The Drafters filed into the drafting room, eager to take on their first assignment, but with some trepidation. Would they really be able to live up to the standards of such a large nomic?

They started reading the task they were given. “Write a summary of the gameplay for a hypothetical future BlogNomic dynasty, together with at least two hypothetical dynastic rules that might exist in the early stages of that dynasty.” Well, that seemed simple enough. New Emperors did that all the time, often at short notice.

A buzzer sounded, and the task description got a little longer. It was asking for changes, adding restrictions, twists to make the job of drafting harder. Still, one new requirement wasn’t too bad; all that was needed was a few changes here and there, maybe rethinking an idea or two.

Then the buzzer sounded again, and again, and again. Restrictions piled up: anything from well-thought-out “don’t do this, or it’ll cause problems in your dynasty” advice, to somewhat eclectic gameplay preferences which somehow all had to be satisfied simultaneously, to totally arbitrary rules that seemed to be there for no reason to trip people up. It was going to be a long day.

Change Agent to Drafter and Concierge to Supervisor. Repeal all dynastic rules. Remove “Reinitialisation”, “Virtual Actions”, and “Precondition Unidling” from the list of Building Blocks; include “Everyone’s Playing” (adding it) and “Revisions Allowed” (retainng it). Change the gamestate tracking page to “Drafting Board”. Imperial Styles: Guide, Hands-Off, Wildcard.
