Proposal: Why? Why not?

Reaches quorum and is enacted at 8-0 -SingularByte

Reword the content of the rule “Statuses” to the following:

Statuses are states of being that a Bot may have during a bout. Each Status has a name, which is flavor text, and an effect. The following are all statuses that a bot may have:
* Flipped: When an Actor is Flipped, any step in its Script that results in it moving or using a System is ignored, unless that step would also result in them ceasing to be Flipped.

In the rule “BotScript”, reword the the list of Triggers to the following:

* “If the X space(s) [in front of / behind the] Actor are empty…”, where X is a number from 1 to 13.
* “If [the space / any of the X spaces] [in front of / behind the] Actor are occupied by an Opponent…”, where X is a number from 1-13.
* “If the Actor [has / does not have] Y…”, where Y is any Status.
* “If the Opponent [has / does not have] Y…” where Y is any Status.
* “If X [or [less / more]] turns have passed..”, where X is any number 1-10.

This is more of a tidying up proposal, but there are a couple of new triggers in there. The main effect is to create better framework for future statuses and make the triggers a little more flexible and have better grammer.

One trigger that I’ve also been considering is a time based one, such as “If X [or less/more] turns have passed…”
Is it possible to squeeze that into this proposal or should I do it as a separate one later on?

Also, the text below the blockquote is a little unclear - do you need to state that you’re adding them as triggers?

Thanks! I added your idea and fixed the formatting issues. I had some bockquote issues.
