Call for Judgment: Freudian Slip

Fewer than a quorum not voting against. Failed 1 vote to 3 by Kevan.

Adminned at 03 Jan 2020 12:32:46 UTC

Create a new rule:

A Person can Dance by spending 1 Stamina. The first Person to Dance during this dynasty has achieved Victory.

Oh woops, it’s got an enactment admin scam.

Having this “scammed” in that way is actually the quickest way to get the dynasty over (and hopefully revive Blognomic), along with that there’s also an incentive to enact this as soon as possible, because someone else could do it before them and steal the win.

hmm, so very likely that only admins will win, making this an enactment race unless Cuddlebeam self-kills before the third vote.
I’ll have to against for now since if I do vote in favor, Kevan will just win immediately after he casts his vote.

oh wait,  for
since we are dormant neither of us could dance immediately after enactment. that means it’s just a race of who unidles someone first.

Well, I can’t see a way of giving myself one Stamina, so I might as well say that I’m going to unidle exactly 24 hours from now, and see what happens.

Obviously an even quicker way would be “whoever enacts this CfJ achieves victory”, if that’s what this is meant to achieve.

But there’s presumably a reason why the non-admin proposer here prefers this more elaborate wording. Perhaps there’s a “surprise, the two admins who thought they’d regained Stamina are both at zero” mask-pull, given that Cuddlebeam hasn’t taken any actions this dynasty?

(And ah, the most recent actions from Card and myself were illegal, at least, as we both forgot about “Until the People have been Matured in the current week, no Person may take other actions that would change MHB Scores.”)

while i am all for achieving victory, i don’t like restricting it in this manner. previously i thought this CfJ would simply be a speedier road out of dormancy and since we haven’t done a whole lot of dynastic actions this dynasty i doubt people would have that many misgivings if there was a more compelling dynasty that follows. i realize it does not give much of an incentive to pull people out of idlement as a die rolling decision is, even if those are boringly simple.
