Proposal: Ups and downs

timed out 5-0 enacted by card

To the rule “Special Movement”, add the following Special Moves:

- A Pawn can move their Piece (if they have only one) from its current cell to the immediately next cell above it on the same board (if it exists) by rounding their sanity to the nearest prime number. In case of a tie, the Pawn can choose whether to round up or down.
- A Pawn can move their Piece (if they have only one) from its current cell to the immediately next cell below it on the same board (if it exists) by rounding their sanity to the nearest triangular number. In case of a tie, the Pawn can choose whether to round up or down.
For the purposes of these special moves, negative numbers are considered prime and/or triangular if and only if their absolute value is respectively prime and/or triangular.

I think it’s sad that special moves only go left and right. I also think the sanity calculations can get a bit weirder.

never heard of a triangular number before, maybe it could use a definition in the rule?

Yes, I suppose so. I’ll make a new proposal to reflect that.

for I don’t mind triangular numbers not being defined in the ruleset as a quick google search reveals it is a well defined concept.

I was originally planning on using squares, but while checking Wikipedia to make sure I had the name right, I stumbled upon the triangulars and they seemed like just the right amount of weird.
