Proposal: Scoping Out

Reached quorum 10 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Enact a new rule, “The Hotel”:-

[[File:Hotel Nagelburg.png|thumb|The map of the Hotel Nagelburg]]

The Hotel Nagelburg has a number of lettered Spots, indicated on its map as a red letter inside a yellow circle. If two Spots are joined by a blue line that passes through no other Spots, then those two Spots are Connected. (The red letters, yellow circles and blue lines on the map image are not considered to be flavour text.)

The Concierge may make edits to the map of the Hotel Nagelburg at any time, so long as doing so would not change how any rules interpreted its content.

Enact a new rule, “Routes”:-

Each Agent has a Route, being a string of letters which is privately tracked by the Concierge.

A Route is complete if each of its letters after the first is that of a Spot which is Connected to the Spot whose letter is the previous letter in the Route (or is the same as that previous letter) and if the Route is exactly twelve letters in length.

An Agent may change their Route to any complete Route, or to a blank string, as a virtual action.

Defining a building map and a way for players to say how they intend to move around it. (Hotel map sketched up quickly with no great thought on its shape or number of routes, we’ll see how it goes.)

I think the image is flavour text unless you specifically say it isn’t: “A rule may be accompanied by one or more illustrations, and an illustration may have a caption. In all situations, unless otherwise explicitly stated, an illustration and a caption to an illustration must be treated as flavour text.”

This is particularly awkward given that an image isn’t a string of characters at all – we might want to fix that rule.

Interesting, I suppose we introduced it for cases where an image was summarising rather than representing gamestate. Proposal amended to say that the letters and lines are not “flavour text”.
