BlogNomic: The Second Dynasty of Derrick

Hello there BlogNomic, my name is Farsight and I hereby submit my formal intention to become a player. Go easy on me for a while!

Hello, I am ubq323, and I would like to join the game and become a player. (It appears that this dynasty is finishing now so this might be good timing)

The Grand Plan becomes Finalized as I complete my field research into the Lunar Mines, a few small steps from the landing site of the Haniver. GreatX now has Researched or Finished Projects in three Locations; Earth, the Ocean and the Moon.

“If the grand plan is finalized and a single Director has a higher Return on Investment than every other Director, then that Director has achieved victory.” - Naught has an ROI of 0.28, I have an ROI of 0.9.

1 Engineering
1 Robot
2 Publicity
1 Colonist

In “Projects,” replace

*a status (which is either dreamed, posted, secret, both, contracted, or finished, and defaults to dreamed)

with

*a status (which is either dreamed, posted, secret, both, contracted, finished, or researched, and defaults to dreamed)

Zaphod idles out after eight days of inactivity. Quorum drops to 2.

Reword “Endgame” to:-

A Contractor may Research any Posted Project if they are working at the same Site as the Project’s Location, and if they have not already Researched that Project, by paying the Project’s Components from their own Resources and increasing their Funds by $5B.

The Components of Atlantis Arcology are 1-2 T 1-2 C 1-2 I.
The Components of Orbital Ring of Earth are 2-2 R 3-6 T 1-3 I 2-3 P.
The Components of Timbuktu Irrigation are 2-2 R 2-2 B 1-1 P.
The Components of Jakarta Space Elevator are 2-3 T 2-3 E.
The Components of Trans-Atlantic Hypertube are 1-2 T 1-2 R 1-2 E.
The Components of Ceatan De-extinction are 3-5 B 1-3 P.
The Components of West Egypt Irrigation are 2-2 R 2-2 B 1-1 P.
The Components of L5 City are 1-3T 1-3R 2-4C 2-3B 2-4I.
The Components of Lunar Mines are 3-4 R 2-4 I.

Then resolve the Components of each Project as if they were resource ranges, replacing the Components for each Project in the Endgame rule with the corresponding result.

In “Financial Victory”, replace “at least four different Locations” with “at least three different Locations”.

Replace “If there are Finished Projects in at least four different Locations, then the grand plan is finalized” with “If at least four different Locations contain Finished or Researched Projects, then the grand plan is finalized”.

Set the Dormancy rule to “Inactive”.

Set all Dreamed Projects to Posted.

Enact a new rule, “Endgame”:-

A Contractor or the Great Eccentric may resolve any resource range at any time.

A Contractor may Research any Posted contract if they are working at the same Site as the Project’s Location, and if they have not already Researched that Project, by paying the Project’s cost from their own Resources and increasing their Funds by $5B.

Ceatan De-extinction has been awarded to Kevan

The Cost is B5 P3

The Prize is $5B

Make those whales sing once again!
