Line 84:

During a voting period, a player can send a duck on a scouting mission by rolling a d12 for the duck. When the duck is on the scouting mission, benefits the duck provides the player are paused. Any upkeep cost of owning the duck is also paused until the duck returns.

The number rolled on the d12 to commence the scouting mission is the potential quacks. If the duck returns, the duck will have this number of potential quacks added to their existing quacks. For a player's duck to return, the player must wait until after the end of the voting period the duck was sent on the mission. Then the player can then roll a retrieval d12 roll to attempt to retrieve the duck. If the retrieval roll is greater than or equal to the number of potential quacks determined upon the duck's departure, the duck returns. When the player attepts to retrieve the duck, and if the duck's potential quacks exceeds 9, the player may choose to cut their losses by posting their intent in #game-actions. The duck's potential quacks become 1, and the duck returns without requiring a retrieval roll. A player can only attempt to retrieve each scouting duck once per voting period. Upon return, the potential quacks are added to the returning duck's total quacks, benefits and costs the duck provides to the player are unpaused~~, and as long as they have not cut their losses~~, the owner of the duck will obtain a new duck along with their existing duck.

The Duck King, Duck Lord, and DUCK DUKE are all Duck Royalty.

Line 120:

Players may move ducks from one pond to another by spending one quack from that duck and posting in #game-actions. Players cannot move a duck (after its initial assignment) that does not have any quacks.

If a duck does not have an assigned pond, ~~it must be assigned~~ a ~~pond before any~~ player may interact with ~~that duck~~.

If a duck does not have an assigned pond, a player may not interact with it except to assign it to a pond or to name it.

At the beginning of each voting period, each duck loses one quack for each duck of its same color in the pond it lives in, not including itself. It also gains one quack for each duck of a different color that lives in that pond.
