In the rule “The Classroom”, change “If a Student occupies a Desk, that Student may - as a daily action - change their Desk number to that of any unoccupied Desk which is next to their current Desk.” to
If a Student (the “Elephant”) occupies a Desk number X, they may - as a daily action - perform exactly one of the following:
* a step: change their Desk number to that of any unoccupied Desk which is next to their current Desk;
* a pull: choose a Student (the “Rabbit”) occupying a Desk next to the Desk X, perform a step, and then set the Rabbit’s Desk number to X;
* a push: choose a Student (the “Rabbit”) occupying a Desk number Y which is next to the Desk X, change the Rabbit’s Desk number to that of any unoccupied Desk which is next to the Desk Y, and then set the Elephant’s Desk number to Y.
However, a Student may not perform a pull or a push when they are in the PAoI.
If you do not move, others will move you :)
As of now, one may occupy a Desk in the middle and protect himself from being a Victim.

We’re back to playing ClingBoom now?

This makes it easier for bullies, but terrible for someone beeing cornered, because of the PAoI restriction.
Josh: he/they
quirck: he/him
If a cornered person is in PAoI, then at least one of the surrounding desks is also in the PAoI, which is good for the cornered person.
Kevan: he/him
IceFromHell:
[quirck] not really, since he probably won’t be able to force his cornered position, since he can’t push/pull while the Professor is around.
quirck: he/him
It is possible though hard. Imagine the Professor over the Desk 3, some Students at Desks 2 and 6, and active Victim pulling someone to Desk 5 while going to Desk 1.
For the Victim, pushing/pulling is more of a defense.
IceFromHell:
Fair enough, CoV
