Proposal: Blind Spot

In “The Break-In”, replace “If the Spot at that position in that Agent’s Route has an Extra Spot that is Connected to it” with:-

If the Spot at that position in that Agent’s Route has an Extra Spot (at that position in that Agent’s Route) that is Connected to it

Uphold the Concierge’s attempted performances of the “If the Spot at that position in that Agent’s Route has an Extra Spot” steps in the Break-In Action they undertook on the 10th of May.

Enact a new rule, “Room Service”:-

At any time the Concierge may update the Fame, Infamy and Successes of Agents to the values they would currently have if the most recent Break-In action had instead been processed under the interpretation that “has an Extra Spot that is Connected to it” included Extra Spots set by other Agents, and then repeal this rule.

The Concierge may not perform any dynastic actions outside of this rule while this rule exists.

As discussed in comments on What Happened Last Night, the Extra Spot step of Breaking-In is ambiguous. Its presumably-intended reading is that each Extra Spot only applies to the Spot at the same point in the same Agent’s route; I read it more literally and interpreted it as applying to all Spots in that Agent’s route; Clucky points out that if read literally it should actually apply to all Spots in all Agents’ routes.

This amends the Extra Spots step to explicitly reflect its spirit, and reruns the Break-In under the most literal interpretation of it, if my attempt at a literal interpretation was insufficiently so.
