Someone said Cesna of Destiny

I’m all buckled up, let me join the game. Thanks!

Proposal: Dungeons and Dynasties

Withdrawn. Failed by Brendan.

Adminned at 02 Dec 2021 16:51:16 UTC

Enact a new rule entitled “Power” as follows:

Each Soul has an amount of Power, defaulting to 0.

Enact a new rule entitled “Challenges” as follows:

There exists a list of Challenges, which is publicly tracked, defaulting to an empty list. Each Challenge must have a Dynasty Name, which is flavor text; a Prize, which is the name of a Relic that is not Lost; and a Creator, which is the name of a single Soul.

As a Daily Action, any Dark Soul who holds a Relic may spend 2 Prominence to create a Challenge, an atomic action with the following steps:
* Selecting a Dynasty name from among the Dynasties listed in the “Dynastic history” section of the Main Page of the BlogNomic wiki as of November 28th, 2021, which takes the form of the Dynasty’s emperor’s name (if any) and ordinal designation (such as “The First Dynasty of Myke”, “Myke I” or “The First Metadynasty”).
* Ceasing to hold a single Relic.
* Setting the Dynasty Name of the new Challenge to the Dynasty selected above, setting the Prize of the Challenge to the name of the Relic they just ceased to hold, and setting the Creator of the Challenge to their own name.
* Creating a Story Post which announces the Challenge, optionally including a flavor text description of the Challenge’s nature and perils.

As a Daily Action, if there is a Challenge created by a given Soul in the list of Challenges, that Soul may gain 1 Power.

As a Daily Action, if it has been at least 24 hours since a Dark Soul gained 1 Power from a given Challenge which they created, that Soul may close that Challenge, an atomic action with the following steps:
* Commencing to hold the Relic that was the Prize of the Challenge.
* Deleting the Challenge from the list of Challenges.
* Commenting on the Story Post they made when creating the Challenge to declare it closed.

Enact a new subrule of “Challenging” entitled “Heritage” as follows:

If a Relic is from the same Dynasty as the Dynasty named in a given Challenge, or is from a Dynasty which had the same Emperor as the Dynasty so named, then that Relic is considered to have a Heritage Connection to that Challenge.

Enact a new subrule of “Challenging” entitled “Adventuring” as follows:

At any time, a Mortal Soul may attempt a Challenge in the list of Challenges, if that Soul has Dimension Access to the Dynasty named by that Challenge. Attempting a Challenge is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Making a comment in the Dice Roller specifying a single Challenge which they are attempting.
* Starting with an Attack of 3, a Defense of 0, and a Goal of X, where X is the Power of the Soul who created the Challenge that is being attempted.
* Adding 3 to the Attack for each Armament the Soul holds, or instead adding 6 to the Attack if they hold an Armament with a Heritage Connection to the Challenge.
* Adding 3 to the Defense if the Soul hold a Garb that does not have a Heritage Connection to the Challenge.
* Gaining 1 Prominence if the Soul holds a Tool, or instead gaining 3 Prominence if they hold a Tool with a Heritage Connection to the Challenge.
* Rolling DICEX, where X is their Attack, to yield this attempt’s Chance.
* Adding their Defense to this attempt’s Chance.
* Optionally spending 1 Prominence to increase the Chance by 1.
* If the Chance is greater than the Goal, then the attempt is successful; the Soul gains Prominence equal to the Goal, gains 1 Power, and commences to hold the Relic which is the Prize of the Challenge. The Soul must then delete the Challenge from the list of Challenges and comment on its original Story Post to declare it closed.
* If the Chance is not greater than the Goal, then the attempt is not successful; the Soul loses Prominence equal to their Chance.

Probably too ambitious for a single proposal, but let’s give it a shot. This gives Relics two purposes: Dark Souls can play a push-your-luck game, risking them as long as they choose to build up Power; Mortals can use them to risk their lives on those challenges, with big rewards. Challenges will probably be easy for Mortals at first but will get harder as Dark Souls gain Power.

Proposal: Taxing the rich

Times out 5-4. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 02 Dec 2021 16:48:54 UTC

In rule that is denoted as “Feudal Contract”,

Add a subrule called “Taxation” with the description:

If the day of the week is Saturday on the Blognomic time, the Dark One must reduce each Soul’s Prominence by 10%(rounded down) of each Soul’s respective Prominence. The Dark One may only do this once a day.

Proposal: Departure Gate

If “Stage Door” enacted, replace “As a Daily Action, a Soul with at least 2 Prominence may pay 1 Prominence to change their own Gates by adding or removing a Dynasty name.” with:-

As a Daily Action, a Soul with at least 2 Prominence may pay 1 Prominence to change their own Gates by adding or removing a Dynasty name. A Dynasty name may only be added to a Soul’s Gates in this way if its Stratum is equal to or one greater than the highest Stratum already in that Soul’s Gates. (If a Soul has no names in its Gates, the highest Stratum in its Gates is considered to be zero.)

