Proposal: Preparing the Board

Self-killed for ambiguous wording. Failed by Kevan.

Enact a new rule, “Board and Pieces”:-

Mornington Crescent is a board game played on the London Underground map as it exists at http://blognomic.com/images/tubemap.gif. The Board consists of a number of Stations situated on a number of Lines.

Each Player has a Piece, the location of which is tracked in the GNDT. This Piece may either be placed Off the Board (notated as “-”), or at a single Station. All Players’ Pieces begin Off the Board.

Enact a new rule, “Mornington Crescent”:-

If a single Player’s Piece is located at Mornington Crescent, that Player has achieved victory.

imperial One minor concern: “This piece may be either placed [nowhere] or at a single Station.” A malicious player might interpret this to mean that they may ‘place’ their piece at Mornington Crescent freely. I’m not sure if this scam would fly, but it’s worth pointing out.

against Good point. “Located” would be a more unambiguously inactive verb.

against Good point, I’ll self-kill and repropose.
