Proposal: One Leg at a Time

Timed out, 3-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 11 Dec 2024 19:48:38 UTC

Add the following to the rule Slugs, as a paragraph just before the text “The following Slugs exist”:

Whenever a Snail’s Play would trigger the Movement Rules or Extra Effects of a Slug, the sequence of events must be resolved in the following order, skipping over any steps that don’t apply:

* The inciting Snail’s Play
* The Extra Effects of any triggered Slug, in alphabetical order;
* The Movement Rules of any triggered Slug, in alphabetical order.

This must be completed fully before any subsequent triggers are evaluated.

In the rule “Position”, replace the sentence that starts with the text “A Snail in the Bucket or on the Bench does not count ” with the following:

Snails in the Bucket or on the Bench may not take any dynastic actions while there’s an Ongoing Race.

Re-proposing Josh’s suggestion for precedence, using the correct Keyword terminology for Slugs’ Movement Rules and Extra Effects. Also adding in Habanero’s simplification for Snails in the Bucket. Credit goes to them for the ideas.

for, though there are probably a couple places to patch throughout the ruleset if we do the Bucket change as I stated it

for Don’t love the dynastic-actions restriction as discussed elsewhere, but I suppose if I can’t win the argument then I can try to exploit the loopholes.

Are you concerned about the prioritization? I don’t think there’s an issue there because neither the blanket-statement “you can’t do anything if you’re in the Bucket” nor the specific actions “you can do X” have a more restrictive scope than the other. Like we discussed on Discord, the first is broader in terms of breadth of circumstance and the second is broader in terms of size of class, so I’d think the 5th bullet point in Prioritization applies and the negative blanket statement takes precedence. Either way, if it does bother you I’ll tack on a clarification to my next proposal.
