Proposal: Ancient Power Overload

Timed out, 1-2. Failed by JonathanDark.

Add the following to Ancient Portal’s Effects

Hourglass Action: If you did not use the Planar Portal Ultimate Truth since the most recent Sands of the Hourglass was posted, lose 15 Mana (If you do not have at least 15 mana your location is set to the Tower and the corpses of this location are set to 1)

In the Sands of Time, after the step “For each Necromancer, perform any Hourglass Action that applies to that Necromancer.” add the following step

If no Necromancer has their Location set to the Ancient Portal, and the Ancient Portal has 0 corpses, add 1 corpse to the Ancient Portal

Jamming the portal so no one else can go there should be a fine strategy, but it should cost you

also fixing a bug where the portal never gets its corpse back after someone leaves the portal empty if someone uses it

I’m afraid “Sands of Time” doesn’t mean anything

Since Clucky was kind enough to spend a slot to try to fix my bug, I spent one to fix his: Nothing But Sand

against I think this results in losing 15 mana immediately when you go to the Ancient Portal location: Hourglass actions happen after Travelling, and anyone going to the Portal “did not use the Planar Portal Ultimate Truth since the most recent Sands of the Hourglass was posted” because it can only be used at the portal

I’m also not sure what’s meant with “jamming the portal”

@Desertfrog without this someone could move to the portal and never leave it, preventing anyone else from accessing it

@Clucky how could they prevent anyone? Am I missing something?
