Proposal: No Zombie Abuse

Timed out 4-8.—Yoda

Adminned at 06 Jun 2011 18:35:04 UTC

In “The Dead”, change

A Farmer may Create a Zombie by spending its Species’ Cost in Juice, selecting a legal Name for it, setting the Owner to themselves, and placing it at a Square with shade 0 of their choice on any Plot. If, at any time, a Zombie’s Owner contains an illegal value (such as when a Farmer idles), that Zombie immediately has their Owner set to the Landlord.

If, at any time, a Zombie’s Owner contains an illegal value (such as when a Farmer idles) or contains a value equal to the plot’s owner (such as when a Farmer creates a Zombie on their own plot), that Zombie immediately has their Owner set to the Landlord.

Not sure if players should be permitted to create zombies on their own plot, but if they do so they shouldn’t be able to control them (because then the player will just not bother shambling them).

Redundant for :

Tip: You can (if this proposal fails) protect yourself from other players (excepting the landlord) by filling all squares with shade 0 with your own zombies, then not shambling.  This does make the Landlord’s summons more dangerous…

Meh, I’ll abstain for now.  I’m not sure how useful this is.

against While the “tip” and the question wether or not a Farmer should be allowed to create a Zombie on their own plot remains valid, simply setting every Zombie who is on your plot to the Landlord does seem to be an overkill. In my opinion, we should, if it is agreed that we want that, only disallow the _creation_ of Zombies on your own plot.

mideg: Personally, I like allowing users to summon zombies on their own plot without controlling them better than not allowing it at all.

@aguydude: Still, this can be handled without forbidding them to let their own Zombies stumble upon their plot without losing control.

against I agree with mideg.  Besides, I already have a lot of zombies that I control, and giving me more will just bog me down with a lot of shambling zombies.

For the sake of Yoda’s sanity and to get some time with him when he’s not on his comp.
