The proposal that added it only triggered if Manifest Dynasty passed. It didn’t. (Also this one with the same name didn’t either: http://blognomic.com/archive/manifest_destiny/)

That rule should’ve never been added, Josh should’ve never been able to lose his councilman. I’ve reverted the change.

Quorum remains 5.

In the ‘Cycles’ rule add the following text:

The Net will post a reminder two (2) hours before the aforementioned one-hour window.

I’ve joined today and plan to leave my mark ;-)

Why did the Net delete the rule “Cycle Resolutions” and replace it with a redundant institution list?

In the rule “Institutions”, replace the effect of The Mob with:-

When specifying Directions to the Net, a Player may nominate a Player to be Hit, optionally specifying either a Military or Civilian Target. When a Player influences The Mob, the Player they nominated to be Hit loses either 1 Marine (if a Military Target was specified) or 1 Councilman (for a Civilian or unspecified Target) at the end of the resolution for that cycle, after any costs associated to directing resources have been paid.

If the Mob becomes Unpowered as a result of this change, make it Powered.

In the rule “Institutions”, replace “Immediately before Player would Influence an Institution that is the target of Slave Riots, 1 Marine or 5 Credits (taking whichever penalty corresponds to the resource allocated to the institution) is lost from their resources and removed from their allocation. If, subsequently, they no longer have sufficient resources allocated to that Institution for that cycle to Influence it, then the Institution is uninfluenced and remains the target of Slave Riots, but if they still have sufficient resources allocated to Influence the Institution then it is Influenced as normal and the Slave Riots are dispersed.” with:-

If a Player would influence an Institution that is the target of Slave Riots, and if they directed fewer than 6 Credits and fewer than 2 Marines at it, then the Institution is not Influenced, the Player loses all Resources they Directed at it that Cycle, the Institution is no longer the target of Slave Riots, and the Net must announce this event to all Players.

If Proposal: Manifest Destiny passed, add the following as a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Amnesty:

In their directions for the cycle ending May 18th, Players may specify a number of Councilmen that they possess to be subject to a Councilmen Amnesty. When that cycle is resolved, each player loses that number of Councilmen and gains an amount of credits equal to the total number of Councilmen sacrificed by all players as part of this Amnesty for each Councilmen they lost in this way.

In the Institution called “The Public” replace

In addition, during the next cycle, they may once send the Net a message containing the word CONTROL, in all caps, listing X Institutions

with

In addition, during the next cycle, they may once send the Net a message containing the word CONTROL, in all caps, listing X distinct Powered Institutions

Watchtower:

In the rule entitled “Cycle Resolution”, replace the following text:

where Y is equal to the total amount of Power owned by all other players combined,

With the following:

where Y is equal to the Power of the player (or players, if they are tied) with the greatest Power valiue immediately prior to this bonus being calculated,

Throughout the ruleset, wherever the text

X is to the number of active players

appears, replace it with

X is equal to the number of active players

In the rule “cycle resolution”, replace the text

If each claim made by the player who influenced the Public last Cycle in their Control message was accurate, or if this is the final Cycle of the Dynasty: first, if a single Player has more Councilmen than every other player, that player gains an amount of Power equal to Y/X, where Y is equal to the total amount of Power owned by all other players combined, and X is to the number of active players.
