Proposal: Sweepminer

Reaches quorum with 7-0 -SingularByte

Adminned at 04 Mar 2023 06:55:20 UTC

In the bullet point of the rule “The Lines” that begins “Privately randomly select…”, replace “Cells” with “Dormant Cells (or as many as can be selected, if fewer than that number exist)”.

Then add to the end of that bullet point:-

(A Cell is Dormant if no Runner has a Location in the same row or column as it, and if no Runner is in the Cells orthogonally and diagonally adjacent to it.)

Removing some of the luck of where these drop, and revealing a little negative-space location information in the process.

I could imagine this would lead to heavy clustering in some circumstances, where you could end up with a whole clump of batteries in the one place that nobody is near.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it will massively benefit anyone close enough to reach it.

That would at least be a reward for correctly positioning themselves closest to an area that nobody else was near.
