladiator other than the Victim, then both that Gladiator and the Victim die. Otherwise, the Victim dies.”) Moving him without then killing him constitutes a foul (as Kevan failed to fully “apply the effect of the Trap”).

To quote the entire relevant section of that rule: “If that Square is Empty or contains a Target, then the Victim is moved to it. If the Square contains a Gladiator other than the Victim, then both that Gladiator and the Victim die. Otherwise, the Victim dies.”

The first “if” condition was met (the square was empty), so the “otherwise” wasn’t triggered.

Ah, interesting. I’d always read those as separate clauses.

I agree with Kevan’s interpretation.

[Josh] It wouldn’t really make any sense to say “If the Square is Empty, move to it. Then, if the Square contains another Gladiator…”, because if the Square had a Gladiator in it, it wouldn’t have been Empty.
