Proposal: Weeds

Times out 3 votes to 4. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 22 Feb 2017 11:26:46 UTC

In “Locations”, add to the Road:-

As a daily action, a Villager on the Road may add a Weed to their inventory.

Then replace the word “Weed” in that rule with the name of a random Plant.

In “The Doctor’s Rounds”, replace “has neither Eaten nor been on the Road during the previous two Intervals” with:-

has not Eaten during the previous two Intervals

Add a new subrule to “Locations”, called “Roadside Plants”:-

If the Remedy named in the Road action rule Cures a Disease, the Doctor may replace that Remedy’s name in that action rule with the name of a secretly random Plant, chosen from those which do not Cure any Diseases. The Doctor may repeal this rule if the Remedy named in the Road action rule does not Cure a Disease, or if all Plants Cure Diseases.

Making the Road a source of free plant food (one which doesn’t cure anything, if such plants exist), to make my processing of the Rounds a little easier (I currently have to check back through the GNDT to see if anyone’s stepped out of town).

Note: I’m confused about the “Roadside Plants” part. If Weed randomizes to Mandrake when the proposal gets enacted, and then someone on the road takes a Mandrake, is that the “Road action” in “If the Remedy named in the Road action Cures a Disease,”? If Mandrake cures a disease, now Mandrake is listed as belonging to the road denizen’s in the GNDT, how can the Doctor secretly replace the Mandrake with something?

Note: in my last comment “someone on the road takes a mandrake”, I mean “adds a Mandrake to their inventory”, not Take as in applying a remedy to themself.

Note: Why not just have a new remedy actually called “Weed” that is guaranteed not to cause or cure anything and free to take on the Road?

Oh, I just meant “Road action” to refer to the rule as written. I’ve now changed “Road action” to “Road action rule” if you think it needs clarifying.

The rule is rather cumbersome. I’d rather just add new plants. Good idea, but I’d prefer a new wording.

against CoV in favor of locking the town back down via my proposal.
