Proposal: N’Oubliette [Appendix]

Enacted popular, 7-0. Josh

To “Richardo’s Journey”, add:-

If a specific step of Entering the Crypt is impossible to perform, Richardo may skip it (this takes precedence over the Atomic Actions rule). If Richardo believes that the current Entering the Crypt action will include more than 50 Moves, and if at least 6 Moves have been performed, he should skip the step that includes the words “carry out another Move”.

If the proposal “Call-Off Schedules” failed, replace the second added sentence with:-

If Richardo believes that the current Entering the Crypt action will take more than 50 repeats, and if at least 6 Moves have been performed, he should set his Energy to zero whenever it would be reduced by 1, during the action.

In “Atomic Actions”, replace “An Atomic Action may direct the Vampire Lord performing it to skip some of its steps, which the Vampire Lord must do and in which case the skipped steps are considered completed for this rule.” with:-

If a rule allows the Vampire Lord performing an Atomic Action to skip some of its steps, the skipped steps are considered to have been completed.

We’re already at a point where Richardo can hit an impossible “randomly select an explored room that is orthogonally adjacent” step, if he has collapsed a room and walked beyond it into a single unconnected chamber.

We’re also undoubtedly going to hit a situation at some point where Josh can’t easily (or ever) complete the atomic because Richardo is somehow gaining Energy faster than he can lose it.

(Edited to add a rider saying that rules in general can permit skipping, as well as Atomic Actions themselves.)

for although I’d prefer for us to be sufficiently cautious with Energy increasers that a loop is impossible.
