In “The Lines”, replace “Each week as a weekly action, the Gridmaster should, at their earliest convenience, Initialise, which is an atomic action with the following steps:” with:-
Loading a new Stratum is an atomic action with the following steps:
Add a bullet point before the final one in “Running”:-
* If no Cells have a value of Battery, Load a new Stratum
Add a bullet point before the final one in “The Lines”:-
* If no Cells have a value of Battery, set the value of a random Cell to Battery
Remove all the content from the rule “Power” except for the first and last paragraphs of it, and add a bullet point to “Running” after the second:-
* For each Cell whose value is Battery, and whose identification is the Location of one or more Runners: increase by 1 the Power of each such Runner, then set that Cell’s value to “-”
Change the value of Cell H8 to “-”.
Altering the Stratum change from “once per week” to “when all Batteries have been collected”. Removes the temptation to (almost) run the clock out at 48 hours if you want the board to reset before your opponents can take their turns.
Edit: Also making Batteries collectable again, since I didn’t notice that we’d changed that, and manually removing an unreachable corner Battery.
SingularByte: he/him
Batteries don’t vanish though - I made a change as part of https://blognomic.com/archive/speed to remove the battery deletion out of concerns that the previous wording would favour people in the same time-zone as the Gridmaster.
Currently runners just become unable to take from a given battery more than once. Other people can still use it themselves.