A Dynasty’s Stratum is equal to the ordinal numeral word in its designation, except for Round One, which has a Stratum of 30.

Remove the names of all Dynasties with Strata above 1 from the Gates of Souls.

Adding a little terrain to the history by requiring dynasties to be accessed in increasing ordinal order (you can’t access somebody’s Third Dynasty until you’ve accessed a Second).

Proposal: Stage Door

Times out 5-1. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 01 Dec 2021 17:25:02 UTC

Add a new subrule of the rule “Dimensions” entitled “Gates” as follows:

Each Soul except the Dark Lord may have a set of Gates, which are publicly tracked, and consist of the distinct names of no more than three Dynasties from among those listed in the “Dynastic history” section of the Main Page of the BlogNomic wiki as of November 28th, 2021. Dynasties named in a Soul’s Gates must be referenced by emperor name (if any) and ordinal designation (such as “The First Dynasty of Myke”, “Myke I” or “The First Metadynasty”). A Soul’s set of Gates defaults to an empty set.

As a Daily Action, a Soul with at least 2 Prominence may pay 1 Prominence to change their own Gates by adding or removing a Dynasty name.

If a given Soul has a Dynasty name in their Gates, they are considered to have Dimension Access that Dynasty. Any Souls who have the name of that given Soul in their Alliance are considered to have Dimension Access to that Dynasty as well. The Dark One has Dimension Access to any Dynasty named in the Gates of any Dark Soul. If there is a Bright Soul, that Soul has Dimension Access to all Dynasties named in any Mortal Soul’s Gates.

Reword the sentence in the rule “Dimensions” that reads “The Dark One has a single Dimension, being one of the past dynasties of BlogNomic” to:

The Dark One has a single Dimension, being one of the past dynasties of BlogNomic, and has Dimension Access to it.

If there is a rule called “Relic Recovery” then reword the text that reads “by selecting a past dynasty of BlogNomic” to:

by selecting a past dynasty of BlogNomic from those to which they have Dimension Access

and reword the text that reads “that appears in the dynastic rules of the Dark One’s Dimension” to:

which appears in the dynastic rules of the Dark One’s Dimension or of a Dynasty to which the Dark Lord has Dimension Access

In “Relic Recovery”, replace “The Dark One may remove a Relic from play if” with:-

The Dark One may change a Relic’s Type to Trinket and make it Lost if

Tying dynastic relics (which are initially uncollectable, as TyGuy observes) into the Lost mechanic.

Proposal: Pay Scale

Passes 7-2. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 30 Nov 2021 04:01:56 UTC

Create a new subrule of the rule “Feudal Contract” entitled “Feudal Rewards” as follows:

When a Proposal written by a given Soul is enacted, that Soul gains 2 Prominence; the enacting Admin should record this change.

Increase by 2 the Prominence of each Soul who has had a Proposal they wrote enacted in this dynasty, unless that Soul includes the text “no thanks” in a comment on this post.

Proposal: The Cessna of Destiny

Passes 9-0. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 30 Nov 2021 04:00:03 UTC

If “Lord of the, uh, Relics” failed, this proposal has no further effect.

To “Relics of Power”, add a subrule, “Relic Recovery”:-

A Mortal Soul who holds no Relics may create a Relic in their possession by selecting a past dynasty of BlogNomic, and gaining a Relic whose Name is a noun (or an adjective-noun phrase) that appears in the dynastic rules of that dynasty, and whose Type and Power are any valid value.

The Dark One may create a Relic in the possession of any Dark Soul who holds no Relics, being a Relic whose Name is a noun (or an adjective-noun phrase) that appears in the dynastic rules of the Dark One’s Dimension, and whose Type and Power are any valid value.

The Dark One may remove a Relic from play if:-
* It is an Armament, but its name is not a kind of weapon
* It is a Garb, but its name is not an item that can be worn
* It is a Tool, but its name is not a type of tool

Rulesets of past dynasties are not considered to be gamestate during this dynasty. For the purposes of the current dynasty, the ruleset of a past dynasty is the version of it (if any) that was archived on the wiki for it, at 00:01 on the 28th of November 2021.

After “that is not also the name of a Soul or idle Soul.”, add:-

A Relic’s Power is flavour text.

Making the Relics into items from past dynasties.

Proposal: Lord of the, uh, Relics

Passes 7-0. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 30 Nov 2021 03:58:15 UTC

Add the following rule, called “Relics of Power”, to the dynastic ruleset:

A Soul may hold zero or more Relics, defaulting to no Relics. A Dark Soul may hold up to three Relics at a time, while a Mortal Soul may hold up to five Relics at a time. The Relics that a Soul is holding, as well as their variables, are publicly tracked. A single Relic may not be held by more than one Soul. A Soul may rearrange the order their held Relics are listed in at any time.

