In the rule “The Thieves”, add a subrule rule named “General Fund” with the following text:

There is a publicly-tracked integer named “General Fund” that defaults to 20.

Whenever a Thief would gain Florins, the activity that generated that gain is known as a Circulation if is one of the following:
* A Haul Split
* Taking Florins from another Thief
* Destroying a Pouch
* Removing a Possession from that Thief’s Inventory

If a Thief would gain Florins from an activity that is not a Circulation, that number of Florins must first be subtracted from the General Fund. If the General Fund would become less than 0 from this subtraction, the subtraction is not performed and the Thief gains 0 Florins instead.

In the subrule “Distribution”, add the following after the text “some or all of the Thieves”:

, as well as the General Fund

In the same subrule, after the text “Move the contents of the Haul to the Thieves in the manner specified by this common Proposition;” add this text:

this is known as a Haul Split.

In “The Haul” replace:
* “Add DICE20 Florins to the Haul” with “Add 1 Florin to the Haul”
* “Make a blog post in the Story Post Votable Matter category announcing the contents of the Haul; this is known as a Haul post” with “Make a blog post in the Story Post Votable Matter category, announcing the contents of the Haul and what each Thief’s plan was; this is known as a Haul post”.

Uphold that Story Post: Haul: The Milliner was not validly created and has no effect as a Haul post. Uphold that the atomic action that would have created that post was not started and revert all of its steps.

When its lock is broken open back at the garret, the takings chest of the hatmaker is found to contain 33 Florins and an Unappraised Gem.

In the rule ‘The Thieves’, replace “Each Thief has a number of Florins, and an inventory list of Possessions.” with

Each Thief has a number of Florins, an inventory list of Possessions, and a Notoriety Level.

In the rule ‘Possessions’, replace “At any time a Thief may remove a Possession from their own inventory to gain Florins equal to its Value.” with

At any time a Thief may take an action known as Selling, to remove a Possession from their own inventory to gain Florins equal to its Value.

Add a new rule after Containers named ‘Notoriety’ with the following text:

Every Thief has a Level of Notoriety, which defaults to -5. Every time a Thief Sells a Possession from their own inventory, they gain 1 Notoriety Level for every Florin they receive. If a Thief’s Notoriety is above 0, then they must roll DICE(50-NOTORIETY) every time they Sell a Possession. If the result is 1, then they are Caught and 50% of their Florins, rounded up, are distributed evenly amongst all other Thieves, with any remaining Florins lost.

Enact a new rule with the title “Gambling”

If there is no current Gamble, as a daily action, a thief can publicly create a Gamble and enter it by spending one Gold Ring.

If there is a current Gamble, as a daily action, a thief not in the Gamble can enter the Gamble by publicly spending one Gold Ring and specifying privately to the City to either defect or cooperate. This closes the Gamble, allowing another to be created.

The first thief to enter the now closed Gamble can then specify privately or publicly whether to defect or cooperate.

Once both thieves have chosen to defect or cooperate, the City will publish the outcome: If both thieves cooperate, they each get 8 Florins. If only one thief defects, they get 11 Florins, and the other thief gets 3 florins. If both thieves defect, they both get 5 Florins.

Thieves in Gambles are tracked Publicly, but their choices are not.

Rename the Rule “Containers” to “Pouches”.

Add a new rule after “Pouches” named “Chests” with the text

Each Thief has a chest, which can contain 2 Possessions. As a daily action, a thief may Take Inventory.

Taking inventory is one of

- privately viewing and publicly taking one possession out of their chest

- privately viewing the contents of their chest

- privately viewing and publicly putting one possession into their chest.

Amend the effect of Lockpick to be “A thief may use a lockpick to make Taking Inventory entirely private and also able to operate on others’ chests.”

In the rule ‘The Thieves’, replace “Each Thief has a number of Florins, and an inventory list of Possessions.” with

Each Thief has a number of Florins, an inventory list of Possessions, and a Notoriety Level.

In the rule ‘Possessions’, replace “At any time a Thief may remove a Possession from their own inventory to gain Florins equal to its Value.” with

At any time a Thief may take an action known as Selling, to remove a Possession from their own inventory to gain Florins equal to its Value.

Add a new rule after Containers named ‘Notoriety’ with the following text:

Every Thief has a Level of Notoriety, which defaults to -5. Every time a Thief Sells a Possession from their own inventory, they gain 1 Level of Notoriety. If a Thief’s Notoriety is above 0, then they must roll DICE(100-NOTORIETY) every time they Sell a Possession. If the number is 1, then they are Caught and must pay 50%, rounding up, of their current florins to the City.

In the rule “Containers”, replace “comprised of a combination of 5 symbols (from those found on this page)” with:-

of “X Pouch” (where X is a Pouch Style, or two different Pouch Styles separated by a space)

Add a new paragraph to that rule:-

The Pouch Styles are: Amber, Auburn, Battered, Beige, Black, Brown, Buttoned, Cerise, Cloth, Concealed, Crimson, Dirty, Drab, Drawstring, Dusty, Embroidered, Fawn, Frayed, Grey, Hidden, Inkstained, Jute, Khaki, Leather, Mahogany, New, Ochre, Old, Patchwork, Quilted, Ragged, Red, Rough, Scarlet, Scuffed, Sequined, Shabby, Sheepskin, Slim, Small, Tan, Tattered, Threadbare, Torn, Ugly, Umber, Vermilion, Weathered, Worn and Yellow.

