Why not try the Triumvirate?

Ooh, sounds good. My theme idea is Calvin & Hobbes.

<i>it’s also been suggested that I should pass the mantle to Josh (given what happened to his last dynasty)</a>

A kind thought, although I don’t really deserve it - my last dynasty ended because of my own sloppy proposal-writing. If you need a consensus candidate then I’ll happily do it, however.

If I were to have another dynasty, it would probably follow on to some degree from the dance proposal in this dynasty - something procedural-ish in which players had to collaborate and position themselves in order to score / achieve / whatever. Perhaps I’d call it the BlogNomic Idol dynasty. Perhaps I’d call myself Simon Cowell.

Pretend I didn’t screw up the html there.

(Actually BlogNomic Idol fits with the triumverate idea. Judging panel and whatnot.)

Although I don’t mind giving the dynasty to Josh.

I find that Triumvirate would be freaking hilarious, even if it probably wouldn’t work.

I had a cool idea for a 48-hour dynasty with a bunch of hidden goodies which I designed hidden over blognomic, and having a 2-day scramble to find as many as possible. Whoever finds the most “secrets” wins. Only problem is that I would have to take down the site for a day or two in order to implement and test it, and that I have no contingency plan for a tie.

Meh. I don’t like super-short dynasties.

I think it would be refreshing.

I’d also be willing to give the multi-faction dynasty another chance with a stronger ruleset. And 2 factions instead of 3.

[Wakukee] I’m not sure I see how that would be a game of Nomic.

On the subject of short dynasties, though, I was thinking a quick IRC game might be interesting as a one-off (after the enactment of an agreed “we will play the rest of this game on IRC, from a stated date and time” rule through traditional means).

I heard about this one dynasty that was only a day and a half long.

Dynasty ideas that I want to try some day:
- Ancient Rome
- corporate governance (mergers, proxies, boards of directors, maybe even stock trading)

Those are both excellent ideas. I’d be up for a Wall Street dynasty.

I suggest passing the mantle to Purplebeard, not repealing any rules and keeping the current theme.