Each Relic has a Name, which is a string of flavour text that is not also the Name of any other Relic; a Type, which is one of Aegis, Armament, Garb, Tool, or Trinket (defaulting to Trinket); and a Power, which is one constellation named in the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Former_constellation#List_of_former_constellations that is not also the name of a Soul or idle Soul.

If a Soul is holding more Relics than they are permitted to hold (see above), the last Relic listed of the Relics that they are holding becomes Lost.

Add the following subrule, called “Lost Relics”, to the rule titled “Relics of Power”.

A Relic can be Lost or not Lost, defaulting to Lost. A Lost Relic cannot be held by any Soul. There is a publicly tracked list of all Lost Relics, called Obscurity. Whenever a Relic is added to Obscurity, it is added to the top of the list.

the idea here is that these are things that will give us benefits of some kind, but that the mortal team is allowed to have more per-person than the dark team (as they’re outnumbered, & the dark team has more ability to co-ordinate). maybe dark souls, being less physical, must seek power through more esoteric means?

a trade offer

a couple souls have voiced displeasure with this dynasty’s asymmetrical/unbalanced design. i for one think it’s very neat and exciting, and encourage everyone to keep an open mind! i understand that coming from the soul with the third greatest contribution that might sound cheap, but i really do mean it: i’d be happy to play as one of the outnumbered underdogs in this dynasty!

so with that in mind, here’s an offer: if there’s a player among the mortals (including u silverwing, if ur checking in?) who feels like they want to enjoy this dynasty, but their fun will be ruined by playing as a mortal, let me know & i’ll post a proposal to swap teams & prominence scores w/ you soon. if there’s multiple requests, i’m sure we can come to an agreement about it. i just don’t want any of y’all to feel too discouraged to play in a dynasty u’d like otherwise– whether i’m with or against them, i do want there to be a few enthusiastically outnumbered heroes!!

Proposal: Casting Quickfix

If https://blognomic.com/archive/casting failed, this Proposal does nothing.

Otherwise, add “is publicly tracked, and” between “a Soul’s Alliance” and “defaults to an empty set” in the rule titled “Alliances”, and add “or being passed the mantle” after “achieving victory” in the rule titled “Mantle Limitations”.

fixing’s Casting’s orphan variable issue + the issue that using it is strongly discouraged under the current rules!

Proposal: As Vast as Space

Reached quorum 10 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 29 Nov 2021 10:15:20 UTC

Enact a new rule, “Dimensions”:-

The Dark One has a single Dimension, being one of the past dynasties of BlogNomic. The Dark One’s Dimension is privately tracked by them, and defaults to The Seventh Dynasty of Brendan.

If the Dark One’s Dimension is The Seventh Dynasty of Brendan, they may change their Dimension to any valid value.

Trying an echo of the dynasties-as-gamestate mechanic from Brendan’s previous dynasty, having the Dark One hiding or gathering power or something in past dynasties, perhaps building up to the Mortals trying to hunt them down.

If a part of the ruleset or gamestate is defined as being “flavour text”, it retains its context, and can be referred to in other places, but is not considered to contain any meaning beyond being a string of characters.

We’ve been referring to rules by name this whole time, though rule names are defined as being flavour text. Time to make it unambiguously legal.

Proposal: The False Levellers

Unpopular at 3-6. Failed by Brendan.

Adminned at 29 Nov 2021 01:30:01 UTC

Divide all Souls’ Prominence by 3, rounding up. For each Soul that was a non-Idle Soul at 22:00:00 on Nov 26, 2021, add 2 to their Prominence.

If “Proposal: Scene-Setting” was not enacted, replace “Prominence” with “Contribution” in the above two sentences.

With only one exception (Lemon) this preserves everyone’s ordinal ranking while making the differences a bit less stark, which will hopefully lead to a smoother start to the dynasty…

Create a new rule entitled “Alliances” as follows:

Each Soul may have an Alliance, which consists of the distinct names of no more than two other Souls; a Soul’s Alliance defaults to an empty set. A Soul may change their Alliance as a daily action. A Mortal Soul may not add the name of any Dark Soul to their Alliance, and a Dark Soul may not add the name of any Mortal Soul to their Alliance.

If a Soul has achieved victory in this dynasty, has posted a Declaration of Victory which has been enacted, and did not change their Alliance for at least the 48 hours immediately prior to the posting time of their Declaration of Victory: then that Soul may pass the mantle to a Soul who was named in their Alliance at the posting time of their Declaration of Victory.

The rule “No Collaborations” does not apply to communications between players who each have the other’s names in their Alliance, nor does the prohibition on deals in “Mantle Limitations” apply to players who have each other’s names in their Alliance.

Proposal: Scene-Setting

Times out 6-3. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 29 Nov 2021 01:18:08 UTC

Replace the term “Contribution” with “Prominence” in the rule “Feudal Contract” and on the dynastic tracking wiki page. Set each Soul’s Prominence to the Contribution that Soul had on Friday, November 26, 2021, at 22:00:00 UTC. Set the Prominence of the Dark Lord to 197.

