Cream Pie is Bakers!

I like the idea, but the way this interacts with the Distance/Round Table mechanic is kind of wonky.  It’s as if there’s a separate table in each location and you have to take your assigned seat in your new room (the same one you were sitting in in the old room), even if all the other chairs are empty.  It means if you want to hit someone with a pie and they sit too far away, you can’t follow them to their new location in order to get closer.

Also, if this rule passed the Portal pies should be changed to specify that Locations change as well.

If we addressed those two issues (especially the second one), I’d be behind this one.

Why do portal pies need to change locations?

I kinda like how the locations mechanic and table mechanic give you two different ways to avoid someone. This is supposed to be a silly dynasty that doesn’t make a ton of real-world sense. (I mean, there is a room that lets you turn apple pies into cream, how does that work???)

@Murphy “Input: 1 Baker. Output: 20 cream pies” =D

It’s not that Portals would change location, but that you should swap Locations with your target, if it hits.

“As a daily action, a baker may pick one of the Upgrades listed below and perform it.” Will it be legal to do those local upgrades? They “become available”, but are not “listed below”...

All locations are assumed to be “valid”...

And typos: “If a Baker’s Location is the Science Lab, if he is targeted by a Portal Pie neither his Position nor Pies swap with the attacker”.

Though with the “thought behind the rule” mindset.

I think locations should be switched by Portal Pies as well, that’s why they are “Portal”. This can be brought up for voting later, though.

This seems highly inconsistent with the cream pie fight, but new mechanics are very welcome. I don’t think you need to add “in the same location as himself” for the fight; we could imagine bakers using a Jedi Council-like hologram systems to throw pies at each other.

I think its more fun to require you to chase people, which is why I gave you the two warp pies so its easier to move around with.

Not to jump on the bandwagon too much here, but I’ve decided the current limitations aren’t a dealbreaker.  I like.
