Proposal: Station Down

Reached quorum 6 votes to 0 with an Imperial DEF. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 15 Apr 2025 07:44:32 UTC

Add the following to “The Hotel”

A Spot is an Station if and only if it appears on the List of Stations, which is a publicly tracked list of Spots. By default, E, O, I and V are stations.

In “Routes” replace

If the Route’s Agent is a Guard, “Grounds” does not appear in their Route

with

If the Route’s Agent is a Guard, “Grounds” does not appear in their Route and the first Spot is a Station

Need to be careful around just setting stuff to be stations if my shadow proposal passes, because there is a chance

because although I think this will improve the game for the future, I also think it should affect the following round only, rather than this round.

In particular, if this passes, some Guards may need to change their Routes in order to be able to move to the next phase, whereas other Guards’ Routes may be legal already. As such, Guards whose routes happen to start at a station will be under timing pressure to revoke their Route after this proposal passes, but before the other Guards modify their Routes to start at Stations – which could potentially happen while they’re asleep. If I had submitted a route that happened to start at a Station, I would have to consider staying awake until this proposal is enacted and immediately revoking my Route once it were, in order to avoid ending up with a Route that didn’t mesh well with the other Guards – and I don’t think the game should be about timing to that extent.