If any Pouches exist, assign each of them a different, random single-Style name.

To the first paragraph of “Distribution”, add:-

Where a Thief says in a comment on a Haul post that they “agree” with another Thief, and offers no distribution in the same comment, this is taken as a suggested distribution that matches the Proposition of the named Thief for that Haul, at the time of the comment (if such a Proposition exists).

Add a new rule called “Attitudes” with the following text:

Each Thief has an Attitude, privately tracked by the City and defaulting to “One of Us”. An Attitude has a Description that contains the rules the apply to each Thief that has that Attitude. As a Weekly Action, a Thief may change their Attitude by privately communicating to the City their new Attitude.

In the Description, an Attitude may have an Action, which is performed by the City during the Distributing atomic action.

The valid Attitudes are listed in the table below:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Attitude || Description
|-
| One of Us || You cannot achieve victory. Action: This Thief gains 2 Florins.
|-
| Best Mates || Action: This Thief gains 1 Florin for each Thief that does not also have this Attitude.
|-
| Solo Act || Action: Secretly randomly choose another Thief and secretly roll DICE4 - 1, then subtract the result from that Thief's Florins, to a minimum of 0, and add the amount actually subtracted to this Thief's Florins.
|}

In the rule “The Haul”, add the following bullet point just before the last bullet point in the atomic action of Distributing:

* Perform the Action of the Attitude of each Thief, if there are any to perform, doing so by secretly randomly choosing the order of Thieves in which to process each Thief’s Attitude. Any gains or losses are in addition to the previous steps of this instance of this atomic action.

A simple smash and grab down at the clockmaker’s on Tanner Street brings in 18 Florins and a Lockpick.

Add a new rule entitled “The Scheme”, with the following text:

Each Thief has a Role which is publicly tracked and defaults to none. The possible Roles are:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Role !! Effect
|-
| Leader || -
|-
| Picking locks || -
|-
| Lookout || -
|-
| Carrying the Haul || -
|-
|}

In “The Haul”, add the following as the second-to-last step of Burglary:

Create the new Scheme by selecting the Leadership Role and two other random distinct Roles and adding them to the Scheme

In “Distribution”, add the following as the second-to-last step of the Distribution atomic action:

Set the Role of each Thief mentioned in this common Proposition in the manner specified in; set the Roles of the Thieves who are not mentioned to none;

Throughout the rule “The Haul” and its subrules but excluding the description of the Distribution action, replace all instances of “the contents of the Haul” with

the contents of the Haul and the Roles of the Scheme

In “Distribution”, replace “Such responses must unambiguously identify where every element of the Haul’s contents would go.” with

Such responses must unambiguously identify where every element of the Haul’s contents would go and to whom each of the Scheme’s Roles should be assigned.

In the Core rule “Dynasties” add a subrule named “Player Style” with the following text:

There is a gamestate variable named “Player Style” which defaults to empty and is automatically set to empty immediately after the end of an Interregnum. Player Style is only publicly tracked when it is not empty; otherwise it is implicitly privately tracked by the City. At any time when BlogNomic is not on Hiatus, Player Style may be set through the successful enactment of a Proposal.

When not empty, the contents of Player Style are nonbinding advisory statements on how Thieves expect each other to play the current dynasty. Thieves are encouraged to set the Player Style to statements that indicate the level of competitiveness, strictness of rule interpretation, and any other descriptive qualities that might affect how one Thief interprets the intentions of another Thief’s actions.

Thieves are encouraged to follow the general theme of the statements conatined in Player Style and to have public discussions when they feel that other Thieves are not meeting the expectations of those statements.

Add a new rule called “The Plan”

Each Thief has a Plan, which is privately tracked by the City and defaults to Standard. A Thief may change their plan at any time by privately messaging the City what they want their new plan to be

Each Plan has a name, which is flavor text used to reference and track the plan, and an effect. The possible plans are tracked in the table below


{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Name || Effect
|-
| Standard || The city adds 1DICE3 Florins to the haul
|-
| Pocket || You gain 1 Florin
|-
| Cash || If you have at least 2 Florins when the Burglary is run, lose 2 Florins and the city adds 2DICE5 Florins to the haul
|-
| Stuff || If you have at least 3 Florins when the Burglary is run, lose 3 Florins and the city adds an additional Possession to the haul
|}


In “The Haul” replace “Add DICE20 Florins to the Haul” with “Add 1 Florin to the Haul” and “Make a blog post in the Story Post Votable Matter category announcing the contents of the Haul and what each Theif’s plan was; this is known as a Haul post”.

Then add the step “Apply the Effect of each Thief’s plan (with the ‘you’ referring to the Thief whose plan it is)” as the first step of the Burglary and the step “Reset each Thief’s plan to Standard” as the final step of the Burglary.

Do you focus on yourself, get 1 for sure, help out the group and on average give +2 that might or might not come back to you, or go all out and actually put some skin in the game even though you still might be cut out in the end?

If there is no rule called “The Haul” this proposal has no effect

In “The Haul” replace “the City may perform the following atomic action, known as Burglary:-” with “and it has been at least 44 hours since this action was last performed, the City may perform the following atomic action, known as Burglary:-”

Add the following to the end of “The Haul”:

A Haul post is Open if its status is not enacted.

Change “If the Haul is empty” to “If no Open Haul post exists”.

Create a subrule of “The Haul” named “Defectors” with the following body:

If there is an Open Haul post, a Thief may Defect at any time by sending a private message to the City (via Discord or the blog) announcing their intent to do so.

