BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Given that you need both a quorum of votes to leave and a quorum to come back, a player who can achieve both of those (which might only require the assistance of a handful of accomplices) can move back and forth indefinitely, accruing infinite Fame.

I never thought of that, Kevan. Maybe we could add something that says that a Contestant may not become an Insider more than twice per 48 hr period or something.
For now thoug, my vote remains

If this is allowed to pass, we may not have time to pass a fix proposal.

Changing your vote is a daily action, even if that contestant is an outsider.  Changing your support is a weekly action, unless the contestant you are currently supporting is an outsider, at which point you can change it to any insider without using your weekly action.

This, combined with the fact that you cannot have your Vote and Support be the same constestant, would make it very hard to coordinate getting even 1 fame from this, much less infinite fame.

as per Kevan

Oh, I forgot that Vote and Support couldn’t be the same person. That’s enough for it not to be a problem, then.

CoV:

@Yoda: what if a quorum of insiders both vote for and support the same contestant? Then there’d be no changing necessary, you could just go back and forward forever.

That was probably a simulpost, but the fact that you can’t oppose and support the same contestant means that we can’t ever have a quorum both supporting and opposing the same person.

@Kevan: yes, crossed messages. Which limits the gain to the number of weekly actions a quorum of contestants have between them; probably too low to be worth worrying about, given that that many players working together could do anything they wanted via CFJ. And later on, when we have fewer Insiders, the number of weekly actions available (is there a way to do it on dailies, I wonder?) is likely to be low enough that the scam isn’t worth much.

I think the Fame reward should be higher, though.

Coming back in is one of those twists that reality TV shows always seem to overuse. Presumably, because it gets them ratings…

1: Cliche
2: I want to propose somthing that this could mess up.

Wak: The Insiders could use this strategically to keep the Outsiders from rebelling.

Also, Wak: Why did you mention me?
