Proposal: I want to take the other stairs.

In the rule entitled “Dungeon” replace the text

If the attempt is successful, and their Dungeon Level is less than the Amulet of Yendor’s, they increase their Dungeon Level by 1. If the attempt is successful and they have the same Dungeon Level as the Amulet of Yendor and no @ has an Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, they add the Amulet of Yendor to their Inventory. If the attempt is successful, and either their Dungeon Level is greater than the Amulet of Yendor’s or they have the Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, they decrease their Dungeon Level by 1.

with

If the attempt is successful, they increase or decrease (their choice) their Dungeon Level by 1. If the attempt is successful and they have the same Dungeon Level as the Amulet of Yendor and no @ has an Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, they may instead add the Amulet of Yendor to their Inventory. If an @ successfully Finds the Stairs when their Dungeon Level is 1, they may not choose to decrease their Dungeon Level by 1, unless the Amulet of Yendor has a Dungeon Level of 1 or less.

These lower levels are starting to look scary…I think I might want to head back up for a bit before venturing further into the depths.

@Bucky: Feature, not a bug.

against Given that all proposals to allow moving backwards have failed, I plan to abuse this fact to win the dynasty easily.

against per Bucky and ais. (In case anyone’s wondering why I’m voting against a proposal because if it fails ais can win: all three of ais’s dynasties have been fun. Even the election one.)

And, since we’re in the endgame now, I’d like to give my idea of a courtroom dynasty - it has all of the following advantages:
* Automatically suggests some mechanics - just steal from real-world legal systems.
* Flavorful, but not centered around flavor.
* Probably wouldn’t be grindy.
* Promotes scams; we seem to be in a scammy mood at the moment.

How would this let ais523 win?

Bucky: I don’t know but he says it can.
