Proposal: Back and Forth
Reaches quorum/times out, 4-0. Enacted by pokes.

If The Trading Post has not been enacted, this proposal has no effect.
Replace the text of “Locations” with the following:
Each Adventurer has a location tracked in the GNDT, which is either “Town” (the default) or “The Wilds”.
Adventurers can post a Travel Plan (TP) at any point by creating a blog comment on the most recent Respawn post describing a valid Location they wish to travel to.
An Adventurer can act on a TP that they have posted by changing their Location to the Location specified in that TP. They can only do so if:
* it is their most recent TP before the most recent Respawn, and
* they have not acted on a TP since the most recent Respawn.Dynastic actions contingent on Location cannot be taken by an Adventurer if they can act on a TP.
Per pokes’ comment on “The Trading Post”, this would add usage to Locations. This also requires destinations to be announced in advance, which I think adds a bit of interest. Now, you would have to watch how much time you spend in Town in case a rare monster shows up in the Wilds.
Comments
Zaphod:
Could an Adventurer simply make sure their TP right before a Respawn is the opposite of where they are? Then, they could still be in either the Wilds or Town by staying put or switching.

If I understand this it might be functionally equivalent to setting each Adventurer’s movement points to 1 on a respawn, and Adventurers can spend one movement point to change locations
Trigon:
[Zaphod] Not necessarily. The final sentence, if I have written it correctly, ensures that Adventurers can only perform actions contingent on Location if they’ve moved where they say they’re going to or haven’t said they will move.
[pokes] Pretty much, but see the stipulation described in the previous paragraph.

derrick: he/him
This works better with the new locations rule.
