Proposal: All Fished Out

Withdrawn. Failed by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 30 Jul 2024 05:18:22 UTC

In the rule “Fishing Contestant” add the following text:

As a Daily Action, a Fishing Contestant may perform the Collect Catches action. When performed, the instructions for the Collect Catches action are the ones listed with the first matching criteria for that Fishing Contestant and the Cell containing their name, in the order listed below:
1) If that Cell is a Judge’s Hut, they gain no Catches
2) If that Cell is a Shore or a Cell that had their name for their most recent performance of Collect Catches before this instance, they gain 1 Catch
3) If that Cell is an Ocean, they gain 2DICE4 Catches
4) If that Cell is a Basalt Obelisk, they gain 3DICE4 Catches
5) If none of the above apply, they gain 2DICE2 Catches

How many Catches you get depends on where you are in the grid and how long you’ve been there

If you go to, say, A2 and catch, then A3 and catch, then back to A2 and catch again, how many fish would you expect to get for that last one? By the strictest reading it would be 1, but I’m guessing you’re intending it to be 2DICE4?

I get what you’re saying. I’ll change it to “most recent” instead of “previous”

I’m considering a blended version of our proposals.

Random catches do feel like they’ll have some value, but I’m not so keen on the idea that people can just camp between two obelisks since they’re only a single move away from each other - especially given that every single player in the game right now can get there in a single move right now.

Having random places you need to get to would instead force you to pick between burning up a lot of energy in one go, or going for the more reliable ocean fishing.

I’m ok with blending those ideas. You’re probably right that the “good spots” other than the Ocean should be randomized.

Okay, that’s the blended version posted. I’ll vote for  here though since there’s no major downside to having obelisk fishing in for the initial version.

against should be a fishing action not a daily action and not a fan of all the dice

CoV against  due to it not being a fishing action. I was intending to exploit that myself for a free set of catches before mine enacts, but since Clucky has spotted it too, it feels iffy to still exploit it.
