If at least 8 of the Effective Votes on this proposal are FOR, then repeal the Perdurable Rules “Eternal Emperor” and “Imperial Lineage.”
Some players have expressed sincere interest in being able to win a round of Blognomic but not be emperor afterward. I’m curious about how prevalent that sentiment is among the current group.
I unidled specifically for IL, so I don’t really want to get rid of it so quickly. EE doesn’t bother me because I was almost definitely never going to win.
Past visibility status are now orphaned variables, and thus IL prevents anyone from achiving victory so we should probably get rid of it
(is also rather bad form to punish people for not wanting to participate in a certain dynasty)
[Clucky] “An Orphan Variable is a dynastic gamestate variable which has neither a location in which it’s tracked, nor a reasonable manner in which it can be determined from other gamestate variables”—but it is tracked, specifically on the Book of Souls wiki page, which has a revision history for reasonable determination.
the book of souls wiki page is no longer a gamestate variable, nor is its revision history.
So while there is a reasonable manner in which it can be determined, I don’t think there is a reasonable manner in which it can be determined from other gamestate variables. Instead, it can simply be determined from an immutable source.
I also don’t believe this can be an Orphan Variable because it’s not “a dynastic gamestate variable.” It doesn’t appear in the dynastic rules.
hrm you might be right there
still bad to punish people for not playing in previous dynasties
we just have to make sure someone wins before january 1st, to stop brendan’s reign!
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.
