To the list of NPCs in rule 2.4 “Floating Voters”, add the following NPCs:
- Haiku Sensei
- The Haiku Sensei’s Voting Intention is equal to the author of the most recent passed proposal this dynasty which was written entirely as a sequence of one or more haikus (for the purpose of this rule, a haiku is a three-line poem whose lines have 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively, and which references, possibly obliquely, spring, summer, autumn, or winter), or “Undecided” if there is no such Voter.
- Murphy O’Limerick
- Murphy O’Limerick’s Voting Intention is equal to the author of the most recent passed proposal this dynasty which was written entirely as a sequence of one or more limericks (for the purpose of this rule, a limerick is a five-line poem in which the first, second, and fifth lines have 8 or 9 syllables each (with all having 8, or all having 9) and rhyme, and the third and fourth lines have 5 syllables each and rhyme), or “Undecided” if there is no such Voter.
This was originally spikebrennan’s idea, but I like it.

There once was a man
From Peru, whose lim’ricks all
Look’d like haiku. He
Said with a laugh “I
Cut them in half, the pay is
Much better for two.”

Each line of a haiku (and, iirc, a limerick as well) has to make sense by itself.

I will think up some dynastic rules
with my wit and my words as my tools.
So read my manifesto,
Because it is the besto.
If I don’t get your votes, you’re damn fools!

I do not like poems.
(I know Haikus and Limericks are not that hard, but anyways…)

Though a haiku themed dynasty would, I reckon, be cool.
