Given that a DoV has passed, would it be permitted (and if permitted, would it be advisable) for an admin to blank the GNDT, remove references to Olympic dynasty-specific game documents such as the events page, change the logo at the top to an interregnum logo, and so on?
So did I, ChinDoGu. I DID have a way to win with it, though. I assume we found the same infinite scam. I was going to wait until just before the closing ceremonies to kick it off, though. As for how to win with it…
Once the closing ceremonies occurred, this sentence from 2.10 takes effect: “If two or more Olympians have the same score, the one with highest popularity(provided one exists) archives victory.”
It doesn’t say that they have to be tied for the HIGHEST score, though. So I would have tied with other Olympians with zero score, and had the highest popularity among them (among all Olympians, in fact).
"Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game. The primary activity of Nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed."

No. Only when Doremi makes eir Ascension Address.
E may choose to retain any rule from this dynasty, and that would make some of the GNDT to remain unchanged.
Angry Grasshopper:
Heh, heh.
ChinDoGu:
Bother, I had an infinite popularity and TP scam all set up, but couldn’t find a way to win with it 8-(
Good work DRM

ChinDoGu:
Ooh. Nice. You were using the multiple forgives of a cheater loophole too?
Elias IX:
Haha, I was looking into that TP/popularity generator as well.

r: the tp/popularity scam: “may post a reply” = “may post one reply [per Req. for Forgiveness]” was my interpretation.
