{{ _Your Flat or Mine?_

Add the following subsection to Rule 301:

E.5. Flats

There exist conditionally impassable stationary objects called Flats.  A=
 Flat is a structure erected on an otherwise unoccupied surface square of=
 the Grid, or on top of another Flat.

An entity can create a Flat at a given surface unit by specifying eir=
 desire to do so on the public forum.  A Flat costs 35 points, and is=
 constructed at the end of the nweek in which it is purchased.

Once the Flat has been constructed, it is considered a square for the=
 purposes of movement, except that its owner has sole discretion over who=
 is allowed to enter it.  Its grid location is (x,y,z), where (x,y) is the=
 location of the surface square on which it, or the flats under it, are=
 built, and z is the elevation of the surface square plus the number of=
 flats under it.  The unoccupied roof of the flat is considered to be a=
 square at location (x,y,z+1).

If an entity is not permitted to enter the Flat, e is still able to=
 navigate the fire escape on the side of the flat to move to the square=
 above or below the Flat.  Climbing the flat, either up or down, is=
 considered a move, but the Flat being climbed cannot be the square the=
 entity ends eir movement on unless e is permitted to enter the Flat.  If=
 an entity in a square at the same level as a Flat wishes to get to the=
 roof of that Flat, e must move two squares: one to climb the Flat, and one=
 to enter the roof square.

If more than one Flat is stacked at a given surface unit, the collection of=
 Flats is called a Building.

The owner of a Flat may transfer ownership to any other entity e chooses;=
 neither the former owner nor the new owner need occupy the Flat in order=
 to perform the transfer.