Thieves who have Defected may be referred to as Defectors.

Add the following step to the beginning of the Distribution action:

* If only one Thief has Defected since the creation of this Haul post, move the contents of the Haul to them and skip the next step;

Change the second step of that action to the following:

* Move the contents of the Haul to the Thieves in the manner specified by this common Proposition. If any elements would go to a Defector, instead keep them in the Haul;

In the Appendix rule Spelling and Formatting, change “the Ruleset and their own Pending Votable Matters” to “the Ruleset, the Building Blocks page, and their own Pending Votable Matters”.

Add the following as a subrule of Possessions, called Containers:

Each Thief may have a number of Pouches.

A Pouch is a Possession that is used to contain Florins. Each individual Pouch is unique, and must have a name comprised of a combination of 5 symbols (from those found on this page) that has not been used as the name of another Pouch in this dynasty. The value of a Pouch is equal to the number of Florins used to create it and must be greater than 0; the value of each individual Pouch is privately tracked by the City. All Pouches have no effect.

As a daily action, a Thief may Sort their Pouches. Sorting Pouches is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Destroy all of their existing Pouches by removing them from their inventory, and gaining Florins equal to their value;
* Spend any number (greater than zero) of Florins, and create a new Pouch in their inventory with a valid name and a valid Value equal to the number of number of Florins so spent;
* Send a personal message to the City detailing the Pouches destroyed and created, with the new values of the latter.

Enact a new rule, “The Haul”:-

The Haul contains a list of Possessions and a number of Florins.

If the Haul is empty, the City may perform the following atomic action, known as Burglary:-

• Add DICE20 Florins to the Haul
• Select a random type of Possession and add one instance of it to the Haul
• Make a blog post in the Story Post Votable Matter category announcing the contents of the Haul; this is known as a Haul post

Enact a subrule to “The Haul” called “Distribution”:-

A Thief may respond to a Haul post with a comment that includes a single suggested distribution of the contents of the Haul among one, some or all of the Thieves. Such responses must unambiguously identify where every element of the Haul’s contents would go. The most recent such response made by a Thief on a Haul post is known as their Proposition for that Haul.

If a quorum of Thieves have posted equivalent Propositions on a Haul post, the City may perform the atomic action of Distributing it:-
* Move the contents of the Haul to the Thieves in the manner specified by this common Proposition;
* Change the status of the Haul post to enacted.

Enact a new rule, “The Thieves”:-

Each Thief has a number of Florins, and an inventory list of Possessions. These are publicly tracked.

Enact a new rule, “Possessions”:-

The following types of Possession exist, each with a Value and some having corresponding Effects:-

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Possession !! Value !! Effect
|-
| Lockpick || 1 || -
|-
| Candlestick || 3 || -
|-
| Gold Ring || 7 || -
|-
| Unappraised Gem || DICE10 || -
|}

At any time a Thief may remove a Possession from their own inventory to gain Florins equal to its Value.

Cheap tallow candles in a high garret room. A few handfuls of small gold and silver coins are scattered across the wooden table, meagre spoils from a long night’s work through the city’s winding streets and unsecured doors. With lowered but insistent voices, a group are pushing the coins around the table, occasionally gesturing to marks and crosses on a map of the city, and dividing up their takings.

The group look up as the door bangs open, one of them instinctively snatching up and folding away the map, but it is only the last of their number returning.

The newcomer strides up to the table and throws a few more coins down, before holding a dark gemstone up against the candlelight. When the map holder gestures for this to also be added to the table, the new arrival holds out his other arm, the sleeve of which is ragged and bloody with the marks of a guard dog’s teeth. As the group tilt their heads and glance at each other, the holder of the stone closes his fist around it.

The term “Seeker” becomes “Thief” and “Observer” becomes “City”. The Public Tracking page becomes “The Garret”. The Building Block “Mantle Limiations” is activated.

Post-dynastic washup thread.

With 4 Awards I have achieved victory. My Private Criteria and their salts were, in chronological order:

“Satisfies the text of my 1st secret key. 512”, “Satisfies the text of my 2nd secret key. 104”, “Satisfies the text of my 3rd secret key. 826”, “Satisfies the text of my 4th secret key. 912”, “Satisfies the text of my 5th secret key. 783”, “Satisfies the text of my 2nd secret key. 953”, “Satisfies the text of my 5th secret key. 173”, “Satisfies the text of my 54th secret key. 511”, “Satisfies the text of my 29th secret key. 451”, “Satisfies the text of my 386th secret key. 613”, “Satisfies the text of my 853rd secret key. 271”, “Satisfies the text of my 3716th secret key. 523”, “Satisfies the text of my 3727th secret key. 124”, “Satisfies the text of my 1731st secret key. 436”, “Satisfies the text of my 7510th secret key. 415”, “Satisfies the text of my 9264th secret key. 774”, “Doesn’t contain a Mornington Crescent mug. 523”, “Doesn’t contain a Mornington Crescent mug. 124”, “Doesn’t contain a Mornington Crescent mug. 436”, “Doesn’t contain a Mornington Crescent mug. 415”, “Doesn’t contain a Mornington Crescent mug. 774”, “Doesn’t contain Bank tube station. 126”, “Doesn’t contain Euston tube station. 361”, “Doesn’t contain Morden tube station. 751”, “Doesn’t contain Chalk Farm tube station. 925”, “Doesn’t contain Balham tube station. 651”, “Contains a liftable manmade object. bkf”, “Neither the sky nor the sea is visible. wh6”, “Contains a painted surface (but not blue). dha”, “Contains something brown and/or striped. i8y”, “Camera is clearly angled downwards. kxj”, “Contains a tree, twig or playing card. g9q”, “Contains glass or clear plastic. ba8”, “Contains a crisp shadow or clear reflection. ba9”, “Contains an object at least 50m away. 6nj”, “Player name is neither horizontal nor red. 86h”

I claim the Conceptual Balance award: at this point on 22 April I had a Criteria at 4/4, from snaps 29 through 36.

