I was simply copying the existing language, which I assumed was there for a reason. I guess we could remove it. >> c. At least one of the following is true: >> i.

The reason I based it on selection was to avoid a potential scam where the Land Managor could select the Weather, make decisions based on that selection, and only then announce it. > Point c.ii. probably shouldn't have the "and had not yet been selected > when it was planted" (which doesn't really make sense in that context). That clause is there to prevent an exploit - if you can take advantage of good weather to harvest a crop you planted after the weather was selected/announced, then you can potentially wait until the weather is good for a crop, then repeatedly plant and immediately harvest it for an arbitrarily large amount of pyrite. Perhaps it would make more sense for a crop to BECOME ripe, as an event, rather than it being a condition that has to be satisfied. >> When the Fields Wither, all unlost, unharvested Crops are lost.

So far it is, thank you. - Galle
