Proposal: Predators Prefer Live Prey

Reached quorum, 4-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

In the rule “Predators”, just before the text “The following Predators exist” add this text:

A Snail is considered Prey if all of the following are true for that Snail:
* That Snail has a Status of “Healthy”
* That Snail is On the Track
* That Snail has a Position greater than 0cm but less than the Finish Line
* If that Snail is not a Slug, it has at least 1 Play
* That Snail is not the Slug of Death

In the same rule, for each Predator’s Effect text, replace each instance of “Healthy Snail” and each instance of “Healthy Snails” with “Prey”.

In the same rule remove the text “The Slug of Death and Snails not on the Track are ignored for the purposes of determining Predator targets”.

In the same rule, after the text “take any dynastic action which would change their Position” add “if their Position is currently a numeric value”.

Trying to be fair to Snails who haven’t done anything in the Ongoing Race yet so they won’t be affected by Predators. Also fixed an issue where Snails that aren’t Healthy could wind up being put in the Bucket, remain non-Healthy, and miss the next Race because they couldn’t change their Position from “Bucket” to “Bench”.

for though the third Prey condition seems unnecessary when the fourth one already exists

Already exists in this proposal, that is, not in the current rules

There are some Plays that might put you at 0 or below. Also, Josh’s Big Blind Small Blind might have you at 0 or below even with 1 or 2 Plays.

I’d think once someone has had a chance to do *something*, all bets should be off, regardless of where they are. This way you could e.g. throw yourself backwards with Reverse Rocket and then spot danger a million times with Flashy Shell Wrap, causing everyone else to get eaten!

The fifth is definitely redundant with the fourth.

for Can be amended in-flight.