I think I will make an extraordinarily unlikely but somewhat topical guess:

Kevan is one of your criteria:

snap contains water?

In the rule “Guesses” replace the text “Make a story post to the blog clearly declaring the name of the Targeted Seeker, and what the guesser thinks one of their Private Criteria are” with this text:

Make a story post to the blog containing each the following items: the name of the Targeted Seeker, text that uniquely identifies a single existing Authentic Shot posted within the last 48 hours where the Targeted Seeker has not yet responded to that post and the guesser is not the author of that post, and a number between 1 and 4 inclusive that the guesser thinks is the number of Private Criteria that the named Authentic Shot will satisfy for the Targeted Seeker.

In the same rule, replace the steps for the atomic action Resolving the Guess with the following steps:

* If the number mentioned in the guess is the same as the number of Private Criteria that is satisfied for the Targeted Seeker for that Authentic Shot, respond to the post with a , reduce their own Score by the Exposure of each of the Private Criteria that is satisfied by that Authentic Shot, and increase the score of the Guesser by the same amount, and then remove each of that Private Criteria from the Target’s private criteria list (resetting its satisfying and unsatisfying counts to zero in the process)
* If the guess is not the same as the number of Private Criteria that is satisfied for the Targeted Seeker for that Authentic Shot, respond to the post with a

In Criteria, replace “Private criteria may only refer to and be verified by the contents of the shot. Private criteria may not refer to things such as the date, other criteria, the contents of other documents or the thoughts, opinions or feelings of any Seeker.” with:

Private criteria may only refer to and be verified by the contents of the shot. Private criteria may not refer to things such as the date, other criteria, the contents of other documents or the thoughts, opinions or feelings of any Seeker. Private criteria may not use the conjunctions “and”, “or”, “and/or”, “nor” to combine multiple shot conditions.

As it has been 48 hours, I now have a Personal Criteria of Bird.

As it has been 48 hours, I now have a Personal Criteria of Bird.

I believe that Snap 037 Bounty meets the upgrade benchmark for:

“A Snap, posted after 19 April, to which the Observer has responded saying that he finds it aesthetically pleasing”

Grant all players who comment or vote on this proposal 5 score for participation

JonathanDark will act as Xebec’s mentor.

I claim the “Grand Prix in Advertising Photography” for guessing another Seeker’s Criterion.

With more than 200 Score I claim “Fine Art Photographer of the Year”.

I refresh my Criterion of “Camera is clearly angled downwards. kxj” (80494b98cac922f620f8a26ed125439706f8aafeb8576017f95822c0faa712f0)

Hopefully my last criteria reset for a bit:

Contains the username Kevan or Josh
b5a2f7e3ede0a0d08cdac898256f79867dd35e723fd360e22cca8a67f6d8e9ea

Changing my 3rd and 5th Private Criteria (4th was reset due to Kevan’s correct Guess):

Contains an even number of letters on paper
31cca6dfee161290c417b0b6ac2c631ab7c5a25dd4abf284cd57e867663334f5

Contains something blue
a335b14fd8ccc861b2b8f26f0e454047d24e17c83c90e1b5c595c3eb1b8b9e54

For real this time: I claim Conceptual Balance due to my 1st Private Criteria which has a Satisfying score of 4 and an Unsatisfying score of 4, where those scores were obtained from 8 contiguous Authentic Shots all taken after 8 April 2024

Hi BlogNomic, I’m Xebec, I would like to become a player.

handle on discord is @radioactivecauliflowerstew. Got here from Infinite Nomic, my name on there is “google” (using something slightly less confusing for here but on second thoughts having two different names might be more confusing). Anyway, hello. Looking forward to meet everyone.

I guess that one of Jonathan Dark’s Private Criteria is that the photo must contain some water.

I claim the Conceptual Balance award for my 5th Private Criteria which has a Satisfying score of 4 and an Unsatisfying score of 4, where those scores were obtained from 8 contiguous Authentic Shots all taken after 8 April 2024

Claimed too soon, please ignore.

(Snap removed because it was taken too soon. I need to wait until April 22 UTC.)

Changing my second criteria:

Contains the sky at night
77683063a39b2af4f0fd5e0db69c4bad7aa4307ed80e5a5b42fb4ebdbf62c31b

I nominate myself for a Personal Criteria.

I reset my Criteria of “Contains something brown and/or striped. i8y” (67e1c5415087d464335a87445835adb3900aecf9483bbfc21137e54c43d51399)

Add the following to the list of Upgrade Criteria in the rule Upgrades:

* Post three consecutive Snaps each of which was posted at the earliest possible point (to the nearest day) that they could have been under the poster’s Development Interval at the time of posting
* A Snap which was provably taken in a different time zone from a previous Snap taken by the same Seeker
* A Snap, posted after 19 April, to which the Observer has responded saying that he finds it aesthetically pleasing (for the purposes of the rule No Cooperations, this may be considered a co-operative mechanism, although the Observer is encouraged to evaluate each Snap on its aesthetic merits rather than persuing any actual tacit or explicit co-operation)

In “Awards”, replace “where those scores were obtained from the 8 most recent contiguous Authentic Shots” with:-

where those scores were obtained from 8 contiguous Authentic Shots all taken after 8 April 2024

In the rule “Personal Criteria” add this text:

Each Seeker’s Personal Criteria is publicly-tracked.

