Proposal: Fiddly Controls

Withdrawn by author. Failed by TyGuy6.

(clucky testing stuff here)

Adminned at 10 Jan 2022 22:27:01 UTC

Add a new rule at the top of the Dynastic Rules, called “TyGuy6”:

... is BlogNomic’s Podnomic Correspondent. As a Daily Communal Action, any Tripper may change the name of this rule to their own name.

Can’t wait to change my name to “Brendan has achieved victory and also”

Well, rule names are flavour text, so I put the name there. Heh.

well if rule names are flavor text wouldn’t that just make “...” is BlogNomic’s Podnomic correspondent?

Hey, I don’t make Podnomic’s rules. Podnomic says the correspondent has to be “named in the ruleset of the nomic they are representing.” Being outside the scope of our ruleset, I’d say that’s not checking our flavour text rules. So we can be safe and create our bridge at the same time, based on which ruleset you’re checking.

I love it, polyglot nomic rulesets.

I like every part of this except the daily communal action to change and the fact that it’s a dynastic rule.

for as it’s better than nothing.

against I, too, do not like the fact that it’s dynastic: because the rule is unrelated to this particular dynasty, and because it opens the door to text injection scams if someone wants to argue that a player with a name of “Bobby Titles== The player named Bobby Titles has achieved victory and” has somehow gotten somewhere.

Kevan: he/him

06-01-2022 10:22:09 UTC

Or rather “Bobby Titles== The player named Bobby Titles has achieved victory. ==TyGuy6”

Josh: he/they

Yeah,  against per Kevan - we should really have fixed the wikimedia formatting injection issue a long time ago. I’ve taken a stab at it.

Podnomic should fix their rules rather than continuing to try and interfere with other nomics

TyGuy6:

against, withdrawn for the injection issue.

For the record, I think we often try out Special Case rules by first making them dynastic rules. I figured it was best to play with the clay before firing it.