Create a new rule entitled “Mortality and Darkness” as follows:

Every Soul belongs to either the team Mortals or the team Darkness, by default belonging to the team Mortals; this is publicly tracked. The term “Mortal Soul” is synonymous with “Soul whose team is Mortals.” The term “Dark Soul” is synonymous with “Soul whose team is Darkness.”

Every Soul is either Seen or Unseen, defaulting to Unseen; this is publicly tracked as “Visibility.” If a Soul who is Unseen gains Prominence, that Soul becomes Seen.

If a Soul other than the Dark One is Seen and has zero Prominence, then any player may and should make that Soul Unseen, and when they do so, must simultaneously set that Soul’s team to Mortals (if that Soul was most recently a Dark Soul) or to Darkness (if that Soul was most recently a Mortal Soul).

Assign all Souls with greater than zero Prominence to the team Darkness, and make all such Souls Seen.

Create a new rule entitled “Dark Regard” as follows:

If there is one Mortal Soul whose Prominence is greater than that of each other Mortal Soul, that Soul is Bright.

There may be one Dark Soul who is Favored; this is privately tracked by the Dark One. The Dark One may change the Soul who is Favored at any time. The mantle may be passed between the Dark One and the Soul who is Favored, or vice versa, and the prohibition on deals between players in the rule “Mantle Limitations” does not apply to deals between the Dark One and the Soul who is Favored.

The special case rule “No Collaboration” does not apply to communications among Dark Souls or communications among Unseen Souls.

TLDR: we still have teams, but now all the Heels are more or less Ringwraiths. If you get knocked down from greater-than-0 to 0, you get kicked to the other team. I fully intend to be an unfair emperor who plays favorites.

Proposal: [Core] [Appendix] [Special Case] Official Discordance

Popular at 7-3. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 27 Nov 2021 22:39:49 UTC

Remove the Slack and Slack Channel entries from the appendix.

Replace the Discord Channel entry in the appendix with “A Discord Channel is any channel on the BlogNomic Discord in the BlogNomic Discussion category. All Souls who are in the Discord should have the ability to access all of these channels. To reference a Discord Channel, use a hash (#) followed by the name of that channel (e.g. #random).”

Replace the phrase “the #currentdynasty or #general channels of the BlogNomic Slack” with “Discord Channels”.

Replace all instances of “Slack” in the ruleset with “Discord”.

In addition, remove the text “The Dark One is always permitted to inform the Traitor of their role if the Special Case rule “The Traitor” is active.” from the ruleset.

This has been mooted for a while I think, but now that No Collaboration (which references the Slack) is active, it seems like time to commit to the change.

Ascension Address: Sinners in the Hands of an Angry Blog

Mortal hands cannot be strong when the Dark One rises.

Sometimes an earthly prince meets with a great deal of difficulty to subdue rebels, who have found means to fortify themselves, and have made themselves strong by the numbers of their followers. But it is not so with the Dark One. There is no fortress that is any defense from the power of the Dark. Though hand join in hand, and vast multitudes of his enemies combine and associate themselves, they are easily broken in pieces.

They are as great heaps of light chaff before the whirlwind; or large quantities of dry stubble before devouring flames. You find it easy to tread on and crush a worm that you see crawling on the earth; so it is easy for you to cut or singe a slender thread that anything hangs by: thus easy is it for the Dark One, when he pleases, to cast his enemies down.

For seven times seven mortal dynasties he has lain waiting. For all these long years his rancor has burned as embers beneath ash. What are you that you should think to stand before him, at whose rebuke the earth trembles, and before whom the rocks are thrown down?

Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay.

In time their foot will slip,

for their day of disaster is near,

and their doom is coming quickly.

Replace the term “Eli Curf” with “Dark One” and the term “Realtor” with “Soul” throughout the Ruleset. Change the dynastic tracking page from “The Octagon” to a new page entitled “The Book of Souls” and then create that page.

Repeal all Dynastic Rules except “Mantle Limitations” and “Feudal Contract.”

Deactivate the Special Case Rules “Imperial Deferentials” and “Dynastic Distance.” Activate the Special Case Rules “No Collaboration” and “Malign Emperors.”

Metadynastic discussion

A thread for discussions of this dynasty, heel turns, wrestling, metadynasty tiebreakers, ten-day focused mini-dynasties, and whatever else comes up.

Yesterday at 10:10 UTC I erroneously carried out a fighting action with an illegal step. In the first roll I rolled a Miss; in the second I rolled a Taunt; in the third I rerolled both, mistakenly believing that the Taunt allowed me to reroll the held-over Miss, while in fact there’s no provision in the rule for re-rolling previously held over dice.

The person I targeted with that move has already taken their move, and the person they targeted has now also taken their move, so reverting is at this stage not ideal.

Therefore, please uphold the Fighting action taken by the Realtor called Josh on 23/11/2021 as having been legally completed, and then reduce their Contribution by 1.

