If the proposal “Showboating?” passed, revert it.

In the rule Basic Grid Rules, append the following text as a new paragraph:

Each Cell also has a publicly tracked colour, defaulting to Black. The colour of a cell is not considered to be part of its Value.

In the rule The Lines, replace “Set the Value of all Cells to -” with

Set the Value of all Cells to -, and set them to their default colour.

Create a new subrule of “The Grid” called “The Alpha Sector”:

The Alpha Sector is composed of all cells that are coloured Red.

In Running, change “Post a blog entry announcing the new Watch Number” to

Post a blog entry announcing the new Watch Number, and announcing any Runners whose Locations are cells in the Alpha Sector.

In the rule Features, add the following to the list:

* Alpha Sector: Privately randomly choose a number from 2 to 4 to represent the size of the Alpha Sector: 2 by 2 cells, or 3 by 3 cells, or 4 by 4 cells respectively. Privately randomly choose the location of the Alpha-Sector and colour all cells within the chosen region red. Then, set the value of a random cell within the Alpha Sector to Terminal.

In the rule Features, change “Database: Repeat the following 5 times: Select a Disk at random and add a new instance of it to the Heap in a random cell.” to:

Database: Repeat the following 5 times: Select a Disk other than junk.c at random and add a new instance of it to the Heap in a random cell.

Add the following Disks to the table of Disks in the rule Disks:

| -
| gain.c || 1 || If you are in the Alpha Sector, gain 3 capacity, then remove this Disk.
|-
| send.c || 2 || If you are in the Alpha Sector, you may add one junk.c disk between any two adjacent disks in any Runner’s Stack, or add it to the leftmost position of any Runner’s Stack.
|-
| junk.c || 2 || No effect.
