Proposal: Out of Range Error

Reaches quorum with 8-0 and is enacted -SingularByte

Adminned at 14 Jul 2022 03:59:00 UTC

To the “use the following System” Reaction, add:-

If it’s a Melee System and the Opponent’s Bot is not in any of the three spaces immediately in front of the reacting Bot, then the System’s Effect is instead not used.

Add “Melee System.” to the start of the Effects of Axe and Grinder.

Reword the Flipper Effect to:-

If the Actor is Flipped, it ceases to be Flipped. Otherwise, this counts as a Melee System and the Opponent becomes Flipped.

If the proposals “Up to Scratch” and “Ring Out” both enacted, reword the Ram to:-

Passive: Scratch Damage dealt to opponents by this Bot as a result of Shoving is multiplied by ten.

If either of those proposals failed, reword the Ram to:-

Move forward 13 times. The Condition of the Opponent’s Chassis and (if it has one) its Exposed System both have 15% subtracted.

To “Systems”, add:-

If a System effect is preceded by “Passive:”, then it has no effect when used, and instead applies to a Bot with that System at all times.

Seems wrong that Bots can hit each other with axes from anywhere in the arena.

I believe the Ram clause needs to care about both Up to Scratch and Ring Out being enacted, since you need both for shoving to exist and to cause scratch damage.

Good point, and fixed.

One other potential tweak I’ve noticed you might need: Flipper fails to be able to put you upright again if the opponent is too far away. It might need an effect to say it’s not a melee weapon if you yourself are flipped.

Ah, didn’t notice that. Amended.
