I like the second part, but not the first.

I’m ok with having locations harder to access, but my progress should count for something - e.g. if I make it to the Dark Forest, then I should only need 1 extra energy to get to The Silent Bay, not 2.

Also, the Locations are fairly obviously tied into Domains- I don’t like that it is harder to get to some of the Elemental three than others when they have previously been on equal footing. I’m fine with making them harder to access, but I don’t like the arbitrary order set up. Maybe Mastery could tie into it?

Nice ideas, but are you really saying that without those modifications (if you proposed them as further amendments and they got voted down), you wouldn’t want this rule in the ruleset at all?

BlogNomic occasionally drifts into phases of “I like this, but it’d be better with X, let’s vote this down and propose a new version with X tomorrow” perfectionism and I’m not sure it’s the best way to play Nomic. If you like a pending proposal and can see a way to improve on it, vote FOR and propose the improvement.

Hm, I also think what kikar said, also what raichu said. Maybe we could make it so that it costs like 3 energy to get from the abode to one of the 3 elementals and another 5 to get to the temple from one of the elemental sites. And then it costs you the same on your way back, moving from elemental spot to elemental spot might just cost 1 energy. Something like that.

per Raichu, Kikar

Fair point, Kevan.