I was Up for just about 25 hours and had already taken my Fighting action when I thought to check back on this part of the rules. I couldn’t tell when Silverwing had named me as Up from the Dice Roller timestamps, but TyGuy6 helpfully pointed out that the actual recorded end time of Silverwing’s action was in The Octagon edit history. I could have tried to just keep this under my hat, but I don’t want it to crop up as a nightmare broken-dependency chain later in the dynasty, so I offer this solution in good faith.

Add the following subrule, called “Audience Perception” to the rule “Rowdy Rumble”:

A Realtor can be Over, determined by the quantity of Yays and Boos they have. A Realtor who is The Face, or is on a team with The Face, is Over when they have at least two more Yays than Boos; a Realtor who is The Heel, or is on a team with The Heel, is Over when they have at least two more Boos than Yays.

Add the following step to the Fighting atomic action, immediately after the step which includes the words “Finishing Move”:

* If they are Over and kept a set of die results which corresponds to only four of the five values of their Finishing Move (without considering the order of those results), gaining 4 Contribution

the idea here is that u can accomplish ur finishing move even with 1 mismatch, at only a slight decrease in contribution, if u have a ratio of Yays and Boos that fits yr role!!

Adminned at 21 Nov 2021 09:28:41 UTC

Enact a subrule of “Fighting” entitled “Duels” as follows:

As an atomic action that can only be performed once by each Wrestler, a Wrestler (known as the Instigator) may Duel any one other Wrestler (known as the Target) as follows:
* Replying to a comment by the Target, or mentioning the Target on the BlogNomic Discord, in either case naming that Wrestler as the Target and declaring a Duel
* Posting a comment in the Die Roller naming the Target and indicating that the Duel is underway
* Starting with an individual Duel Total of 0 for the purposes of this Duel
* Rolling five Fight Dice in the Die Roller
* Posting a comment in the Die Roller stating which of the previous step’s die results (if any) they wish to keep: results of “Miss” ‘‘must’’ be kept, unless for each “Miss” result which is not kept a unique “Taunt” result is also not kept
* Rolling X Fight Dice in the Die Roller, where X is equal to 5 minus the number of results kept in the previous step
* Posting a comment in the Die Roller stating which of the previous step’s die results (if any) they wish to keep: results of “Miss” ‘‘must’’ be kept, unless for each “Miss” result which is not kept a unique “Taunt” result is also not kept
* Rolling X Fight Dice in the Die Roller, where X is equal to 5 minus the number of results kept in all previous steps
* Keeping all die results (if any were rolled) from the previous step
* If they kept two or more Punches, adding 1 to their Duel Total
* If they kept two or more Kicks, adding 1 to their Duel Total
* If they kept two or more Grapples, adding 1 to their Duel Total
* If they kept three Leaps and either a Kick, Punch or Grapple, adding 3 to their Duel Total
* If they kept a set of die results which corresponds exactly to the sequence of their Finishing Move (without considering the order of those results), adding 5 to their Duel Total
* If they kept any Taunts and have already added at least 1 to their Duel Total during this Duel action, adding 1 to their Duel Total
* Posting a comment to the Dice Roller summing their Duel Total as determined by the foregoing steps

Once a Wrestler has been made the Target in such a Duel action, they may respond by performing the same atomic action, substituting the following step for the first and second steps above:
* Posting a comment in the Die Roller naming the Instigator they are responding to, and indicating that their response is underway

Once both an initial Duel action and a response to it have both been concluded, if the Instigator’s Duel Total for a given Duel was greater than or equal to the Target’s Duel Total in the response for that Duel, then the Instigator gains 1 Contribution and the Target loses 1 Contribution; otherwise, the Target gains 2 Contribution and the Instigator loses 2 Contribution.

You can check it for scams if you want, but this is just a straight copy and paste of the Fighting action, with the changes from “Mixing It Up” incorporated and “gain X Contribution” replaced by “adding X to their Duel Total.” I promise Duel Total isn’t an orphan variable, it’s determinable in a straightforward way from the Dice Roller.

A Face Promo is a Promo which mentions a Wrestler who is named Brendan or mentions a Wrestler who shares a team with the Wrestler named Brendan; a Heel Promo is a Promo which mentions the Wrestler who is named TyGuy6 or mentions a Wrestler who shares a team with the Wrestler named TyGuy6. (While some degree of in-character ad hominem attack may be expected in a promo, Wrestlers should still otherwise abide by the BlogNomic Community Guidelines when considering what language to use.)

being a Realtor that they do not share a Team with and who is not Up. Additionally, a Realtor (the pick) may not be chosen to be an opponent if there exists another Realtor on the Pick’s team whose Turns is less than the turns of the Pick by two or more.

in the Fighting atomic action, add the following step immediately before the “Ceasing to be a Realtor who is Up, then making their Opponent a Realtor who is Up” step:

A Leader may freely reduce their Angle to increase the Gas of a Realtor on their team by the same amount. At any time, a Leader may notify their Team or any member in it of changes that have been made to the Angle or Gas of any member of their Team.

