Proposal: Like Clockwork

Timed out, 4-1 with 1 DEF. Enacted by JonathanDark.

In the Inputs to Snipe, both in the ruleset and if there is a current duel than in the spell list for the current duel, replace “other than Snipe” with “other than Snipe or Fizzle”

Add the following to “Engaging in a Duel”

If a duel has been open for 72 hours, any Wizard participating in that duel who has not selected a spell for that duel is considered to have selected to cast Fizzle for that duel.

In “Commencing a Duel” replace “Increase the Charm of any Spell which was listed in the Spell List ” with “Increase the Charm of any Spell other than Fizzle which was listed in the Spell List “

Set the Charm of Fizzle to 0

Adding a timeout to prevent the game from completely stalling. While also making Fizzle unsnipeable because a) it does nothing when you snipe it and b) it stops people from trying to camp the end of a duel and switch to snipe someone’s fizzle at the last minute if they figure that person hasn’t made their move yet. And then also making it so that there is no reason at all you’d ever want to intentionally cast Fizzle

Unclear how this is intended to interact with wizards clearing their selections.

I was wondering about the fizzle charm. Seemed like an oversight. Greentick, if clucky’s point gets fixed

If your clear your selection after 72 hours, then you would not have a spell selected and so you’d selected fizzle.

You can always change your spell from fizzle to something else if you so wish, though there is a chance that the round will end before then

So maybe don’t clear your selection after 72 hours

Counterpoint: If you clear your spell, you have selected one even though you’ve since rescinded the selection.
Anyway, the only change among these that I approve of is the general 72 hour limit, so net against.

for just to keep Bucky from his free Charm points for Fizzle.

@Bucky if that was the case, I’d still be able to run the duel under the “and every Wizard participating in it has selected a spell to cast in that duel,”. Meaning I’d still be able to run duels after people have cleared their spell.

Also do you feel 72 hours is too short or too long? Cause waiting 72 hours feels very slow to me.
