Proposal: Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb

Withdrawn. Failed by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 15 Sep 2024 21:26:39 UTC

If the rule “Cellular Plains” was not enacted, this Proposal has no effect.

Add a new rule named “Specials” with the following text:

Each Puzzler has a publicly tracked Specials, which is a list of zero or more Specials described below, defaulting to an empty list. Each Special has an Action. At any time during a Puzzler’s Turn, if the Game Board is not Out of Date, as an atomic action they may remove a Special from their Specials and then carry out the instructions in that Special’s Action.

;Bomb: Action: Select a Plain Cell, and also select every Plain Cell adjacent to that Cell, if there are any. Set each of the selected Cells’ Content to Empty.
;Snowflake: Action: Select a Plain Cell and change it to a Frozen Cell
;Wire: Action: Select a Plain Cell and change it to a Trap Cell

Leaving it up to another Proposal to determine how to get Specials.

“list of one or more Specials” is at odds with “defaulting to an empty list”

why should the bomb ignore non-plain cells?

So that it’s not too powerful. If you think that it’s too much of a nerf, I could change it to only ignore Frozen Cells.

@lukas: thanks, fixed it to “zero or more Specials”

imperial think I prefer it without the specials but don’t have that strong opposition to this approach

I like Clucky’s idea better so I’m going to withdraw this.
