I think I’m missing something here. How will a machinist know how many agendas their opponents have succeeded at, and whether or not they’ve successfully knocked someone down from two completed agendas down to one?

If there’s no way of a player knowing whether anyone else is at 2 mastery, they’re just going to declare victory without knowing that the rules disallow them from doing so.

Oh, good point, I guess I was building off the idea that these were somehow public if we were expected to vote on DoVs about them.

Which is the wider problem of any victory condition based on Emperor-distributed information needing careful handling. Even if somebody does choose to optionally quote their Agendas when DoVing under the current rule, voters would be prudent to wait for the Emperor to confirm that yes, that player did actually those Agendas and hasn’t misread or misquoted them, or mixed them up with the Agendas that they submitted, etc.

I’ll think about an edit.

Okay, I’ve switched this around to make it into “Great Machine makes an announcement post, which triggers victory” process.
