BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

The rider here needs to be replacing “The Onlooker” with “Onlooker”; we’ve got sentences like “If there is no The Onlooker…” that don’t have the double-the.

And I think “Throughout the ruleset” will just default to modifying the dynastic rules, as it would for any other proposal that casually said to do that. The proposal needs [Core], [Special Case] and [Appendix] Tags.

Thanks; changed. (I refuse to use tags so I’m riding with “an unambiguous statement of which section of the ruleset it takes place”)

Why do you refuse to use tags?

I find them aesthetically displeasing, as well as resenting the many proposals that they have swallowed through the historical overzealousness of the rule.

Why, Bucky?

Because I don’t think it’s ever appropriate to put the game into Endgame Lockdown.

For tags and bucky’s reasons

@Benbot What do you mean, “for tags”?

For the apathy lol

on the principle that we shouldn’t attempt to prospectively evaluate what a proposal does, since a proposal can have arbitrary conditionals. For instance, if a proposal has an “if enacted after X time, amend the dynastic rule ...”, does this rule prevent that proposal being made?

Yes.

Oh, this is badly scammable. “When the Dynastic Rules are described as being under an Endgame Lockdown” doesn’t restrict who or what does the describing. I could simply make a blog post saying that the Dynastic Rules are under an Endgame Lockdown for a week, and this rule would enforce the lockdown.

Not sure I buy that one, but this isn’t passing anyway so who cares?