I believe Snap 035: “Ahhh…..Qua!” meets the upgrade benchmark: “A Snap where the Merriam Webster Word of the Day for the day on which the Shot was taken appears on a sign or other permanent outdoor structure in shot (where the word would also have been present on that object on the previous day)”

If the proposal “Personal Criteria” was not enacted, this rule has no effect.

Replace the text of the rule “Personal Criteria” with the following:

Each Seeker has a Personal Criteria, which defaults to empty. A Seeker may initiate the process of setting their Personal Criteria by making an uncategorized blog post where the title of the post contains the text “Personal Criteria Request” and the body of the post may contain any text of the author’s choosing. This type of blog post is known as a Personal Criteria Request, and the author of such a post is the Requestor.

All Seekers other than the Requestor may respond to a Personal Criteria Request with one of the following types of responses, and only one of each such response type per Personal Criteria Request:
* A non-fictional object that has not yet been mentioned in the responses to this Personal Criteria Request
* A with the name of an object already mentioned by another Seeker in this Personal Criteria Request

The Requestor may respond to this Personal Criteria Request with a and the name of an object already mentioned by another Seeker in this Personal Criteria Request. They may do this once for each such unique object.

48 hours after a Personal Criteria Request is posted, among the objects that were not mentioned in a response by the Requestor with a , if there is an object mentioned in more responses containing   than any other object in that Personal Criteria Request, the Requestor’s Personal Criteria is set to that object. Otherwise, that Personal Criteria Request has failed and any further responses to it are invalid.

In the rule “Scoring”, replace the text “If a Seeker who has a Personal Criteria does not include it in their Snap, the Snap is worth 0 points. If they do include their Personal Criteria, then they get three extra points on top of the points they would get normally.” with the following text:

When a Seeker who has a non-empty Personal Criteria posts a Shot, the following rules apply to that Seeker for that Shot:
* If that Shot contains the object mentioned in their Personal Criteria at the time of that post, they gain 3 Score in addition to the other Score gains they may receive for that Shot.
* If the preceeding step does not apply, they may not gain any Score from that Shot.

Criteria 4 was used for conceptual balance award.

I am claiming the Conceptual Balance award.

I have at least one Private Criteria with a Satisfying score of 4 and an Unsatisfying score of 4, where those scores were obtained from the 8 most recent contiguous Authentic Shots

JonathanDark is one of your criteria:

Snap is taken at night or in the dark?

I refresh two of my Criteria: “Neither the sky nor the sea is visible. wh6” (f91993138faf411c9b4f43dda11ad3397f49934ff06bce289428354e18505d15) and “Contains a painted surface (but not blue). dha” (31956a028bf155e9b250e64e56c2eae82f22209964cbd4dc9959eeb53e1a497d)

To the first paragraph of the “No Cooperation” Building Block and rule, add:-

The Mentor clause that a Mentor and mentee “may work together to achieve victory” does not apply in this dynasty.

I reset the Criteria of mine which was previously “Contains a liftable manmade object. bkf” (52eafba00bbb9fd0e4338df8d221bd1b927c17349c077865b6bef8041d9e2c17)

In the rule “Scoring”, in the bulleted list after the text “Upon doing so:”, add the following bullet point at the end of that list:

* If this Shot was one of the first 3 Authentic Shots they posted in this dynasty in which they responded to the Shot as described in this rule, and this Shot was posted on or after April 18 2024, they gain Score as follows: 20 Score for the first Shot, 10 Score for the second Shot, and 5 Score for the third Shot.

Add a subrule to Criteria named ‘Personal Criteria’ as such:

Personal Criteria

A Seeker may choose to have a Personal Criteria by making a blog post stating that they wish to do so. All other active Seekers then vote upon Personal Criteria by either stating an object, or by voting :for: with the name of the object or the player who proposed the object’s username. The object with the most :for: votes wins. The Seeker whose Personal Criteria is being voted upon may object to the other Seekers’ choice of Personal Criteria if the Seeker can reasonably prove that there is no such object in their vicinity, that the object is too large or too small, or that the object does not exist. This object becomes the Seeker’s Personal Criteria, which is publicly tracked.

In the rule Scoring, add

If a Seeker who has a Personal Criteria does not include it in their Snap, the Snap is worth 0 points. If they do include their Personal Criteria, then they get three extra points on top of the points they would get normally.

Chiiika is idled out after seven days without making a post or comment.

Quorum remains 4.

I would like to propose a new type of criteria, known as a ‘Personal Criteria’, which requires a Seeker to have an object which all other active Seekers voted upon in their image. The incentive for this would be that any Seeker who chooses to have a Personal Criteria gets a poinnt boost.

