Proposal: Breakthrough

Withdrawn. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 18 Nov 2024 16:53:41 UTC

Give Desertfrog 3 Research Points.

Select a random Research Point from those held by Genetic Engineers (excluding Genetic Engineers who have included the word “pass” in a comment on this proposal). The Genetic Engineer who holds the selected Research Point achieves victory.

Remove 3 Research Points from Desertfrog.

Proposals tailed off a couple of weeks ago, and we’ve been waiting six days for three players to submit moves, so maybe we should just call this and move on. Here’s a proposed chop based on Research Points, with Desertfrog’s Understanding being temporarily converted back into 3 RP.

Current research points aren’t an accurate indication of progress because they are spendable. The chop is punishing people who actually attempted to interact with the mechanics of the dynasty by spending the points they earned to perform other dynastic actions.

I was looking to measure available resources rather than past progress, really. What spends have I missed here, 1 each from you and Desertfrog?

Correct. I’m open to either a re-proposal counting in the spends, or using a different measuring stick, such as successful mutations. I recognize that the latter would require the Head Researcher’s participation.

against Alright, I’ll pull this one and repropose.
