Proposal: Arm Un-Extensions

Quorums 8-0. — Quirck

Adminned at 11 Dec 2022 15:51:18 UTC

In the bulleted list in the subrule “Explorers Phase” of “Turns”, replace

Pick up or drop an Item

with

Pick up or drop an Item in the same Room as themselves

and in the same list, replace

Use an Item that was already held at the start of the current Explorers Phase

with

Use an Item that was already held by themselves at the start of the current Explorers Phase

Remove the sentence “Items can also be picked up, dropped, and used at any time during the Explorers Phase” from the rule “Items”.

Why do we all have really long arms?

Good point. While you’re at it cleaning up the Item rules, how about we also replace:

“any Explorer may do any of the following any number of times”

with

“any Explorer may do any of the following any number of times, unless otherwise restricted by another rule”

just to avoid a conflict with rules that might limit an item’s use to a certain number of times or a certain time during the Explorers Phase.

I don’t think you need to worry about people arguing they can use items any number of times even when a rule restricts it. The appendix already says that the smaller scope applies, and equal contradictions would err on the side of stopping an action rather than permitting it.

Thanks for pointing that out. I’m still new enough that I’m not immediately aware of all of the Appendix rules, as there are many. I appreciate the help.