A Fan who has no team, or who is on a team that shares that Fan’s name and which has only one member, is considered to be undrafted.

Replace the phrase “adding to their own team a Fan who has no team” in the rule “Realtor Rumble” with the following:

adding to their own team an undrafted Fan

Reword the sentence “Whenever a Realtor becomes unidle for the first time in this dynasty they are added to the team of the Wrestler who would have been next to pick in the initial snake draft” in the rule “Realtor Rumble” as follows:

Whenever a Fan becomes unidle for the first time in this dynasty, if that Fan is the only undrafted Fan, they are added to the team of the Wrestler who would have been next to pick in the initial snake draft; this is considered to advance the pick order of that initial snake draft.

To catch up from comments and discord discussion: only players who are do not have a team can be drafted; “Masking Up” reset the draft but also put everyone on their own team; the snake draft can’t start until there is someone without a team to be drafted. Per Josh, this is a time-limited metadynasty, so a CfJ seems reasonable.

Notice

The unnamed rule says “Whenever a Realtor becomes unidle for the first time in this dynasty they are added to the team of the Realtor who would have been next to pick in the initial snake draft.”. This is agnostic about whether the snake draft has started.

Accordingly, Kevan has been added to Brendan’s team and Darknight has been added to TyGuy’s, making it TyGuy’s turn again.

If Proposal: King of the Ring was not enacted, this proposal has no effect.

Add the following to the end of the second paragraph in the rule Realtor Rumble:

All Idle Realtors may be referred to as Members of the Audience.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Rowdy Rumble:

Members of the Audience may carry out Audience Actions. Each Audience Action has a wind-up, which must be a non-negative integer; a Member of the Audience can only carry out an Audience Action if they have not carried out an Audience Action in the preceding X days, where X is the wind-up for the Audience Action they are carrying out.

*Each Realtor has a publicly tracked number of Yays or Boos, with a starting value of zero; as an Audience Action with a wind-up of 1, a Member of the Audience may add a Yay or a Boo to the Realtor who us Up.
*As an Audience Action with a wind-up of 2, an Audience Member may Chant by posting their Chant in the comments to the dice roller. When the Realtor who was Up when the Chant was posted next rolls a Fighting Dice, they may reroll any “Miss” results that they have from preceding Fight Dice rolls in the same Fighting action.
*As an Audience Action with a wind-up of 3, an Audience Member may Goad by making a Story Post to the blog, whose title has the format of “Goading on Y” where Y is the name of a single Realtor who is not currently Up. Once, within 24 hours of having been named as the subject of a Goading Action, a Realtor may take a Fighting Action without being Up, omitting only the last step of that Atomic Action.
*As an Audience Action with a wind-up of 5, an Audience Member may Throw a Chair by making a Story Post to the blog, whose title has the format of “Throwing a Chair to Y” where Y is the name of a single Realtor. The next time that Realtor takes a Fighting action, they may select any Realtor to be Up at the end of their Action instead of their Opponent.

Enact a new rule, “Fighting”:-

A single Realtor may be Up: their identity, if they exist, is publicly tracked.

A Fight Die is a six-sided die with sides of {Punch,Kick,Grapple,Leap,Taunt,Miss}.

The Realtor who is Up may performing the following atomic action, known as Fighting:

* Posting a comment in the Die Roller naming a single Opponent, being a Realtor that they do not share a Team with
* Rolling five Fight Dice in the Die Roller
* Posting a comment in the Die Roller stating which of the previous step’s die results (if any) they wish to keep: results of “Miss” ‘‘must’’ be kept
* Rolling X Fight Dice in the Die Roller, where X is equal to 5 minus the number of results kept in the previous step
* Posting a comment in the Die Roller stating which of the previous step’s die results (if any) they wish to keep: results of “Miss” ‘‘must’’ be kept
* Rolling X Fight Dice in the Die Roller, where X is equal to 5 minus the number of results kept in all previous steps
* Keeping all die results (if any were rolled) from the previous step
* If they kept three Punches, three Kicks or three Grapples, gaining 1 Contribution
* If they kept three Leaps and either a Kick, Punch or Grapple, gaining 3 Contribution
* If they kept three Leaps and no Kick, Punch or Grapple, losing 3 Contribution (to a minimum of zero)
* Ceasing to be the Realtor who is Up, then making their Opponent the Realtor who is Up

If a step of the above action requires a Realtor to roll zero dice, they may skip it. Within a Fight action, references to kept dice refer only to dice kept within that action.

Make either Brendan or TyGuy6 the Realtor who is Up, selecting at random.

Bare bones of a King of Tokyo / Yahtzee combat system.

Proposal: Masking Up

Popular at 9-0. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 15 Nov 2021 15:55:51 UTC

Rename the unnamed dynastic rule to “Realtor Rumble”. Change the rule “Realtor Rumble” to read:

In this dynasty, only Wrestlers may achieve Victory. If any other Realtor achieves Victory then they have instead not achieved Victory. This dynasty has no Eli Curf.

