Passes 11-0 after 12 hours -Darth
Adminned at 24 Aug 2009 21:40:45 UTC
I have won per the Proposal “LOLOLOLOLOLRODLANCHAOZLOLOLDSJKAHGFJKH”.
See http://blognomic.com/archive/dynasty_suggestions/ for my dynasty ideas. We can vote on them here.
[insert lengthy speech here]
Heh. This dynasty is about to end and no-one’s updated the NomicWiki page on BN to reflect this dynasty. Or yuri’s for that matter.
Of course, now I’m updating it.
I am extremely upset by the DDA coup, as I feel it killed a perfectly good dynasty.
However, I’ll give this DoV a grudging 
, since the win does appear to be legitimate.
Remember the paranoia bit? There was no DDA coup. Heck, I went for a Dynasty and a half without even mentioning the DDA before today.
If you are upset with the Dynasty ending, I’d take it up with arthexis. I had no intention of the Dynasty ending now, but that’s the way things went down. On the upside, at least there are some good theme ideas for the next dynasty.
Actually, I’m gonna agree with Bucky. Rod unidles, makes a proposal, then you vetoed all the other proposals, enabling DC to win. Before that, you, arth, and ex were gonna lead a triumvirate, but you vetoed it to give DC the victory. You DDA people definately held a coup against the rest of us.
...Wak, you’re a member of the DDA.
Also, when Clucky idled, I left the DDA.
When you put it that way, it does sound suspicious. There is a fatal exception in your logic, however. The hypothetical “coup” you speak of worked perfectly as you described it. Therefore, there is no possible way the DDA could have perpetrated it. I have 13 Dynasties of experience to back that statement up.
Seriously, there was no plan. If the DDA reforms and hatches any plans, I guarantee you Rodlen will post a DDA messageboard for communicating secret activities to everyone in the world. Guaranteed.
Plus, DDA has High Command. This hypothetical coup can’t be on purpose, then. High Command would have utterly ruined our plans, if they were actual plans.
Also, Qwazzy, the first appearance of the DDA was my first dynasty, which was 12 dynasties ago. So…no, no you don’t have 13 dynasties of experience when it comes to DDA-related matters.
The post-apocalyptic dynasty idea seems very similar to the Crashed Spaceship dynasty. Similarly, the Nations idea is very similar to the Hegemonic dynasty.
I dislike the Calvin and Hobbs and Super Smash Bros ideas and like the two kevan.org-based ideas.
I’m including that Dynasty itself.
When I saw the “C&H;comic” post, I definitely thought he was talking about Cyanide and Happiness for a second.
Current tally of votes (counting Bucky’s dislikes as -1; and not counting mine at all, as I like all of these):
Calvin & Hobbes: 1
Capetown: 2
Dvorak: 1
Solitaire Nomic: 0
Smash: 0
Nations: 1
Katamari: 0
Future: 0
Post-Apocalyptic: 4
The second appearance of the DDA was in the Second Dynasty of Yoda. It didn’t appear between those dynasties.
LOL, I find it interesting that Bucky and myself have taken a liking to the kevan.org games as a dynasty. Are you secretly a distant relation bucky?
Indeed, no DDA projects succeeded between those two Dynasties. Or at any other time.
Missed DK’s votes in the Dynasty Suggestions thread. Capetown does not increase because I already counted it, since he gave me the idea.

I’m not a member… I never have been, darth. Rodlen never met the requirements I set for him to get me to join. I have not actually ever been a part of it, and am happy to announce that I have no affiliation.
Is it just me or when ever anyone types “C&H;” there’s a semi-colon getting put after it?
...
dogfish: er… mine was a typo, I think.
C&H;, Post-Apoc, Capetown, Smash all increase by 1 per Wak.

...alright, that time I MADE SURE that it didn’t have a semicolon. I MADE SURE! I COPY AND PASTED!
Someone’s editing the comments.
The Rogue Admin is back.
Is everyone making the same typo then cos it’s happening an awful lot (unless it’s just my computer somehow)
No way it’s rogue admin, it happened immediately after I posted it. Let’s try some things.
R&H;C&H;C&R;
It replaced the space with a semicolon!
C&H;C&H;C&H;C&H;C&H;C&H;C&H;C&H;C&H;C&H;C&H;C&H;C&H;C&H;
So an ampersand then a letter seems to trigger it. Which is odd it’s a bit like that thing in html where to do some characters you write ampersand then the name of the character then a semicolon :)
Wow. I’m posting at the same time. Again.
Is it autumn again already?
This is just like the incredibly long DoV comment strings of yore.

The only one that worked was the number, I did the 2nd one myself.

Testing:
&aha;If you press the Preview button you’ll see it auto-adds it.
Simple.
As dogfish said, “it’s a bit like that thing in html where to do some characters you write ampersand then the name of the character then a semicolon”.
Therefore, the makers of EE added this function in as a correction.
More specifically, if you enter and ampersand and then “amp” you’ll get: &
The full sequence of characters interpreted by the system is (plus spaces):
& a m p ;
Remove spaces and you get the code for the & symbol.
dude, we only have 20 comments left. Don’t waste them like I did this one.
This comment is wasted. We should break the comment record like we did with arth! It’s currently at 179.
nocomment record breaking. There is no reason, and the comments are wasted, as they are unreadable after 100. Don’t ask me why, they just are.
Wak: They aren’t wasted. And the reason is the same reason as why you might break the world record for Largest Statue of a Cow: it’s fun to break records.
It is literally impossible to triple-post on this engine. There’s a delay.
For some reason, it won’t let me access the February 2009 posts. Either my computer’s messed up, or the sidebar is.
So what;s the vote count again? Are you sure we don’t need room for more votes?
