If the rule “Tier 1: Yanking” exists, add a subrule to it named “Anchors”. If instead the rule “Tier 1: Techno-Witch Reality” exists, add a subrule to it named “Anchors”. In either case, add the following text to the subrule “Anchors”:
Each Mindjacker has a publicly-tracked Anchor, which defaults to empty. As a Daily Action, a Mindjacker may change their Anchor to be the name of another Mindjacker whose Level is exactly equal to their own.
and replace this text:
provided that the Yanking takes place within 10 minutes of the inciting action.
with this text:
provided that the Mindjacker carrying out the Yanking action has the name of the Mindjacker being Yanked as their Anchor and it has been less than 24 hours since the inciting action has occurred.
Instead of a 10-minute timer, you have to plan your Yanking in advance by setting your Anchor to another Mindjacker before they Ascend or Descend out of your Level. There’s still the possibility of first-mover advantage if multiple Mindjackers have the same Anchor, but I’ll leave that to another Proposal to resolve if necessary. It’s somewhat balanced by the fact that setting the Anchor is itself a Tier 1 action that could trigger a Yanking.
for now, bc i’m not convinced the yanking window needs to be fixed
Does seem better for a game that’s played across several timezones.
Josh: he/they
NB that Ruleset Organisation would change the names of the rules this proposal refers to
