BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

this lets people in a location block everyone out with no cost

@Desertfrog so fix it through a proposal. CFJs aren’t for going “I wish this is how the rules were written so I’m going to act like that is how the rules were written and then use a CfJ to rubber stamp my actions”

sometimes we leave room for “this was the clear intent of the rules, but there was an oversight, but we’re going to follow intent” but that doesn’t apply here

But I also honestly think I would interpret the rules as allowing anyone perform the communal actions

Because “anyone performs the action” then applies to those in the location

Anyone for someone is still anyone

Although I’m not exactly sure how this works when there are no players in the location

That feels like a stretch. Seems like if “As a communal weekly action, any Necromancer may increase the Corpses of this Location 3” doesn’t apply to you, that means you can’t do that action.

Hm, regretfully I have to flip here. I do agree with Desertfrog’s interpretation and think that the rules are written vaguely, but the broader application causes a second-order problem in that the Ancient Portal effect would become open to everyone, everywhere, at all times. That’s probably too big of a swing.

I would support a proposal that made your interpretation explicitly correct, though, DF.
