Call for Judgment: Clarifying the Collect Cells action

Unpopular, fewer than quorum not voting against, 0-3. Failed by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 30 Sep 2024 14:37:59 UTC

Uphold all changes to the gamestate up through this 19:01 28 September 2024 wiki edit.

Replace the atomic action in the subrule “Collecting Cells” with the following:

* Start with a list of cells, known as the collection list. While the collection list is not empty, repeat the following steps
** Take the first cell from the collection list
** If that cell is a Bonus cell and its Content is Lemon, Orange, Kiwi, Grape, Cherry or Star, increase the Puzzler’s corresponding stat for the content of that cell by 1
** If that cell is a Trap cell, decrease the Puzzler’s Matches by 1 (to a minimum of 0), their Multi Match Bonus by 5 (to a minimum of 0) and if its contents are Lemon, Orange, Kiwi, Grape, Cherry or Star, decrease the Puzzler’s corresponding stat for the content of that cell by 1 (to a minimum of 0)
** Make that cell a Plain Cell
** If the contents of that Cell are Bomb, add all non-Empty non-Frozen cells that are adjacent to it, including cells whose Rows and Columns both differ from the selected cell by 1, to the Collection List
** If the contents of that Cell are Snowflake, make the cell a Frozen Cell, and make all plain cells that are not in the collection list and are adjacent to it to be Frozen Cells
** If its contents are Lightning Bolt, make the cell a Trap Cell
** Set the contents of that cell to be empty
** Remove that cell from the collection list

Per the discussion on Discord, making sure the Collect Cells atomic action works as intended, so that Bonus Cells become Plain Cells after being collected. Upholds the current gamestate to make it easier to keep playing before this CfJ resolves (which also incidentally resolves any potential issues raised by Desertfrog’s earlier CfJ).

I’m busy right now so don’t really have time to review JDs wiki edits or what this changes, but I don’t think they’re is actually any problem with the current rules per how the target cell works

Might need to make sure Jonathan properly cleared cells though

@Clucky Jonathan didn’t clear the Bonus Cell in cell 2-2 per his interpretation of the rules. I didn’t see a problem with it sticking around since it doesn’t give anyone an advantage as far as I can see, but we could address that in another CfJ if that’s a sticking point.

against as it upholds an illegal action by JonathanDark not to clear the cell, which I’ve now reverted

this would also prevent collecting Snowflakes, as “. If a Turn Action would change a Frozen Cell’s Content, or if it would “move” the Cell’s Content to another Cell, the action is instead considered illegal.” would trigger given you’re setting it to be frozen before the “Set the contents of that cell to be empty” step.

against Due to the flaws Clucky pointed out

against I don’t see a problem with upholding the illegal action,  but yeah it does break Snowflakes.
