Abilene Paradox Test
End the current dynasty without a winner and begin a Meta-Dynasty
I am expecting this to fail, but I’m just testing in the event we have an Abilene Paradox and nobody really likes this style of gameplay.

BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.

This doesn’t count as a proposal, as it’s not in the proposal category. (You’d still be in the 15-minute window to correct that, except that by adding a comment to it you’ve locked yourself out of doing so.)
I suppose voting to “end” a dynasty might be enough to informally consider the group to now be playing the next dynasty, for historical purposes, and “begin a Meta-Dynasty” is probably enough to implicitly remove the Onlooker role from Trapdoorspyder, but absent of further instructions we’d continue playing under the same dynastic ruleset.
I would vote against this were it a proposal.

No actual harm done.