The Realtor called Brendan may also be referred to as the Heel. The Realtor called TyGuy6 may also be referred to as the Face. The Heel and the Face are both Wrestlers. Each Realtor who is not a Wrestler may be referred to as a Fan.

Each Realtor may be on up to one team; this is publicly tracked. Each Wrestler is the captain of their team, and may rename their team, so long as the new name is different from any other team’s name. (The names of teams are flavour text.)

As soon as possible, the Heel and the Face should conduct a public snake draft in the comments to a story post posted for that purpose, with the Heel picking first, adding to their own team a Fan who has no team, and the Face doing so next, then swapping the order of picking, etc., until each Fan is on a team captained by a Wrestler.

Whenever a Realtor becomes unidle for the first time in this dynasty they are added to the team of the Wrestler who would have been next to pick in the initial snake draft.

Each Realtor has a Contribution score, which is a non-negative integer that defaults to zero. When the Heel or the Face achieves Victory in this dynasty they are encouraged to retain the Contribution scores of their team and ensure that they confer meaningful advantages to their holders in the next dynasty.

Remove all Realtors from any team, then put each Wrestler on a team named after their own player name.

I’m not sure what our team status is, currently, seeing how no teams have been created, but the rule says every Realtor is on one. So this is partly just to make teams and the snake draft less ambiguous.

Also giving us names for the two sub-categories of Realtors: Wrestlers and Fans.

Add a new rule called “Showdown”:

If it is past 23:59 UTC 28 November 2021 and no Realtor has done the Atomic Action named “Finale”, any Realtor may perform the following Atomic Action named “Finale”:
- Roll a DICE2.  On a 1, the Heel achieves victory.  On a 2, the Face achieves victory.

Another take on a time limit, complete with a placeholder decider.

Story Post: It’s all fake anyway, right? ...right?

WE’RE DOING THIS! This Story Post will host the snake draft comments. Go ahead, Brendan!

I want a good, clean fight. No grammar tricks, unless they’re on point. To make a specific example, I don’t want to hear anything about “with the Heel picking first, selecting from the other Realtors in the game, until each Realtor in the same is in one or the others’ team” meaning that Brendan gets to pick everyone to his team in the first round of the snake draft!

Rename the unnamed dynastic rule to “Realtor Rumble”.

If no DoV has been enacted by 23:59 UTC on 28 November 2021 then any Realtor may remove the first two sentences of the rule Realtor Rumble.

Ascension Address: The Realtor Slam

TWO REALTORS ENTER. ONE REALTOR LEAVES.

To unidling players: this is intended to be a short, sharp metadynasty, resolving a tie from the dynasty that preceded it. It should have some fun team dynamics and will hopefully be fun to play, but as it stands, only Brendan or TyGuy can win it. If that doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, not to worry - another one should be along in a week or two.

If Declaration of Victory: Coffins are for Closers was enacted, this CfJ does nothing. If it or any other DoVs are pending, fail them.

If Call for Judgment: Final Rewards or Call for Judgment: Well Played have been enacted, revert their changes; if either are still pending, fail them.

The Eli Curf named Trapdoorspyder ceases to be the Eli Curf.

Start a new Metadynasty by removing all dynastic rules except the rule called Mantle Limitations, and by posting an Ascension Address with the title of “The Realtor Slam” and following body text:

TWO REALTORS ENTER. ONE REALTOR LEAVES.

Add the following as a new rule to the ruleset:

In this dynasty, only the Realtors called Brendan or TyGuy6 may achieve Victory. If any other Realtor achieves Victory then they have instead not achieved Victory. This dynasty has no Eli Curf.

The Realtor called Brendan may also be referred to as the Heel. The Realtor called TyGuy6 may also be referred to as the Face.

Each Realtor is a member of a team; the teams are each captained by either the Heel or the Face, and the Heel and the Face may name their teams as they please, although the names of the teams are flavour text. Each Realtor’s team is publicly tracked.

As soon as possible, the Heel and the Face should conduct a public snake draft in the comments to a story post posted for that purpose, with the Heel picking first, selecting from the other Realtors in the game, until each Realtor in the same is in one or the others’ team. They should then update public tracking so that each Realtor’s team information is correct.

Whenever a Realtor becomes unidle for the first time in this dynasty they are added to the team of the Realtor who would have been next to pick in the initial snake draft.

Each Realtor has a Contribution score, which is a non-negative integer that defaults to zero. When the Heel or the Face achieve Victory in this dynasty they are encouraged to retain the Contribution scores of their team and ensure that they confer meaningful advantages to their holders in the next dynasty.

Change the page for publicly tracked information in the rule Dynastic Tracking to be this page.

We have a weird situation here, where Brendan has a good scam - a great scam, even - that may not work for purely technical reasons; but the person who would win if it fails doesn’t really deserve it.

Fortunately as ais523 once said, we have a perfectly good mechanism for determining who has won BlogNomic; it’s called a dynasty.

