There's no requirement that every piece must move in a straight line. But I do think it is best that every piece begin its movement in a direction indicated by an arrow. After all, keeping with the spirit of Smess, I want to keep this game simple enough for children and simpletons to learn. I know young children can learn to play Chinese Chess, as I know some who do play it. I at least want children who play Chinese Chess to be able to quickly understand the rules of Storm the Ivory Tower, and I think that modifying the Ninny as you suggest would work against this.
