Proposal: This is MY Rock now!

Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 11 Mar 2017 10:45:56 UTC

If the proposal “Life” failed, this proposal does nothing.

Add to the list of possible organ states in the rule “Anatomy”

Stingers: An organ may spend one blonium to move a mobile neighbor into an adjacent cell of the organ’s choosing that does not contain a vent or brine pool.

Add to the rule “Neighbors”

Big Grumpers and Eels are considered mobile.

add to the rule “Habitat”

cells are adjacent if the top of one cell is the same as the bottom of the other cell, or if the left of one cell is the same as the right of the other cell.

 

I kind of wonder if starfish should be mobile or not. Decided against it.

for Although I mean, we’ve been operating just fine with “horizontally or vertically adjacent” since we approved the scouting rule.

Wouldn’t “cells are adjacent if the top of one cell is the same as the bottom of the other cell, or if the left of one cell is the same as the right of the other cell.” be clearer if it read

cells are adjacent if they share a side. Corners are not sides.

We have three different actions that all have clarification on what “adjacent” means. From now on we can just say “adjacent”. Also, “cells are adjacent if they are horizontally or vertically adjacent” is a recursive statement, and I don’t like to use those unless I’m making a joke or algorithm.

Nowhere does it say “cells are adjacent if they are horizontally or vertically adjacent”.  It just says “horizontally or vertically adjacent”.

Also pls no more algorithms

“cells are adjacent if they are horizontally or vertically adjacent” was the first thing I was going to write down. I struggled to get the wording write after that. Card does have a better wording.

So… we have long distance stingers? Reaching across the habitat?

Also: orthogonally adjacent is the commonly used term I think.

against crap. I meant to put “in the same cell as the creature”. Self kill.

Even though corners are arguably also orthagonal but it’s accepted terminology. Or “edge adjacent” if you like.

I am looking forward to herding eels though. That is good.
