Add the following paragraph to the end of rule 2.2 “Drunkenness”: As a weekly action, an Earthling can reduce their AC by 2, as long as their AC is 2 or more. |

| Paradox |
So, suppose there’s a Citizen with higher Clearance than the rule “Information Clearance”. Unfortunately, the rule forgets to exclude itself; thus, for the purposes of rule 2.1.1.1, a Citzen with higher Clearance than rule 2.1.1.1 is not a Citizen, according to rule 2.1.1.1; except that this cancels the effect of… |

| Spam vs. good play |
I have a scam that allows me (alone) to get up to ULTRAVIOLET clearance, but it’s very spammy (it’ll require me to make six story posts). Should I do it anyway? Or shall I just demonstrate one round of the scam and become ULTRAVIOLET by CFJ, or something? Or something… |

| Historical loose ends |
I’ve been looking through recent dynastic histories to see if there was anything missing (like the Theme of arthexis’ dynasty…) I assume that given that it’s well over a year ago now, there’s no harm in revealing this now, so: could anyone who played through the Fourth Metadynasty reveal what… |

| Leader’s Debate: New Players |
The current leaders are Ienpw III, Kevan, and Josh (purely because I voted to break the tie for third; I’ll unvote after making this post). Leading candidates are invited to comment on how their dynasty would treat new players. Would it be a grind, where new players have pretty much… |

It seems to me that what’s happening at the moment is a big discussion over who should take the next dynasty, what the theme should be, etc. BlogNomic has a perfectly good way to settle who the leader of a dynasty should be; it’s known as a dynasty. Also, apparently… |

| Next dynasty discussion |
Although I have a few ideas for a dynasty, I may not have time to run an upcoming dynasty unless it requires an unusually low amount of Emperor attention. I can probably create a dynasty like that, but I’ve been thinking of passing the mantle. Darth Cliche and Ienpw both… |

| Raiding, week 4 |
Nobody at all tried raiding last week; it’s as if everyone was scared or something. New Treasury contents: 120 Iron, 120 Wood, 60 Quicksilver, 60 Caffeine, 36 Cogs, 12 Gems, with a Guard Level of 11. Feel free to discuss your raid here. |
