Wouldn’t it be clearer to use the terminology that two tiles are Neighbours, rather than Diagonally Adjacent?  As described here, Strictly Diagonally Adjacent is what I’d just refer to simply as Diagonally Adjacent.

I agree with Bais, but I think this is good enough

I also agree with Bais, this seems like it could cause confusion.

we can adjust the terms later if needed

I think we’re over-defining orthagonal and diagonal adjacency, which are terms with defined meanings anyway, and I think we can find something different in terms of ways to earn Guilders. It’s be nice to have something that operates on a different gameplay loop from painting tiles.

I’d rather not have too many different gameplay loops. Don’t want to over complicate things with a bunch of different systems people have to track. Might be good to separate actions with have a direct individual benefit from those that just have a communal benefit though otherwise why do the communal ones?

I share Bais’s concerns, but am happy to keep the game moving.

I agree with Bais’s concerns and Josh’s, but I think that separating gameplay loops probably ought to be its own proposal.

feel a bit hesitant about a proposal that has no for votes other than my own. Do the new rules around how distance/adjacency are defined help alleviate some people’s concerns with this? Or are people still unsold on the root mechanics?

I’m fine with the core mechanic, I just feel like the adjacency definition could be better (and that the later proposal to define even more types of adjacency is worse).

would rather have a proposal people actually want. can always come back to this concept later
