Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Upstairs, Downstairs:

Each Ant or Creature is either Underground or Above Ground. This is tracked in the GNDT under the column entitled “Location”. New Ants start underground.

An Ant may change their Location as a daily action, but not more than three times in any seven-day period. A Creature may not have its location changed unless such a change is specifically mandated by another rule.

If Proposal: Time for a cold one! passed, replace the rule entitled Food with the text below. Otherwise, add the following rule to the ruleset as a new rule, entitled Food:

Each ant and creature has an amount of food which is tracked in the GNDT and which, unless otherwise specified, may not exceed 5. Provided that they are underground, an ant may at any time subtract a positive integer from their food and add that same interger to the queen’s food. The queen has no limit to the amount of food she can have.

If there exists a rule entitled Carrying, change the last paragraph of it to read as follows:

As a daily action, an Ant who is Above Ground and who is not carrying an object may start carrying an object by updating their GNDT field to this effect. If no other Ant has started to carry an object within the three days immediately preceding this, the Ant must expend one food to perform this action but may chose to start carrying their choice of a Leaf, Twig, Sugar or Crumb. If another Ant has started to carry an object within the preceding three days, the Ant performing the action may chose to expend one food to and start to carry their choice of a Leaf, Twig, Sugar or Crumb. If they cannot or chose not to expend one food then they must follow the ant in front of them and pick up the same object that that Ant picked up.
