Dynasty theme discussion thread
Assuming that the DoV passes (and it’s only been a few hours so this may be presumptuous, but I’d want to keep things moving fairly slickly if it did), I have a couple of ideas for dynasties but nothing I’m devotedly wedded to. Anyone have anything they’d particularly like to see?
My two main ideas right now are: a post-revolutionary theme, in which BlogNomic is a country that has recently overthrown the shackles of colonial oppression only to fall under the rule of a thuggish and despotic strongman (i.e. me) - the players are intellectuals, artists and politicians trying to overthrow me and bring about a democratic transition (or an autocracy in their own name…)
OR
A Rube Goldberg device-like dynasty based around lego bricks. I mostly like this because I like the idea of having the BlogNomic header in lego bricks.
But I’m very much open to suggestions.

Since I first found out about the game, I immediately developed a strong yen for a game show theme dynasty, wherein the Emperor is the Host, everyone else are the contestants, and the game is a mix between The Running Man (what a terrible and lovely film, apparently also a book which I have never read), Double Dare, and Jeopardy.
Just my .02 since you asked.
Roujo:
Since you like Lego bricks, Minecraft, maybe? I have no idea how that would go, mind you. =P
Clarinet:
Lego theme sounds great. I could also propose a Formula 1 theme.
Subrincinator:
All three sound like fun—I’d especially like to see the game show.
Klisz:
Lego is a nice idea. Please no Minecraft though - it’ll end up like the DF and NetHack dynasty, except with less ASCII.
Klisz:
Oh, and game show dynasty has already been done. First Dynasty of ais523.

That was a reality TV dynasty, darth.
And I agree with Darth on Minecraft.
Klisz:
Ien: Still rather close.
Josh: HE/HIM
I agree with Darth too. Dynasties based on computer games in general feels like a bad idea. I know they’ve worked in the past but I don’t like them that much.