After ‘opinions or feelings of any Seeker.’ add

Personal Criteria

A Seeker may choose to have a Personal Criteria by making a blog post stating that they wish to do so. All other active Seekers then vote upon Personal Criteria by either stating an object, or by voting with the name of the object or the player who proposed the object’s username. The object with the most votes wins. Said object must be reasonably defined. This object becomes the Seeker’s Personal Criteria, which is publicly tracked. The Seeker must now include their Personal Criteria in every Snap they take, or they are ineligible for points on that Snap. If they do include their Personal Criteria, then they get three extra points.

In the rule “Criteria”, replace the text “, by first posting the hash and the secret text in a blog entry and then changing the hash and resetting its satisfying and unsatisfying counts to zero in the game state tracking page.” with the following:

as an atomic action named Criteria Refresh with the following steps:
* Post the hash and the secret text of each Private Criteria being changed in a blog entry.
* For each Private Criteria being changed, update the hash and reset its satisfying and unsatisfying counts to zero.

In the rule “Guesses”, add the following text:

A Guess may not target a Seeker while that Seeker is performing the Criteria Refresh atomic action.

To the Standard of the “Grand Prix in Advertising Photography” Award, add:-

, where that Guess is not already apparently confirmable by public information alone

I believe this photograph meets “A Snap where the Merriam Webster Word of the Day for the day on which the Shot was taken appears on a sign or other permanent outdoor structure in shot (where the word would also have been present on that object on the previous day)”

I would like to change the rule for shots to also allow the word to be the Wordle for the same day one year ago.

Change ‘name of an active Seeker and the Merriam Webster Word of the Day for the day on which the Shot was taken, or the preceding day (per http://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day).’ to

‘name of an active Seeker and either the Merriam Webster Word of the Day for the day on which the Shot was taken, or the preceding day (per http://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day); or the Wordle answer for the day the shot was taken one year ago, not including February 29’.

Consider the Seeker called Josh to have responded to Snap 26 in order, and uphold their responses to Snaps 27 through 29.

My old ones were:

In “Scoring”, after “whether they find the Shot aesthetically pleasing or not, about which they must be honest” add:-

, and include a few words of reasoning

I’m changing all of my Private Criteria. My previous criteria was:

The shot has written vowels

I claim the Outstanding Composition award for having five private Criteria, each of which has an Unsatisfying score of 0 and a Satisfying score of 5

Rescinding this Claim because it was based on faulty scoring of satisfying criteria.

If the Proposal “Cooperative Emperor Style” is not enacted, this Proposal has no effect.

In the Core rule “Victory and Ascension” at the end of the bullet point that begins with “Optionally specify their Imperial Style”, add the following text:

The wiki page named Imperial Styles is not gamestate and may be freely editable.

In the Appendix, replace “All wiki pages that the Dynastic Rules explicitly mention (except for dynastic histories and discussion pages)” with:-

All wiki pages that the rules and Building Blocks explicitly mention (except for the FAQ, the dynastic histories and discussion pages)

In “Building Blocks”, replace “That page is gamestate and may not be altered except as specified by the ruleset or through the passage of a Proposal or CfJ; however, its contents are not rulestext.” with:-

That page’s contents are not rulestext.

To “Spelling and Formatting”, add:-

* A Seeker may change the layout or design of a gamestate wiki page if doing so would not change how any rules interpreted its content.

This proposal has no effect.

In the Core rule “Victory and Ascension”, in the bulleted list after the text “start a new dynasty by completing the following Atomic Action:”, add the following bullet point at the end of that list:

* Optionally specify their Imperial Style, which if specified is a set of nonbinding guidelines that the Observer is encouraged to follow, using the terms defined on the wiki page Imperial Styles.

Juniper.ohyegods will be mentored by Kevan.

Add an Upgrade Benchmark:

* A Snap where the Merriam Webster Word of the Day for the day on which the Shot was taken appears on a sign or other permanent outdoor structure in shot (where the word would also have been present on that object on the previous day)

In the Building Block rule No Cooperations, and in the same text on the Building Block page, add the following after the clause “except through the use of co-operative mechanisms defined in the Dynastic rules,”:

any activities carried out as part of a Mentorship,

Hello to all players. I, of the playername Juniper.ohyegods (shorten it to juniper if you want), have thus applied for the chance to begin gameplay, and it has been granted to me. I would very much like to become a player, if it may be granted upon me for this possibility to occur.

In the rule Upgrades, add the following to Upgrade Benchmarks:

A Snap in which the posting Seekers score is greater or equal to 21.

In the rule “Awards” replace the text “5 Awards” with “4 Awards”

I have achieved the Standard for the Outstanding Composition award by having five private Criteria, each of which has an Unsatisfying score of 0 and a Satisfying score of 5

I reset my Private Criteria. The previous ones were:

1: Doesn’t contain Bank tube station. 126
(7b777de27f7c227bf2699cb536954692ef27f8801e17986e52bc2e9386be0585)

(b2f2086d1e8c18d64b250201aedab178eab100d253d099b728826a7d854eed41)

I claim the Outstanding Composition score for having five private Criteria, each of which has an Unsatisfying score of 0 and a Satisfying score of 5.

