Call for Judgment: A Peck Of Pickled Peckers

Timed out and enacted, 4-0. Josh

Set GetPunnedOn’s Pecking Order to 5. Set ais523’s Pecking Order to 6.

GPO’s Pecking Order was not set when they unidled. This makes their race-end gain squiffy.

The official ruleset explicitly clears the pecking order of a snail that unidles (as does the current ruleset, for that matter). I’m not entirely sure why, but assumed it was intentional, and it does seem to work in the rules (making the snail into a Runner).

It was intentional but I can’t remember why either (I wrote that proposal).

Thinking about it, it’s probably to avoid a Pecking Order value that was set in one race being used in another (when it refers to a different list).
