I think people aren’t jumping in because the dynasty has been going for nearly two months, and appears settled; the observer class in slack certainly seems more interested in waiting for the next dynasty than joining this one.

I’ll abstain on this; if it attracts votes from unidlers desperate to pitch in then I’ll consider a vote.

I don’t see how it’s settled. I do, however, see how small my one-Crown lead is in the face of the new ways to earn Crowns. That’s also why I don’t see it as settled - the details of the win condition are very much in flux.

The one potentially-insurmountable advantage the Order has over a newcomer coalition is simply that it’s hard to get into a Corporation - any Corporation - in the first place, which is a prerequisite for victory and which we got for free by proposal.

Oh, sure; I’m not saying that it *is* settled, just that it *looks* settled, if you are looking from outside without a full grasp on the ruleset.

I struggle to know why some dynasties kick off and some don’t; I think this one has struggled under Christmas and the malaise portion of 2020. But I also don’t think that there’s a great clamour in the wings of people trying to get in and bouncing off of the lack of corporations, which would be an easy fix for any returning player. I think that that clamour just isn’t there.

In that case, we should solicit comments on this from the bench.
