Proposal: Burning off alcohol

Passes 3-2 -Darth

Add the following paragraph to the end of rule 2.2 “Drunkenness”:

As a weekly action, an Earthling can reduce their AC by 2, as long as their AC is 2 or more.

At the moment, Humans have a huge advantage over Robots: Humans can control their AC via using Wine, Robots can’t. This would add a distinction between Humans (who get very fine control over their AC with things like bottles of wine, and thus can switch between drunk and sober pretty much at will using this rule) and Robots (for whom this action is pretty much a point of no return, because their AC reduces every week and they have no way to improve it by more than 1 point per week, and thus have very little control over their AC because they’d be locked into inebriation after doing this twice).

against .  I don’t see this making things any easier on Robots, but I do see it being abused by Organisms.

@Bucky: it makes it theoretically possible for Robots to win without having to live through a three-week timeout.
