Per Di5VT5PzH1Y, too much admin/awake advantage in being able to grab empty spaces when a location is created or vacated.

Kicking everyone out into the snow upon enactment except for yourself, Lendunistus, Darknight and SingularByte (assuming you all sit tight) also seems harsh.

Had you raised this objection during the edit window then I could have included new neutral locations that would have prevented the overspill!

As it is, though, at some point we have to start making the mechanics work sensibly; you and Brendan trying to defend your use of a loophole feels like a bad reason to not plug the various pieces in properly.

I think there should be a bonus to Roughhousing against late arrivals, as an alternative to this; I’ll propose it once the current huddling kerfuffle shakes out.

@Brenden: no love for the Fight Club as a way to deal with Capacity?

I get it…it’s a more complicated mechanic. Just thought I’d mention it.

I respect the effort, JonathanDark, but yeah, Fight Club seems to me to be overengineering what could be a single-sentence fix.

Capacity eventually has to do something IMO, even if this might not be the best way of dealing with it.

We could just remove it, it’s only a word at the top of a column.

It’s always going to be difficult to square free at-any-time movement with the idea that locations can become too full to enter, in a way that doesn’t punish the less-active or unfortunately-timezoned players who will always be too slow to react to any given space becoming available.

Agreed with Kevan that there should be a better mechanic for dealing with the existing overcapacity than first-movers who got the time zone advantage.

just in case
