Proposal: Get Lamp

Times out 12-0 -Darth

Remove the paragraph of Rule 2.4 (Djinni in a lamp, baby) beginning “If an Adventurer has the same Location as the Djinni, and the Djinni is in the Lamp”.

Reword the Lamp effect in Rule 2.9.1 (Directory of Relics) to:-

When an Adventurer is awarded the Lamp, they automatically free the Djinni from it, if he is inside it. Upon doing so, the Djinni leaves the Lamp, the Adventurer gains 1 Wish (unless they were the last Adventurer to be responsible for the Djinni entering the Lamp) and the Lamp is moved to an undisclosed hiding place.

Making the Lamp work like the other relics, which removes the unclear “same Location” problem.

I only understood you as far as wanting to get something.

If the lamp is moved to an new hiding place right away, when do we get to make wishes?

Epic proposal title. Also, Ornithopter: The lamp is moved, but the Djinni isn’t in it.

The lamp is moved to a hiding place, but the Djinni is no longer inside it (per Rule 2.4), so you can make a wish. It just seemed more thematic to have the lamp disappear somewhere, awaiting the Djinni’s next banishment, than to keep being carried around by the last player to find it.

Something smells scammy…

I would be in favor of having the Lamp be a normal relic (as in you can carry it around) and you have to have it to put the Djinni back. What I would like is for this to apply when the Djinni is in the Lamp, and when he isn’t have the Lamp act normal.

Yeah, you get no notification that you’re nearby the lamp, so that solves that.

No scam to me, the contradicting paragraph is removed.
