Proposal: Making The Guards Stretch Their Legs

In “Valuables”, change this text:

Selected Spots may not be any Spots which are listed as Points of Ingress, nor may they be adjacent to any such Spots, and they may not be the Grounds

to this text:

A selected Spot may not be any Spot that is listed as an Ingress or a Station, nor may it be any Spot that is adjacent to an Ingress but not a Station, and it may not be the Grounds.

Last Break-In had the issue that the Artifact positioning almost automatically protected an Artifact. lendun and I were aiming for the Concealed Antique, but could only realistically cover two of the three possible locations, because one was a Station. This time, it’s even harder, because there’s an Artifact known to be at a Station as well. These Artifacts are virtually impossible for the Guards to fail to defend, which is not very interesting.

I also relaxed the adjacency rule because otherwise there would be only one valid Spot on the board (L), and tidied up the wording a little.

(I’ve moved this post into the proposal category under the “less than six hours old and appears to the Concierge to have been intended as a Proposal” rule.)

Thank you! It took me a moment to find whether I was allowed to do that myself.

You can but there’s a 15-minute cutoff. The cutoff for the Emperor is longer.

(It also used to be the case that the post needed to have no comments, which meant you couldn’t remind people against the rule, but we changed that a while ago to permit comments with no voting icons in them.)

worried this might swing things too far in favor of guards, given how easy it is to just get to a artifact spot and camp there

“nor may it be any Spot that is adjacent to an Ingress but not a Station”
Is this meant to be read as “it cannot be adjacent to an Ingress, but can be adjacent to a Station”? I’m a bit confused on what is intended.
