Notwithstanding rules that would prevent players winning or DoVing, yuri_dragon_17 has achieved victory and can make a DoV saying so even if the time limit isn’t up.
The win might have come quickly this time, because of what I thought was my luck in identifying DK as a Cultist; but yuri and I between us had the stats to kill more or less anyone in a couple of attacks (which were likely but not guaranteed to succeed), and a 50% chance of identifying the other Cultist via a cult attack on a known-to-me player, preceded by me doing an autopass revenge against the cult (50% chance it backfires and hits me, 50% it hits the other Cultist). Therefore, more or less the only way to stop us winning this dynasty between us (one or the other) would be for the other players to recognise they needed to pick on yuri, which they will do now this has happened but probably wouldn’t have done otherwise. (Incidentally, the most likely other scenarios for the dynasty ending would be for either me and yuri to almost achieve our plan and then get wounded by some other non-Cultist at the last minute (which would be a win for Bucky in most scenarios, unless he was wounded at the time), or for sufficiently many people to get seriously damaged that zombie critical mass had been reached (I think it would have been already if the Infected had been playing optimally), which would almost certainly be a win for arthexis if he was playing properly (although Qwaz has now almost overtaken him due to sloppy play on arthexis’ part).) The only other situation I can see from here would be a huge reset of gamestate followed by a major change in the rules to make the dynasty less of a foregone conclusion; my situation has been ruined by play prompted by a mistake on the Leader’s part.
DK is a Cultist; that post was a lie.
Josh: Observer he/they
As mentioned in the DoV, the ruleset has a mechanism by which the players are notified when all of the cultists are incapacitated. That the Leader made an error is not in question, but you also undid yourselves by not keeping your powder dry. In any case: I like this dynasty, and I’d rather keep it around until someone wins it legitimately.
