Proposal: On the Run

Reached quorum 4 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Enact a new rule, “Distance”:-

Each Failed Experiment is at a Distance from the Laboratory, being an integer value of kilometres, defaulting to zero, and tracked in the GNDT.

Failed Experiments with a Distance below 10 are in the Forest. Those with a Distance between 10 and 19 inclusive are in the Fields. Those with a Distance between 20 and 29 inclusive are in the City. Those with a Distance of 30 or higher are on the Road.

If a given Distance value has only one Failed Experiment at it, then that Failed Experiment is considered to be Exposed.

At any time, a Failed Experiment who is not Exposed may decrease their Discretion by 1 or increase their Hunger by 1 to increase their Distance by up to 5.

If “The Worse Part of Valour” enacted, replace “decrease their Discretion by 1 or increase their Hunger by 1” with “increase their Suspicion or Hunger by 1” in the created rule.

The groups have to be taken into account. We could put a rule that maximises the distance between any two members of a group, say 10, and so if one member is at 25 and the other at 35, the second member cannot advance anymore or else they have to leave the group or wait for the slowest member to move.
(I proposed the group mechanics first because I really want it to be an integral part of the gameplay (i.e. strategically choosing the best group for ones own interests))

Might as well start grouping then.

I wrote the rule in such a way that lone Failed Experiments are considered groups, so we already belong to a group and there is no need to initialize groups.

Yep, I’d just like to get the cool jazz going

(This is also useful so that one can leave a group by simply choosing to group with oneself. Sounds strange but from a ruleset point of view it simplifies many things to have one-player groups)

I get what you mean but I think it’s ambiguous in that case, because it doesn’t say in what order the leaving and joining is. Do you join first and then leave or leave first and then join? It just says that you do both.

Well noticed. I’m preparing a proposal to fix some of my wording in the rules.
