Proposal: Can You Smell Napalm?

Times out 4-4 and fails. -scshunt

To the subrule “Naming Machines”, add:-

The word “Victory” may not be chosen as part of the name of a Machine.

Set the Victory Machine to “Shrouded” and remove the “Achieving Victory” effect from the subrule “Operations”.

Maybe we shouldn’t even go there.

against I don’t see what’s wrong with it. It clearly doesn’t let you win…

against because if someone figured out a loophole and wins with it, that seems perfectly reasonable.

Also I could see this machine playing a part in the actual victory condition.

[scshunt] I’m ambivalent about the loophole possibility, but a recognised victory condition involving a Victory Machine seems a bit redundant thematically.

Kevan: I almost think it would be appropriate to have the Victory machine be involved; perhaps the last to activate Achieving Victory before all machines are fixed or something.