In “Scoring” replace

Within 48 hours of such a Shot having been posted, each Seeker (including the poster) may at most once respond to it stating which of their own Private Criteria that Shot satisfies and does not satisfy, and whether they find the Shot aesthetically pleasing or not, about which they must be honest, provided that none of their Private Criteria has been changed since that Shot was posted and provided that there are no other Shots that were posted before the shot in question, within the last 48 hours, and which the Seeker in question has not already responded to in this manner. Upon doing so:

with

Within 48 hours of such a Shot having been posted, each Seeker (including the poster) may at most once respond to it stating:
* which of their own Private Criteria that Shot satisfies and does not satisfy and
* whether they find the Shot aesthetically pleasing or not, about which they must be honest
A seeker many only perform this action if all of the following are true
* none of their Private Criteria has been changed since that Shot was posted
* there are no other Shots that were posted before the shot in question, within the last 48 hours, and which the Seeker in question has not already responded to in this manner
Upon doing so:

In the “No Cooperation” Building Block (both on the Building Blocks wiki page and in the ruleset), if it exists, replace “except through the use of co-operative mechanisms defined in the Dynastic rules” with:-

except through the use of co-operative mechanisms defined in the Dynastic rules, and the posting of votable matters and casting of votes

Cause the Seeker named Kevan to claim the Outstanding Composition Award, incrementing his Awards by 1.

Enact a subrule to “Criteria” called “The Darkroom”:-

When the Seeker named Kevan changes his Private Criteria, instead of setting his Satisfying and Unsatisfying counts to zero he must roll DICEX for each of his Satisfying counts (where X is the number of Snaps posted since 00:01 on 2 April 2024) and set that count to that value, and set the corresponding Unsatisfying count to X minus that value. After doing so, this rule is repealed.

Changing my Private Criteria (again), this time just the 4th since the 1st was blanked out by Clucky’s correct Guess:

The Shot contains at least one human finger
f86d4b20039e89dd8e36699ed02033322f98afd270cf129b421f8f71cd50ea81

Repeal the building block rule “No Cooperation”

add a new dynastic rule called “Cooperation Limits” with the following text

Seekers may not share their private criteria with other seekers or make requests about the contents of other Seekers shots (either directly or through an intermediary), unless in ways explicitly defined by the dynastic rules.

I guess one of JonathanDark’s private criteria is The Shot contains something metal

I’m changing my 1st and 4th Private Criteria. They were:

The Shot contains something metal
5e594e13b5374ad564bb96544174a004c4ce9c41fd56b759afad2bc76e97cdb5

The Shot contains at least one human finger
f86d4b20039e89dd8e36699ed02033322f98afd270cf129b421f8f71cd50ea81

I guess that one of your private criteria is “Includes some synthetic, manufactured or man-made material”.

If the Proposal “Idle Cooperative” was not enacted, this Proposal has no effect.

In the rule “Scoring”, add a subrule named “Aesthetics” with the following text:

Each Seeker has a number named Aesthetics which defaults to 0.

Within 48 hours of an Authentic Shot being posted, any Idle Seeker may at most once respond to it with a icon in their response. If at least 3 different Idle Seekers have responded to an Authentic Shot in this manner, and the Authetic Shot has at least one response from a non-Idle Seeker regarding which of their Private Criteria the Shot satisfies, the author of the Authentic Shot may add 1 to their Aesthetics.

In the rule “Awards”, replace the text “5 Awards” with “4 Awards”, and add the following entry to the table:

|-
| Critic’s Circle Grand Medallion || Have an Aesthetics of at least 5

Treat Clucky’s first reply to this snap

https://blognomic.com/archive/snap_023_what_that_world_will_be_like

as having been legally made and he had stated the snap to be aesthetically pleasing

Resetting these two:

Contains a person other than the shot taker dc87a612b42666627ddb47b7534e2f12c1f417a073c37c9f2214c85b6e9b7b07 (debated if Kevan’s eye follows this but felt like a stretch to say yes plus it might have been Kevan’s eye…)

Contains something with wheels 4d21be30f172bcea244b2b3172ebf9cd000c776230c972c12a2810175d714fc7

I’m changing my 2nd Private Criteria. It previously was:

The Shot contains grass
fe6a592362db286499cb87e1e6969e82cfba2f75e74f6dd58da338bd2781b482

My 96666edb22e8817f44bc987386fa40f6dfabeab000b727f8a8b689c8ad36cebc hash was “It has a light that is on”

Rewrite the Building Block rule No Cooperation, and the same entry on the Building Blocks page, to read as follows:

In this dynasty, Seekers are expected to avoid co-operating to effect Victory, except through the use of co-operative mechanisms defined in the Dynastic rules.

Idle Seekers are considered to be Seekers for the purposes of this rule.

If a Seeker feels that another Seeker has gone against this expectation in some way during the current dynasty, then they are encouraged to vote against all DoVs from that Seeker during that dynasty. If a Seeker feels that a DoV has come about as a result of one or more other Seekers making a sincere attempt to ‘kingmake’ for the Declarant, even if the author of the DoV was not a party to that cooperation, then they are encouraged to vote against it. This overrules the encouragement to vote according to the perception of a victory in the rule “Victory in Ascension”.

Add a new Award to the table in the rule Awards:

| Critic’s Circle Grand Medallion || Post a Snap on which at least 5 icons are cast in comments by idle Seekers (no more than one icon per Snap per idle Seeker).

In the same rule, in the sentence “Any Seeker who has claimed 5 Awards has achieved Victory.”, change the 5 to a 4.

Add the following to the end of the Building Block rule No Cooperation, and to the same entry on the Building Blocks page:

Idle Seekers are considered to be Seekers for the purposes of this rule.

Add a subrule “Aesthetics” to scoring:-

The Aesthetic Score of a Snap can be determined by analysing the Snap with the “Rate My Photo” web site or mobile apps.  This will compute a score from 0-10 for each Snap. For each Snap posted after March 4, at most, once per Snap posted, the Seeker may post the Aesthetic Score of the Snap.  The Seeker can increase their Score by 10 for an Aesthetic Score greater than or equal to 7.

