----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MORNINGTON NOMIC Proposals for Voting on in Week Twenty-Five ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proposal 911 - Higgins' Retroactive Token Declaration [Multiple] Add the following line into the Actions table in Rule 1.7.2: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Action ('#' if Singular) Phase Rule Dur Cost Gain FR ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Retroactivity] Post 1.x.y 20 1Re,1Bk,1Gr Enact the following Rule: A Player may invoke Higgins' Retroactive Token Declaration during their Post-Move Phase by playing the [Retroactivity] Action. When this is played during a Turn, the Token cost of any Action (including the Retroactivity Action) may be payed at any time during that Turn. In other words, the Player need not have the Tokens at the time of playing an Action, so long as at some time during the Turn those Tokens are gained - thus, the gaining of the Tokens is made retroactive to take place before the Action takes place. For instance, Rushton has no silver Tokens, and thus cannot pay to perform a Dollis Sidestep action. However, he can move to King's Cross St. Pancras and gain a 1 silver bonus for arriving at a five or more line interchange. During his turn, he plays a Retroactivity, and thus retroactively has the silver token to play the Dollis Sidestep. {Proposer's Note: I can't find any reference in the Ruleset that states that Retroactivity is explicitly not possible. It's pretty much a convention that we play, that you can't perform an action you can't pay for at the time of the action being performed. But can anyone find a reference in the ruleset? Anyway, in thinking about the way we play MN at the moment, one things we've culled enough from the Encyclopaedia Morningtonia and we should now look at the complex gameplay going on in ordinary MC games on servers everywhere.} ======================================================= The following has been reproposed from Week 24. ======================================================= Reproposal 912 - Baker Street as played on ... [Enactment] If Proposal 908 Passes, enact the following Rule: Rule 4.4.x - Dr. Watson's Reward Under Baker Street Rules, West Ham, Hammersmith and Covent Garden are Special Stations. When a Piece finishes a Turn at any Special Station, that Player may collect any one (but no more than one) of the following rewards, provided that eir Piece did not start that Turn on a Special Station: * A green and a red token. * Two black tokens. * A black and a bronze token. * A blue token. This token reward is to allow beginner players a bonus for exploring the map and learning the practices of the game. [Just bringing an element of the 'real' Baker Street into the variant.]
