If “Power Meter” is not enacted, this Proposal has no effect.
In the rule “The Grue”, add the following text:
Any time the Grue does not have a copy of yank.c in its Stack, the Gridmaster should add a copy of yank.c in its Stack if possible, according to the Stack section of the rules.
If the Grue’s Location is changed and the Cell in the Grue’s new Location contains a Battery, the Gridmaster should process the Collect action as if requested by the Grue as described in the Power section of the rules.
If the Grue is going to move around and follow other Runners, we might as well give it some rudimentary Power and Programming. This could be a launching point for the Grue AI, or simply giving it just enough to do something interesting when it’s in the same Location as another Runner.
I worry that if the grue starts acting like a regular player in some respects, it’ll need a lot of complexity before it becomes something useful. Something simple would probably be a good fit.
