Report #859
Skillset: Skill: Sanctification
 Org: Serenguard Status: Completed May 2012
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: Currently, there exists an imbalance between defiling and sanctifying,
in that one is allowed to partially sanctify a room once and move on to another
room, extending a shrine's influence. This skews defiling/sanctification
endeavours toward the side of the sanctifiers as they can easily extend their
shrine and force the defiler to once again start at its edges. This report aims
to make some tweaks to how sanctification works in order to keep the two actions
in balance.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Adjust sanctification to only allow you to extend
 influence if adjacent rooms are fully sanctified.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Allow one to defile any room to near zero
 sanctification, but only allow edges to be fully
 desanctified.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: .

I'm on the fence about this. The proposition makes it sound like the advantage
is on side of the sanctifiers: however if they are sanctifying one room only,
then you only need to defile one room only as well. Progress is equally made and
lost (and the problem says: "one is allowed to partially sanctify a room once
and move on to another room"). So solution #2 is not applicable to the given
problem at all!

Solution 1 supported.

Solution 1 is really what's preferred here. Though solution 2 is at least an
alternative worth considering. The idea is that currently you'd essentially be
forced to "start over" once someone began extending shrine influence in this
way. For the very least, solution 2 would allow you to gain some head-way.
