Proposal: The Minor Fixes Never End

Timed out, 3-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

In the description of the Iron Slug, replace “its” with “the Iron Slug’s”.

In the rule “Plays”, replace “A Snail may not Play if the number of Plays they have made in the Ongoing Race is at least three greater than every other Snail’s” with “Unless they are the only Snail who would otherwise be able to Play, a Snail may not Play if the number of Plays they have made in the Ongoing Race is at least three greater than every other Snail’s”.

Fixing the Iron Slug’s unclear referent as seen in Race 2, and also preventing the Race from freezing up if only one Snail can Play (resulting in a Snail that would otherwise be able to get to the Finish Line being screwed over). There are about a million other tiny things like this I noticed at some point, but I really should have written them down somewhere because I can’t remember any of them.

There’s still the matter of cleaning up the “Snails in the Bucket” issue. None of the rule changes pending under Rule Amendments address it.

It sounded like you had an idea in the comments in “Let’s Move On”. If you’d rather not “sink” this Proposal with yet another iteration of the Bucket problem that might fail, post your idea here in the comments, and I’ll take it up as soon as I have a slot free, which will be sometime today.

I think I’ll leave the Bucket issue to Josh so he can pick a wording he’s alright with. I could add my suggestion in Let’s Move On to this proposal, but I want to keep it to relatively non-controversial fixes in this one. If you really want to post it, I just suggested the same thing as Let’s Move On did but the second point is replaced with “Snails in the Bucket or on the Bench have the same gamestate variables as those not in the Bucket or on the Bench” to (hopefully) address Josh’s concern.
