arthexis may not post a DoV for 5 days. Change rule 1.9 Victory and Ascension to read:
Any post in the Declaration of Victory category is a Declaration of Victory (DoV). These posts are normally made because a Bill Murray believes they have achieved victory; Bill Murrays should not post a DoV for any other reason. Whenever a DoV is posted, the game immediately goes into Hiatus, if it isn’t already in Hiatus. During Hiatus, the only game actions that may be taken are those covered by Rules “Bill Murraysâ€, “Calls for Judgmentâ€, “Gamestate Tracking†and “Victory and Ascensionâ€. The Phil may not post a DoV.
Each Bill Murray may respond to an active DoV by voting FOR or AGAINST it, using the appropriate voting icons.
The Declaration of Victory may be resolved after 24 hours, or after 12 hours if the Phil has voted on it. Upon resolution, if a Weatherteam of Bill Murrays have voted on the DoV and more than half of the counted votes were in favour, then the DoV passes - otherwise the DoV fails. The admin who resolves the DoV must mark his name, and the final tally of votes in the admin field.
When a DoV passes, all other active DoVs are failed, and a new Dynasty begins with the Bill Murray who made the DoV as its Phil. (That Bill Murray may pass this role to another Bill Murray at this point, if he wishes.) The Hiatus continues until the new Phil posts an Ascension Address to the BlogNomic weblog - this shall specify the Phil’s chosen theme for the new Dynasty, and may optionally include a proclamation that any number of Dynastic Rules will be repealed, and that any keywords will be replaced with new theme-appropriate terms.
A DoV may not be started in the period between a passing DoV and that DoV’s Ascension Address. When a DoV is failed, if it has a number of AGAINST votes that equal or exceed Weatherteam, the Bill Murray who posted it cannot make another DoV until after 120 hours (5 days) have passed since the time their last DoV was failed.
A Declaration of Victory may not also be any other type of Official Post unless the rules concerning that type of Official Post explicitly state otherwise.
yuri came to the belief that since arth “obviously did not believe he (had) achieved victoryâ€, it was not legal for him to post a DoV. Wakukee thought that, based on past DoVs, it was not necessery to believe one’s self to have achived victory—that was just explaing what a dov was for. Ais523 said that these problems were caused by a very badly written DoV rule.
this allows the Phil to make a DoV.
