Proposal: Sporting Tweaks

Timed out and enacted 3-0 by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 16 Sep 2023 19:15:47 UTC

In the rule “ClingBoom”, change “an ordered list of 20 traps” to “an ordered list of 8 traps”.

In the rule “Giolitti”, change
“Otherwise the game is a draw.” to “If neither Participant wins, the game is a draw.”

In the rule “Bloggsball”, change “has their Level permanently increased by 1” to “has their Level permanently increased by 1 before determining the number of rounds”.

In the rule “Estate Agent Wrestling”, move the entry

Three Leaps and no Kicks, Punches, or Grapples: -3 Contribution (to a minimum of zero)

to the end of the list of combinations.

In the rule “Blogbots”, change

that Bot is Trashed; if one Participant in a Blogbots Sporting Event is not Trashed then they have won

to

that Bot is Trashed. If one Participant in a Blogbots Sporting Event is Trashed and the other isn’t, the non-Trashed participant has won

Add the following to the end of the rule “Sports Resolution” as a new paragraph:

If a Sport’s resolution procedure doesn’t say when it ends, it ends whenever one or more of its listed Potential Outcomes occurs.

The ClingBoom change should only affect Arena Tampering.
The Estate Agent Wrestling clause removes an ambiguity about whether the -3 to a minimum of 0 can offset the items later in the list.

Won’t ClingBoom often end with multiple players still alive - and a null result - in a smaller arena?

If a given player’s trap comes up four times, everyone else must be dead and the game is over. If other players’ traps come up four times, that player is dead and can no longer contribute to extending the game. Therefore, unless I’m missing something major, the longest possible match is 8 rounds under the current rules.

Ah, right, I’d misread Traps as only being applied to the matching players, I guess from the fact that there were 20 rounds.
