BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

With Thelonious’ final tweak, the timeline began to unravel.  Building momentum, the effects rippled further and further out from their origin in 1475 until they reached 2059 when, with a mighty bang the time bomb exploded.  All was still.  All was dark.  Then, for each traveller, the sound of rushing water, a yank of the hair and the realisation that they were whizzing through time - entirely out of their control.

As the light returned, the dazed travellers looked around.  They were together again.  No time machines to tell them when they were but a simple watch, lying on a music stand, told them it was the 26th of August, 2006.  Looking up they admired the fine concert hall with its red curtains, ornate gold surrounds and row upon row of empty seats.  Then, striding towards them from the stage door, the conductor - with music stuffed under his left arm and his baton in the right.

“Sit down” he demanded.  “We’ve a lot to get through this evening if this will ever be ready to perform.  Let us start with the overture…”

All dynastics rules are repealed (with consequent alteration of rule 1.5).
Travellers become Musicians.
Admins become Section Leaders.
The Arbiter becomes the Conductor.

I’ve deliberately chosen a fairly bland theme so as to encourage this dynasty to be a more procedural dynasty as opposed to the substantive nature of the last 2 dynasties.  (See wikipedia’s nomic entry if this means nothing to you.)