In this situation I propose a short, fun tie-break dynasty. I’m removing myself from contention - I was idle, I didn’t have a scam, I didn’t have the most RP, all I had was a lucky dice roll - so that the two players who really deserved to win The First Dynasty of Trapdoorspyder can duke it out.

The Realtor named Brendan has achieved victory in the current Dynasty. He may post a Declaration of Victory even if he has previously posted one which failed with at least one AGAINST vote in the last 120 hours.

It may be that doing so was incorrect, per Brendan’s DoV, but that possibly doesn’t matter; the thing that confers victory is TDS’s determination, and they determined me, so I have achieved Victory and no-one else has, as things stand.

Adminned at 12 Nov 2021 00:09:39 UTC

Reword the paragraph of the rule “REALTOR Points” that begins “If it is on or after…” as follows:

If it is on or after Sunday November 14th 2021, then no Dynastic Actions may be taken, and Eli Curf may randomly determine the REALTOR PRIME. This shall be accomplished by rolling DICEX, where X is the total number of RP held by all Realtors who have least 1 RP. No Realtor will be considered to have more than 16 RP for the purposes of this roll. The roll will correspond to a Realtor whose position in the list of Realtors matches their proportion of the total X, starting with the first Realtor in alphabetical order. That Realtor is thus determined to be REALTOR PRIME.

If Eli Curf has determined a REALTOR PRIME, then the REALTOR PRIME achieves and has achieved Victory in the current dynasty.

If all EVCs which are FOR on this Proposal contain the text “get it over with” then do not make that change to the rule “REALTOR Points” and instead replace the phrase “Sunday November 14th 2021” in that rule with “Wednesday November 10th 2021.”

With fifty-something hours left in the dynasty and no other pending Proposals, it is not mathematically feasible for any player to catch up to TyGuy6’s lead using the existing rules. It would be a shame to have those mechanics be completely pointless right up to the end. Instead of establishing a single victor by first-past-the-post metrics, this gives a minor chance at victory to each player who has committed to actually playing things out. TyGuy6 will almost certainly still be the winner, but if you are not TyGuy6, this option is very much in your self-interest!

Remove all Traps from all Houses. If any Realtor has more than 16 RP, set that Realtor’s RP to 16, then distribute the RP removed in this way evenly among all other Realtors with fewer than 16 RP.

A proposal just timed out with only two countable votes cast on it.

Call for Judgment: Day and Night

Timed out and enacted, 5-2. Josh

Adminned at 05 Nov 2021 09:07:00 UTC

A dispute has arisen in an auction post about the legality of Day and Night actions (hereafter Auction Actions) when the author is the auctioneer.

The relevant passage of the ruleset is:

The Realtor who posted each Auction is the Auctioneer for that Auction. An Auction’s Auctioneer may not make a Valid Bid on it, although they may undertake Day or Night actions on it.

A Bid is defined as a comment that ‘contains a single, whole number’, while a Auction Action is defined as a ‘single comment in one of the formats in the following list’, all of which contain the addresses being affected and, therefore, a single, whole number. It is not possible to modify the Auction Action to get around this, as the format of the action comment is prescribed. An auction action therefore is also always a bid.

TyGuy’s argument is that, as the Auctioneer on the Auction, I therefore can’t carry out the Auction Action as the Auction Action is also a bid and I can’t make bids. My argument is twofold:
1) If it is true that an Auction Action is always both a Bid and an Auction Action (and it seems like that’s the case), then the Bid may be illegal, but that doesn’t mean that the Auction Action is illegal as well. The rule explicitly says “An Auction’s Auctioneer [...] may undertake Day or Night actions on it”, and the principle established elsewhere in the ruleset is that the game can selectively accept the legal parts of a text while rejecting the illegal parts of it.

2) If we apply the rule that way consistently then we have… problems. For example: Jumble should have won this auction with a bid of 100, or have been prevented from Repairing due to not having enough Bucks to make the Auction Action comment. It might mean that Auction Actions are all actually illegal, as Auction Actions can only be made when an Auctioneer has no Valid Bid; but if they themselvesare a Valid Bid then the status of those actions becomes very hazy and probably illegal.

The remedy, then, is to make the rule work as intended, I think: uphold that all Day or Night Actions to have taken place prior to the posting of this CfJ were legally carried out, except for those to have been made illegal by a previous CfJ. Uphold my Day Action in this auction post. In the rule Whose to Sell, after the text ‘which contains a single, whole number’, add ‘and is not in the format of a Day or Night Action’.

Reduce the Bucks of all Realtors by 75. In the rule Bucks, change the number 100 to 45 and remove the second sentence from the rule. If any Realtor has increased the Bucks of all Realtors thanks to an atomic action since this proposal was posted, revert that change. If the enactment of this proposal would require that any Realtor have their Bucks set to a negative value then instead set their Bucks to zero and remove them as the Seller from any properties for which they are the Seller.
