Proposal: Divided we fall

Self-killed. Failed by pokes.

Adminned at 14 Dec 2017 11:48:39 UTC

Replace:

At any time, a Failed Experiment who is not Exposed may increase their Suspicion or Hunger by 1 to increase their Distance by up to 5.

with:

The verb “move” can be used to refer to a change in the value of a Failed Experiment’s Distance.

At any time, a Failed Experiment may increase their Suspicion or Hunger by 1 to move by 1 if they are Exposed, and up to 5 if they are not Exposed.

Add to the Distance rule:

The absolute difference between the Distances of two members of a same group cannot be higher than 2. If this requirement is not met after a Failed Experiment has moved, that Failed Experiment leaves their current group and forms a new group on their own.

Allows players to move in both directions, and forces groups to stay together.

(I just edited this about 5 times because I kept making mistakes in the formulation)

Going to make moving more than 2 at time to be really difficult if you’re in a group, unless you manage to catch another member live on Slack or something, because you’re only going to be able to move in increments of 2 otherwise. Or you just deliberately break the group and then rejoin after moving.

I’d add that you can “carry” a member/members of your group to just make the logistics of group moving easier.

Technically it takes two days to join a group (I did that voluntarily to avoid too many grouping-ungrouping hacks), so grouping and ungrouping wouldn’t be interesting.

I’m going to edit this.

against I’ve got to think this through and I don’t have time to edit this tonight (I think I’ll post something different where groups have a leader and its the leader who decides to move everyone at the same time or something like that)

And if grouping becomes to troublesome to adapt the other rules to we can just repeal the group rule and add that only players close to each other can interact.

OK
