Number 3 for Dimensional Stability!

Heh heh heh…

I’m good with any.

Plus, if you want, I can make and upload a veto icon for the next dynasty.

Finally, an arthexis dynasty!

  I am tired of us fighting over victory.

Oh yeah, and I’d like #3.

I’d actually like #1, but that’s apparently hard to implement.

Make my veto icon a “!?” symbol :D

Nothing is hard to implement for me, I am a genius (mostly on fridays).

Oze and Clucky, not gonna pick a favorite theme?

#3 :)

I’m surprised everyone likes #3, despite everyone hating the Monastic Murder Mystery dynasty.

It’s a slightly different everyone. :)

don’t forget you need to vote yourself Arth.

Also I don’t care about the dynasty theme.

Let’s just hope Arth doesn’t go mad with power and become Mad King Arthexis.

I mean, Mad King arthexis.

2 or 3, but leaning more towards 3

What exactly was 2 again?

1) Timeshifting Dynasty: Based on the short story “The Last Question” by Isaac Asimov, the players are a group of AIs that must stop the destruction of the Universe. Several things can be done like making time go faster, slower, rewind it, but these actions create entropy. If the entropy of the universe ever goes over a certain mark, the AI with the lowest entropy wins.

2) Ambiguously Minimalistic Dynasty: Short proposals are declared minimal, and players are rewarded for making minimal proposals, but punished if those proposals are not useful. Player complete to make Emperor made rules shorter (known as Unclean Rules), which gains them points. Players can make their enemies rules “Unclean” by discovering design errors in them.

3) Guess the Theme Dynasty: Only the Emperor knows what the Dynasty is about, and he ain’t telling. Proposals made by the Emperor are known as “Hints” and Players can make “Guess Posts” about the nature of the Dynasty, but they are limited in their number of tries. The first Player to guess what the Dynasty was about wins. 

And looking at them, 2 looks like the best one to me.

I have a plan involving everyone except me idling.

Not that my plan has anything to do with the dynasty ideas.

3 more to quorum, and about 9 hours left.

You did win…    #3

I want #1.

Darth: Kevan already won like that.  See http://blognomic.com/wiki/index.php?title=The_First_Dynasty_of_Geran

Arthexis, if you vote for this, it will reach quorum.

Dynasty #3, please.

3

Or maybe my Veto icon should be a sad face which looks like the against icon :P (IE white box with red borders and a red frowny face?)

how about a smiley face? of a nice red FAIL

Yoda: I have an entirely different plan.

My plan is to propose this as a core rule:

“Darth Cliche may edit the ruleset at any time.”

And wait 12 hours for it to pass.

Who’s going to write the history for this dynasty? Or am I getting too far ahead?

Darth, that would fail.  All proposals need at least 2 for votes to pass.

...dammit. Oh well. Maybe I’ll be able to find someone else deranged enough to vote for it.

Okay, my smiley face veto is ready.  I am uploading it right now.

Or I could do it in a CfJ.

DAGH!!!

Even though an upload path has been set in the Blognomic preferences, I can’t upload.

I will still show the image.

broken to me rod

Okay, this is NOT going well.

Attempting another method.

I got it to work when I clicked the link in my e-mail. . . .

Very Joker-esqe

They suck, but they are new veto icons.

Choose one, or make a new one, and I’ll give it to Trombone to be turned into a veto icon.

I like them.

By the way, 2 hours left.

Oops, misread the clock.

About 7 hours left.

darth don’t use the veto k?

What’s the problem?

Hmm, I think if the border around the red one was a different color, it would be less-likely confused with the X.

I think he’s trying to get it out of his system quick because it will soon be gone forever. . . .

Huh?

Hmm…I’m starting to think that a dynasty based on Tom Lehrer’s songs would be fun…

Agreed, I like the frowny face, b ut a different collored border.

Who’s Tom Lehrer?

Why do we need a new Veto icon?

Tom Lehrer: Guy who wrote such songs as “We Will All Go Together When We Go”, “The Elements”, and other odd songs, often involving nuclear war.

We need a new veto icon because the one we have was made for a specific colour scheme.

I liked the one with the original red edges the best. The black edges are good too.

Tom Lehrer! I totally agree, Rodlen.

In a rush, I used MS Paint, which doesn’t work right on my computer for some reason.

HAHA pink edges are silly, the black edges are good. Tom Lehrer dynasty would be hilarious, “National Brotherhood Week” ftw.

Bringing back the Bomb rule, but with a few lines from We Will All Go Together When We Go, would be great.

Proposal: New Math
Due to a convenient addition error, multiply all citizen’s (equivalent of GG from this dynasty) by 1.5

There isn’t always an equivalent.

Proposal: The Old Dope Peddler
That would create the main “you want a lot of this” stat for the dynasty.

Proposal: Call it, please, research.

Gives some sort of bonus for plagarizing from other proposals and dynasties.

I presume the names of your hypothetical proposals are names or lines from songs made by Tom Lehrer?

The Mad King of the DDA, Qwazukee, vetoes the above proposal because we are all a single organism trying to escape a petri dish.

Rodlen is the Mad King of the DDA, not Qwazukee.

No, no, no, we already were able to get Mad King Anthony as a planar entity.  We don’t need another mad king.

And Darth, you are correct.

I’m no mad king.  I’m the DDA Commander.

I was plagiarizing Rodlen’s title, duh.

Darth was correct about the Lehrer part, not the Mad King part.

Along with several other things.

Well, according to Yoda, you were intentionally keeping your first dynasty at a stop. I consider that to be Mad, and you’re essentially the King by another name (like the Lord Protectors of England), so you are therefore a Mad King from my point of view.

He’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad “King.”

There were a few…issues…with the victory condition planned (abusable in multiple ways).  A few of them, I admit, were minor, but the vetoes were mostly valid.

In Blognomic, the term Mad King refers to someone who vetoes every little proposal made…

Plus, Yoda’s attempt to win had been made before a victory condition was proposed.

Plus, really.  Suddenly becoming extremely angry because of ONE veto on a slightly suspicious proposal (the first victory condition attempt had been vetoed after it was self-killed, and the third was supported, though it was an obvious “I hate hate haet that veto and therefore will do something very weird and useless” proposal.  The second had a minor problem that wasn’t very important, but was why I vetoed (at that time, I thought it was important), but also had a slightly more important flaw that I just noticed looking back in the archives.  Minor flaw: depended on unfinished rules.  Slightly more major flaw: earlier part prevented DDA commander from getting awards, yet later part showed it was intended for the DDA commander to be allowed to get all but four awards.

And sorry about the crazed rant.

Wow, 87 comments.  That was quick.

That’s a lot. I wonder what the record is?

This is the record. The old record was 74.

Come on, let’s get this up to 100!

One more comment added, team.

100 comments would aid in dimensional stability.

I know what to do to get this to about 200 comments:
Let’s play a game of nomic, within this post’s comments.

no.

Why not?

No.

Ok, I join the Gno within “Declaration of Victory: Third time is the WIN.”

PS How did you find out what the record was?

Because.

NO, Qwazukee.
