The Race grows fiercer, and Snails need every bit of encouragement to push toward victory. This Proposal ensures no Snail gets left behind, while revitalizing the competition with new energy and balance.
Amend the gamestate as follows:
- Boost for Active Snails:
- For Snails already on the Track (excluding Slugs), increase their Position as follows:
- Snails with a Position greater than 50 cm: +2 cm
- Snails with a Position between 10 and 50 cm: +5 cm
- Snails with a Position less than 10 cm: +7 cm
- The Snail with the lowest Position (excluding Slugs) is boosted to a Position of 1 cm ahead of the Slug of Death.
- For Snails already on the Track (excluding Slugs), increase their Position as follows:
Welcome New Competitors:
- Move all Snails currently in the Bucket to the Track with a starting Position of DICE10 + 5 cm.
Shared Motivation:
- Each Snail (excluding Slugs) gains 2 Fame to recognize their renewed effort in the Race.
Rationale:
This Proposal achieves several goals:
- Filling out the mechanics: By adding targeted Position boosts, it creates meaningful progression and competition for every Snail on the Track.
- Fairness: The boost ensures that no active Snail remains hopelessly behind while still respecting the competitive spirit of the Race.
- Engagement: Including Snails in the Bucket gives new players an immediate reason to participate, while the Fame reward makes this boost exciting for all.
And so, the Snails press on with newfound determination, as fresh challengers rise from the Bucket and the slowest racer pulls ahead of the looming shadow of the Slug of Death!
, though I’d vote for a simpler version that just puts you guys in the game.
, for the sake of hopefully increasing the number of active players
Because voting FOR would be unfair.

Also, when you press the ‘post’ button on a new proposal, the timestamp it puts on the proposal is the time you opened the form. It looks like you kept the proposal form open for a while before posting, so when you posted the proposal it was already 12 hours old. Generally it’s a good idea to write the proposal somewhere else and then copy and paste it into the form on the site to keep this from happening. It shouldn’t have any effect on the actual time it takes for your proposal to enact (since as far as the ruleset is concerned the timer starts when you press the ‘post’ button), but it does mess up the timestamps and make things hard to keep track of for the admins.
