Proposal: Sundew #2

Vetoed.—Yoda

Adminned at 18 Jun 2011 12:45:16 UTC

Add a new Seed to the Gardening Compendium titled “Sundew” with the following text:

Name: Sundew (B)
Sun Cost: 15
Shade Requirement: 0
Offence: 0
Defence: 1
Effect: If Sundew has less than 2 Shade, Planter may pay 15 sun to reduce the Health of 1 Zombie on Planter’s own Plot by 2.  If this brings that Zombie’s health to 1, that Zombie is destroyed.

against The effect can be triggered indefinitely, which means that if there’s some scam for generating infinite sun, this effect can be triggered endlessly rather than, say, once a day.

Yoda: If you could generate infinite Sun, you could generate lots of Sun, clear out your garden with Molotov Cocktails, then rebuild your garden with your infinite Sun.

If the effect could only be triggered once daily, you could just keep planting Sundews on top of each other (or juicing them) with your infinite sun, so your fix wouldn’t help.

Also, if you could generate infinite sun you could turn it into juice fill everyone’s plot with bombies, annihilate most of their plot, and then trigger a zombie apocalypse, likely winning the game.

Really, the only infinite usage abuse I can think of is if there was a scam to allow one to convert the 15 sun used to kill a zombie into greater than 15 sun…but I can’t currently see a way to do that.

aguydude: Point taken, I still don’t like the fact that it’s an unlimited action, though.  I don’t know, must be my jedi sense tingling or something.  I really should get that looked at…

@Yoda: I can definitely imagine it leading to a scam, but I don’t think all the necessary pieces are currently in place.
