Proposal: Clean-up always goes to the graveyard shift…

Popular, 3-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

In the rule “Harvest Moon,” replace “Full” in the last bullet point with “New”

In the rule “Deathrattles,” replace all instances of “expect” with “except”

Remove the Card “Dimension Door” from the table of Cards in subrule “Cards” of the rule “The Horde.” For any Necromancer that has one or more Dimension Door cards in their Menagerie, remove those cards, then add an amount of Skeleton cards to their Menagerie equal to the number of cards thus removed.

In the Description of the Card “Dimensional Blast,” replace “For all Necromancers with the same Dimension as the Necromancer who played this Card” with “For each other Necromancer”

In subrule “The Hourglass” of the rule “Death,” remove the step that reads: “For each Necromancer, perform any Hourglass Action that applies to that Necromancer.”

Fixing a couple typos and removing some extraneous junk that’s not doing anything.

Edit: on second look, I’m glad Dimensional Blast hasn’t come up yet. As written now, it would set yourself as a target, causing you to both win an lose to yourself, losing you a guaranteed 2 Cheese. (Not that anyone has any atm.)

” that may be negative ” was just added to glyphs and is needed to let people actually get sub 0 lifeforce

not sure what removing dimension door would do to anyone who has a copy of dimension door. could be a problem

“That may be negative” isn’t necessary, since Lifeforce is already defined as being an integer.

The second point I’m not sure about. Remove it and give them a consolation prize, I guess?

If a set of valid values is not specified in their definition, game variables defined to hold numeric values can hold only non-negative integers.

But it is specified. “Each Necromancer has a publicly-tracked integer named Lifeforce…” The Appendix specifically says “non-negative” because “integer” already includes negatives.

Also, I thought Skeleton might be a good replacement. I wanted to match DD’s attack and defense values, but Steal’s too strong and Concentration is a feel-bad replacement, imo

The Dimensional Blast card also still refers to Dimensions because the instructions to remove references to Dimensions didn’t match the phrasing for this particular card’s Effects. Right now, it’s unclear what it should do.

Just need 1 more vote for this to be enacted sooner than the timeout.
