Proposal: The shadows are deepening

Too many against votes 1-7.—Yoda

Adminned at 08 Jun 2011 12:56:32 UTC

Add a new seed to the Gardening Compendium, “Solanaceae”

Name: Solanaceae (@)
Sun Cost: 30
Shade Requirement: 6
Offence: 5
Defence: 2
Effect: When the Planter harvests and there are more than one Solanaceae on his Plot, the Planter must remove Solanaceae until there is only one left. He may not gain anything from removing the Crop in this way, even if a rule would make him gain something when a Crop is removed.

With sheds, deeper shadows than 5 are possible, so we should have a plant that requires (makes use of) this. Defence is low because a shed is likely to be in the way of the attacker anyway. That’s also why there’s no Counterback Effect on this. I decided to make this a really offensive seed, but basically limit the use of this plant to one at a time. (Though it is possible to use several for a limited time (‘til the next harvest).
I am unsure wether or not the last half sentence is needed, but better safe then sorry. (Or not?)

Is there a way to get the email notification going for my own proposals without having to post a comment?

There it is, now you have the reason why I did post this comment. :-P

There is one way, and it’s here: http://blognomic.com/member/edit_email/

Uncheck “Enable email notifications by default when you post messages”, and you should be good to go. =)

You can have a full back row of these guys if you don’t mind paying a really hefty price, and skipping out on harvests to keep them going.  I don’t like them in general, not because of this.

@Roujo:
Hm, but then I wouldn’t get any email notifications, would I? I want them on by default _without_ having to post a comment… :-)

@aguydude:
And how would you make a shadow of 6 in the last row with only one shed?

mideg: Destroy the shed by planting a crop on it.  The planting requirement says nothing about what happens if the shade changes later.

abstaining for now

@aguydude:
True. But I don’t believe that that’ll be a problem. If one can invest that much and refrain from harvesting, he has probably better methods of winning.

@mideg: Yes, I’m not worried about it, either.  I dislike the plant in general, not because of that.

against CoV to clear up the queue, because the idea seems unpopular, and because I’m just plain bored.
