“While the Earthlink is Unstable, Citizens produce a Doppelganger at their previous location and remove their oldest Doppelganger each time they change Location”

I think that the loose wording of this might be exploitable.

Wording tightened

If I may make a suggestion:

“The first time a Citizen changes location after the Earthlink becomes Unstable, their Doppelganger appears at their former location. Each subsequent time a Citizen changes location, their Doppelganger’s location, is set to their previous Location.”

Also, did you remove the bit about a Citizen being considered to be at their Doppelganger’s location?

I enjoy the trivia that while the setting to the former location can take effect up to X times at once, where X is the number of times Instability has previously occurred, the appearance of the doppleganger only happens once per Instability, and so we’ll never get more than one nor be unsure of its location.

@Zack It’s at the end of paragraph 3.

Thanks, I think they edited it since my last comment, or I just forgot how to read.

What actually is a Doppelgänger, though? The rules don’t have a capacity for NPCs.

Its not an NPC, it’s just a tracked game entity like heat signatures.

I’d rather find more things to do with the mechanics we already have than to add more that don’t yet do anything.

i like adding new rules

i feel like there’s some weird interaction between the doppelganger caring about the citizen’s location & also influencing what counts as their location; but weve got time 2 fix it :0

wait no logistics got repelled no new rules no new rules!
