Round 9/Ruleset: Difference between revisions

Line 97:

There exist ponds in the land. The number of ponds is initially equal to the number of ducks in existence, divided by four and rounded down. Whenever a new duck is created, any player can roll a d6. If the result is 6 then a new pond is created.

Each duck lives in ~~up to~~ one pond. ~~The owner of a~~ duck ~~can move~~ that ~~duck to a pond that it~~ does not ~~already~~ live in by ~~stating that they do so~~ in #game-actions. ~~Unless that~~ duck ~~did~~ not ~~live in~~ a ~~pond before being moved~~, it ~~loses one quack. Players cannot move ducks~~ that ~~already live in a~~ pond ~~and possess no quacks~~. ~~Players cannot interact with a named~~ duck ~~that does not live in~~ a ~~pond in any way other than to move~~ it to a pond.

Each duck lives in exactly one pond. Any duck that does not live in a pond may be assigned a pond at any time by its owner by posting in #game-actions. If the duck is not on a scouting mission, it moves immediately to that pond. If the duck is on a scouting mission, it will return to that pond when it returns.

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.

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.

Ducks on scouting missions are not considered to ~~live~~ in ~~any~~ pond ~~until they return. They cannot be moved, and return to their most recent home pond when they are retrieved~~.

Ducks on scouting missions cannot change their pond assignment, except to be assigned one. They are not considered to be in the pond while on a scouting mission.
