Proposal: The Trouble With Lab Animals
Vetoed. Failed by Kevan.

Add a new rule entitled “Poop”:
Rat poop is an irritating nuisance in a lab environment. Every Cell has an amount of Droppings in it. A nonzero amount of Droppings n may be recorded in the Maze as “n Droppings” (an amount of zero need not be recorded).
The glamorous task of cleaning the Maze has been assigned to Jeremy, the grad student, who comes by each Monday at 0:00 and removes all Droppings from every Cell. Any Rat or the Head Scientist may update the wiki page to reflect this change.
Change the bulleted list in the rule entitled “Movement” to the following:
* Scamper: add a Dropping to its Cell, then move any number of Cells in a cardinal direction, so long as this move does not pass through any walls.
* Crawl: add a Dropping to its Cell, then move from A4 to G4 (or vice versa) or from D1 to D7 (or vice versa).
Note that, in the description of Crawl, the phrase “and vice versa” has been changed to “or vice versa” to ensure that it does what we want it to do.
Tantusar: he/they
You know, this is very thematic and all, but I just don’t like the mechanic. I mean, sure stuff can be done with it (probably some sort of Hygiene mechanic, or blocked corridors?) but I’m not sure we need the clutter.
And plus, Jeremy’s a nice guy, I like him. He’s got… What’s the word? Okay, so I don’t what he’s got, but he’s probably good at whatever it is. For his sake (and hopefully for the only time this Dynasty) I’m going to have to
this one.
