Ideas for the next Dynasty

I have three ideas that I’d had in mind for sometime now, in case I ever won a dynasty. So, I’m gonna post them and you guys can decide which one you like. If for some reason I don’t win, feel free to use any of these ideas anyways.

1) Timeshifting Dynasty: Based on the short story “The Last Question” by Isaac Asimov, the players are a group of AIs that must stop the destruction of the Universe. Several things can be done like making time go faster, slower, rewind it, but these actions create entropy. If the entropy of the universe ever goes over a certain mark, the AI with the lowest entropy wins.

2) Ambiguously Minimalistic Dynasty: Short proposals are declared minimal, and players are rewarded for making minimal proposals, but punished if those proposals are not useful. Player complete to make Emperor made rules shorter (known as Unclean Rules), which gains them points. Players can make their enemies rules “Unclean” by discovering design errors in them.

3) Guess the Theme Dynasty: Only the Emperor knows what the Dynasty is about, and he ain’t telling. Proposals made by the Emperor are known as “Hints” and Players can make “Guess Posts” about the nature of the Dynasty, but they are limited in their number of tries. The first Player to guess what the Dynasty was about wins.

They are all cool, although 1 seems hardest to implement.

Wow.  I never thought I’d see a dynasty theme that was inherently scammable.

3 sounds fun.

2 seems like it would cause all of BlogNomic to crash down from simplicity, because everyone would be simplifying the core rules.

I have an idea: Reality Show Dynasty. As a weekly action, the Host may issue a challenge to all the Nominees, and after that challenge is over, e may Eliminate one Nominee.

Presumably the terms “Challenge” and “Eliminate” would be more defined in the rules.

Isn’t 1 a little too similar to Hix’s first?

Anyways, I like 3.

Looks like idea number 3 in winning. Well, in any case I’ve already got rules planned for it…

I vote for an internet dynasty. The world has collapsed, and society has moved to the internet. Let the good lulz roll.
