Proposal: Crunch time

Timed out and failed, 3-1 with 1 unresolved DEF. Josh

Remove row 9 and column I from the Arena map wiki page. If any Gladiator occupies a square on row 9, place them on the same column in row 8. If any Gladiator occupies a square on column I, place them on the same row in column H. If any Gladiator occupies the square I9, then set their status to Resting. If there isn’t one there already place an Acid Pool in squares A8 and H1.

In the rule entitled “The Arena”, change the first paragraph to read as follows:

The Arena is an 8x8 grid of Squares. A Square within the Arena is referred to by a letter from A to H (designating its column) followed by an integer from 1-8(designating its row). The columns, are assigned consecutive letters left-to-right, starting with A. The rows are assigned consecutive numbers bottom-to-top, starting with 1.

The locations of Permanent Acid Pools are defined in Rule 2.3.1, and you aren’t changing this. You’re also creating two new Temporary Acid Pools in A8 and H1 (all Pools default to Temporary unless otherwise specified), and apparently not putting one in H8?

None of which is particularly disastrous - hiding in corners is less of a big deal now that we have Weapons - but I’m not sure I see what we really gain from shrinking the Arena.

We’re currently using around a quarter of the actual map, Doctor29 excepted. Seems like a shame.

“Change of vote”. That should maybe go in the FAQ or the Appendix.

Yeah, took me ages to trawl through to find that out.