In the rule “Guesses” replace the entire text of that rule with the following text:

When posting an Authentic Shot, the Seeker authoring that post may optionally perform a Guess, which is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Reduce their Score by 3
* Privately track text that contains the full title, minus the text “Story Post: “, of that Authentic Shot post, the name of a Seeker other than the author of that Authentic Shot, and a number of Private Criteria that the named Authentic Shot will satisfy for the named Seeker. This is known as the Guess Contents.
* Add the text “Guess:” followed by the SHA256 hash of the Guess Contents from the preceding step to the body of that Authentic Shot. This is known as the Guess Hash.

If it has been at least 48 hours after an Authentic Shot has been posted, and that post contains a Guess Hash, the author of the post may reveal the Guess Contents associated with the Guess Hash of that post in a comment to that post. If the Guess Contents are valid and the named Seeker had responded to the named Authentic Shot with a number of satisfied Private Criteria that matches the number mentioned in the Guess Contents, this is considered a Successful Guess for the author of that post, and the author of that post may increase their Score by the Exposure of each Private Criteria that was satisfied in the named Authentic Shot for the named Seeker in the Guess Contents.

In the rule “Awards”, replace the text in the Standard for “Grand Prix in Advertising Photography” with the following text:

Have at least 1 Successful Guess

If the proposal “It is a little bit about your feelings” failed, then to the rule “Scoring”, add a subrule “Aesthetics”:-

The last valid voting icon that an idle Seeker has used in any comment on a Snap is that idle Seeker’s View on the aesthetic appeal of that Snap: their View is Positive if the icon is FOR and Negative if it is AGAINST. (In all other cases the idle Seeker has no View of that Snap.)

If a Snap is between 48 and 96 hours old and more idle Seekers had a Positive View of it than had a Negative View, then the poster of that Shot may (if they have not already done so for that Snap) increase their Score by 5.

In the rule “Scoring” add this text:

48 hours after an Authentic Shot has been posted, if every Seeker who responded to that Shot, other than the one who posted the Shot, mentioned in their response at least one of their Private Criteria that was satisfied by that Shot, the poster of that Shot may increase their Score by 2.

In the rule Scoring, after “stating which of their own Private Criteria that Shot satisfies and does not satisfy”, add:

, and whether they find the Shot aesthetically pleasing or not, about which they must be honest

To the bulleted list in the same rule, add the following as a final bullet point:

If they found the Shot aesthetically pleasing they should increment the Score of its poster by 2.

In Criteria, replace: “Private criteria may only refer to the contents of the shot, and may not refer to things such as the date, other criteria, or the contents of other documents.” with:

Private criteria may only refer to and be verified by the contents of the shot.  Private criteria may not refer to things such as the date, other criteria, the contents of other documents or the thoughts, opinions or feelings of any Seeker.

Keeping up with the Jones -

Swapping out my fourth Secret Criteria:

69bf1996b94a2bb3390f2a5d223deb3bfe645cb4de6a4bf81b3538a9cf64438d - snap contains numbers

This was in error and I have corrected the scoring page

————————————————————————————————-

I am claiming the Conceptual Balance Award:

Have at least one Private Criteria with a Satisfying score of 4 and an Unsatisfying score of 4, where those scores were obtained from the 8 most recent contiguous Authentic Shots

My fourth secret criteria currently has a Satisfying score of 4 and an Unsatisfying score of 4.

Add the following to “Audit”

If they have not already done so this dynasty, and they have previously had any private criteria created prior to March 26th 2024, then a seeker must make a blog post containing the history of every Private Criteria they had which was created before March 26th 2024 and its corresponding salt. A Seeker who needs to perform this action may not post any Snaps, Guesses or respond to Snaps until they perform this action.

Add the following to “Criteria”

Private criteria may only refer to the contents of the shot, and may not refer to things such as the date, other criteria, or the contents of other documents.

I’ve realised that both of my last two criteria setting actions were invalid at the time they were performed, so I’ve rolled them back to their last legal values. This invalidates my Satisfaction claims on the last four photos but, I think, nothing else. It doesn’t change my response to Josh’s guess.

I now change my private criteria, revealing the five that were still legally in place at the time of posting:

1. “Satisfies the text of my 54th secret key. 511” 5693089c9529914653aaa9115331cf337c24014b3d2563e648909f14183e182d
2. “Satisfies the text of my 2nd secret key. 953” 7f1dfa8a85adfdc8881d2b0b7ec2737ea9f77df234e2cd25bbf9375642973cf7
3. “Satisfies the text of my 29th secret key. 451” 6fd8222ea5cfd0a4002856b38b680fdb50c904b6ced58f7baaafa29f7d5549ca
4. “Satisfies the text of my 4th secret key. 912” 04cdc91b436b3cd04efda5f85d9568f052c3b64ab407fc6b1f9184b135799a0f
5. “Satisfies the text of my 853rd secret key. 271” a3754e08a42b66a54dfa5f3882092e36259f2ee23c1f7247d55f3c78d2bbcb9e

(The “secret keys” are numbered private notes that I have jotted down elsewhere, which I refer to when I need to determine whether or not a criterion has been met.)

Here are the old ones:

I guess that one of Kevan’s Private Criteria is “Was taken outside”.

I gain 1 Award, for Outstanding Composition.
