My main feedback about this is that the Beast Permitted mechanism seems overly complicated, including a number of SHALLs which can be handled automatically without. If I were writing this, I'd limit ownership of birds to Beast Permitted players, and put a CAN and SHALL on the Avicultor to flip Beast Permitted players to non-Beast Permitted with notice, if they haven't purchased or renewed a license in the previous 30 days. The bans on transfer, loss of birds when you lose the license, etc. would then all be enforced automatically by the rules. > For each Hungry Bird, a random choice among all players who > bought bird food during the previous month is included alongside > that bird in the migration notice. This appears to be a bug? I don't think you use the results of that choice for anything. > - Seagull: A specified player (defaulting to the playmate if not > specified) hereby buys bird food 3 times. The use of "hereby" (in this and the other scrolls) seems wrong – it implies that the rule is making the change at the time the rule was written, rather than at the time the bird was played with. You can just remove it (i.e. "A specified player buys bird food 3 times"). > - Magpie: A specified liquid asset is hereby transferred to the > playmate. Promises are liquid assets, so this effectively makes promises that aren't owned by the Library unusable, cutting out an entire section of gameplay (albeit one that isn't used much at the moment). Also, this may be usable to steal stones from Agora, which might be overpowered (although I'm not sure), unless there's a Power-related reason why it doesn't work. It should probably be limited to specific types of asset. -- ais523
