Proposal: Cutting to the chase

Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

Create a new subrule to the rule “Artefacts” called “Void Razor”:

Description: An emptiness in space shaped as a 2 meter long blade.
Location: Norwich
Protocol: None
Effect: This Artefact is Alive. As its behaviour (and upon its carrier Focusing, and its carrier may Focus), it will cause all Individuals whose Location is “Unknown” to gain 4 Flesh Damage, if any exist. If none exist, it will cause a random Individual at its Location (or an Individual of the carrier’s choice at their Location, if carried) to gain 4 Flesh Damage instead.

I think it would be good to push people out of being in Unknown land all day.

It’s not clear how one “uses” the Razor, here.

imperial Note this will also trigger when its carrier Focuses for any other reason.

I’d also question whether punishment is a useful motivator here: a player who returns to the game to find that they’re 4/5ths of the way to “can’t move at all” with no immediate prospect of healing may be unexcited by the prospect of stepping into the game world.

We should probably make more of a song and dance about the recovery of lost Artefacts (maybe having it require a blog post), so that the Unknowners can see what they’re missing.
