Proposal: Predator Clash/Vegetable Spores [Trivial]

[This rule change will make it hard to kill Strains in one chomp]

In rule Food Chain, cut the rest of the paragraph, after:
Once a day, a Predator may Consume a Strain.

and add:
If the Consumed Strain is a Vegetable, it loses Population equal to the Predator's Population. The Predator gains 2 Size if its Population is less than or equal to the Vegetable Strain's original Population.

If the Consumed Strain is a Predator, both Strains lose Population equal to half of whichever was the smaller original Population. Both Strains gain 1 Size.

and after the Vegetable Synthesis paragraph add:
Vegetable Strains are an exception to the ruling which sets both Size and Population to 0 when either is reduced to 0. If a Vegetable's Population is reduced to 0, its Population is set to its Size and its Size becomes 1, however, if a Vegetable's Size is reduced to 0, then its Population also becomes 0.


5-0 - Timed Out - Enacted by Chronos.

Note 1: I went by the spirit of the Proposals and kept in the Ruleset the text added to the Consume paragraph by Proposal: Resistant Food. If someone diagrees, please CfJ.
Note 2: The way "Both Strains gain 1 Size." was written, in a period by itself, if a Predator eats a Vegetable, both the Predator and the Veggie gain 1 Size, over the 2 Sized gained by the Predator. As I don't know which were Orson's intentions here, I kept it the way he wrote.
