Proposal: Now You’re Thinking With Pies

Passes 4-3—Clucky

Adminned at 17 Aug 2012 21:10:11 UTC

Add a new flavor of pie called “Portal”. If the proposal “Pies are very classy” passes, give it the Class “Utility”. Add “Input: 2 Empty Pies. Output: 1 Portal Pie” to the list of Upgrades.

Add a new subrule to “The Holy Circle” called “The Holy Dance” and give it the following text:

If a Baker (the Attacker) posses a Portal Pie, the Baker reduce their number of Portal Pies by one, and roll a DICEN where N is the number of Bakers. The Baker the Position equal to the result of the die roll is the Target. The Attacker and the Target then swap Positions and Pies. The Target then gains two Empty Pies.

What if you didn’t actually get to keep your pies for forever, someone might swoop in and steal them? Might be fun, I donno, as it would discourage hoarding. Might make the dynasty too luck based. But that’s the point of proposals—so we can discuss =)

So no “may”... thus, Bakers should always have zero Portal Pies, since once you get one, you immediately lose it and BAH all other pies as well, and you don’t know what you get (might well get nothing). A risky way to switch positions imho.
against for now :)

A worthwhile risk if most of the other Bakers are ahead of you.

It’s a good idea but it should be fleshed out
With some new additions, mainly about
How to choose a Target for this Portal attack
And how that Target can cover his back.

I nominate GreyWithAnE for the Patent Title of Bard.

The not being able to choose your target is feature, not a bug. The no protection is also by design as its supposed to stop pie hoarding.

If not hoard, then what do we do with them?

I donno. Why don’t you propose something?

Because I need to wait until my other proposals die before I’m allowed to :-P.
