If all you want is to end the madness and start a new dynasty, what’s wrong with http://blognomic.com/archive/cfj_attn_cotc/ ?

Because I wouldn’t have fun with that dynasty and I would with this one?

But you said an Agora-themed dynasty would be hilarious. Plus, nomics being players of each other would set an awesome precedent.

Amnistar: I don’t quite understand how you’re going from saying _exactly what we’re doing_ would be hilarious and you’d support it, to saying that what we’re doing is no fun.

We completely agree—invading to start a dynasty based around an exaggerated caricaturisation of Agora would be hilarious, without removing the core ruleset or anything! That’s why the CfJ coppro linked does exactly that!

No, I said that a group of people jumping in and engineer a win for themselves by playing withing the dynastic ruleset would be hillarious, not the actual dynasty proposed.

Bah, I see what you mean and that was phrased poorly. I’m sorry for the confusion.  I honestly dislike the more ‘rules laywer’ dynasties because they tend to bog down very quickly.  I prefer the dynasties that have a different game theme set-up that people then are allowed to look for loopholes to secure a win.

A dynasty based entirely around finding loopholes seems like it wouldn’t be enjoyable to me.

Agree to disagree, then. :)

I’m not entirely sure if I want a scam-based dynasty. I kind of envision it more as a dynasty where we try to import Agoran concepts in BlogNomic fashion

Oh definately.  If you guys pull it off I’ll just idle out again and not play.  I was around when we did a legalistic game based entirely off that thing, player count dropped like 70% and posting stopped until someone ‘accidentally’ put in a loophole that I was able to exploit and win.

Or you could support it and help it become that!

Agora is at least recruiting shock troops. Why should you get a dynasty just for “oh hey here’s an idea for a theme”?

As stated before, it is presented as an alternative dynasty idea. I have a theme, I’ve run succesful dynasties in the past and people don’t like the other options presented.

You also most recently seem to have run unsuccessful dynasties.

“General Amnistar went Idle, causing everyone to lose interest in the Dynasty.”

, but only if I get to be the one who eats Sam Neil.

This would leave the reenactment loophole open.

I prefer your other dynasty idea. Save this one for when you win by yourself.
