And I bet this will be part of a scam

[spike] Why?

Because it explicitly permits two Players to collude in order to compose the Trail of one of them.

CoV Changed my mind on this because it’s not a daily action, meaning that a player can copy the entirety of another player’s trail over in one go if they wish. In other words, it makes farming trail combos amongst a cabal fairly trivial.

CoV. Did not think it could be so dangerous.

=P

COV per Josh

Is it that dangerous? If you farm an UNLOCK off of an accomplice, and use it, then your Trail is now reduced. I’m assuming that the fact you can only “change the n-th letter” means that if you only have one letter in your Trail, you can’t copy the second, third, fourth and fifth letters of “UNLOCK”.

CoV per Josh.

You’d only need three accomplices to achieve victory instantly under the terms of “An alternative unlocking proposal”. That’s well within the reach of a moderately organised IRC channel.

They’d all have to have six letters in their Trail already, but fair enough - the game is more interesting if a single UNLOCK isn’t the end of the world.

By which I mean

Is this proposal self-killed? (What does a self-DEF mean? I remember we had this argument before…)

Last time we decided that it was indeed self-killed. I remember, because that was right before I added some modifications to BNscript, and that is one of the features I added.

Expliciting. If it was already self-killed, this may be an illegal move or an invalid vote, I don’t know.
