Reword the rule “Mansion Map” from:-
The Mansion Map is a graphical represention of Rooms that the Explorers have discovered and their connections to each other. It will be maintained and made available by the Narrator in a separate page of the Wiki, linked from Banewood Mansion. No one may edit the Mansion Map except for the Narrator.
To:-
[[File:MansionMap.jpg|frameless|right]]
The Mansion Map, displayed as an image in this rule, is a graphical represention of the Rooms that the Explorers have discovered and those Rooms’ Connections. All of the Rooms’ Connections are tracked in this Map.
Directions are North, South, East, West, Down and Up. North, South, East and West are the horizontal directions. Up and Down are vertical directions. North is the opposite of South, East is the opposite of West and Up is the opposite of Down.
Each Room may have Connections to other Rooms (each such Connection having a Direction), but may not have more than one Connection in the same Direction. If one Room has a Connection to another, then the second room automatically has a Connection back to the first in the opposite Direction, unless otherwise stated.
Remove “They should update the Mansion Map whenever they do so.” from Rooms.
Remove the “Optionally, Rooms accessible in any cardinal direction or custom Exit Direction from this room” bullet from “Rooms”.
In “Explorer Actions”, remove the paragraph beginning “Where Planned Actions are concerned, the valid directions are North, South…”
If any Connections existed in the Mansion Map immediately prior to this proposal’s enactment which are not tracked in the image at File:MansionMap.jpg and which would be legal under the amended rule, track those Connections in that image.
Bolstering the definition of Connections (so that they exist outside of actions, are automatically two-way, and multiple same-direction exits can’t ever exist within a given room), and embedding the map in the ruleset to reduce the number of tabs that we need to open to see what’s what.
Also removing the redundant “no one may edit”: the image is gamestate, so can already only be edited when rules allow it (and if a proposal or CfJ were to amend it for some reason, that shouldn’t require the Narrator’s pen).
SingularByte: he/him
Am I right in thinking that if a room has additional non-directional connections, they might be handled as something like a malfeasance-based secret passage given that you’re removing the ability to have them just exist normally?
