As expected.

Actually, I’m changing my vote. I could argue that the previous scam was far-fetched, given everything else said in the rule, but the more I look at the rule, the more I think that it’s too badly written to deserve any such protection. Either we go with the letter of the law, or we don’t. 

The law of Nomic is that changing those laws is a move. If a player does something surprising, rival players weigh up their options and react accordingly, with the tools available to them: the action of “submit a proposal to change the gamestate” isn’t really any different to a sword slash or fire throw.

This dynasty’s been a bit unusual for its fair-handedness: any group of three Humans could have proposed “meh, set the Monster’s HP to zero” at any point, but didn’t. (I guess because in the early battles it would be a precedent that rendered the battle subgame pointless, and in the later ones it’d be seen as unfair.) This leisurely amendment seems in the same spirit of keeping it a fair fight: having seen the Monster unveil a new ability which no earlier Monster used, we could propose some compensatory damage or additional human weapons, or we could just remove the ability.

I’m over it. Duke isn’t going to vote for and Cuddlebeam is going to abstain.

Might as well hope though

Hovering.

Anyone want to bring me up to speed on if it’s crucial that I vote one way or another?

Heh, this one’s a convoluted disagreement over a few points in combat. Hop in if you want, but I don’t think it has major ramifications beyond the end-of-dynasty footrace.
