Now, I must confess: I posted the CfJ.

...and explicit author for

Wow, sneaky. I have a feeling there’s a snag in your plan, but I want you to win.

Yoda, anyone may post a DoV to achieve victory at any time.

Your little rule gives nothing new.

‘Declaring Victory’ is different to ‘Achieving Victory’

Yoda also said he only can achieve victory, not that he has.

oh snap. Nicely done.

I’m with Rodlen.  May implies the ability to.

this translates to:

Yoda is Permitted to acheive victory.

Congrats. You are allowed to win.  Dosn’t mean you do.

I’m with Rodlen on this one, though I don’t mind either way. My attempts at continuing Spacecraft Battles have turned into incomprehensible babble after the first 600 odd little keywords I need to define… so, meh.

At least I saw this one. Yoda, if you win, am I eligible for a reward for NOT stopping you?

You’re stopping me right now….

There is a difference between “declaring victory” and “achieving victory”. “Declaring victory” is the process that everyone can do. However, when you “declare victory” you must describe how you have “achieved victory” and not everyone is allowed to just “achieve victory” for the heck of it.

The rules, however, state that Yoda *is* allowed to “achieve victory” for the heck of it. He choose to exerise the may caluse—just like how if it says “As a daily action, you may earn five bananas” I’d earn myself five bananas—and thus had “achieve victory”. He then “declared victory”, and because he has also “achieved victory” his declaration is legit.

Hey, I finally got Clucky to unidle!

Oh, and thanks.

For the reasons I stated above :P

Observing some previous victory claims, this is just about tipped in Yoda’s favour I think. Achieving victory normally has conditions. This bypasses them. So, he’s won if he wants to have.

Is there some way to speed up the passing of a DoV besides having the DDA Commander vote on it? (Thanks, Rodlen, by the way.)

well snap. seems like i’m the main vote here. i’m either the quorum reacher or the tie maker lol. i’ll vote….. in abit. i’m reading what everyone has said to see how i stand

unless of course bucky votes lol

Nope, no way to speed up DoV.  To easy for someone to just pass something.

Because it’ll speed things up, get the win and a new dynasty started (unfortunately this one stagnated)

And whatever you decide Yoda, I’d like for there to be Nemesis’ as an option for me to propose as a rule.

Clucky!!! *shakes fist*

btw, the list of active members is misnumbered

You’re an admin.  You fix it.

Aww, I was trying to revive everything.  Oh well.

We have a winner :)

Great, now we just have to wait about 6 more hours…

Removing vote.

How does just saying “Removing vote” remove your vote Rodlen?

theres nothing in the rules that says you can remove your vote.

You tried that last time, remember?  You can’t COV to a no-vote.

Rodlen, you are now officially the only player who has voted against this DoV.  If you ask me, you’re just sore that I finally pulled off a legal win…

If this DoV passes (and I think it’s safe to say by now that it will), I will lead the fifth first dynasty in a row.  We should call this string of first dynasties “The Era of Firsts”.

Spikebrennan, Jack, Purplebeard, Rodlen, Yoda.

I just realized that if we have two more first dynasties after mine, we will have surpassed the record for the most first dynasties in a row (the first 6 dynasties were all firsts).

Incorrect.  Geran and Myke were different pseudonyms for the same player.

Oh, right.  I forgot about that…

Then the most firsts in a row was 5 (23-27), so 1 more and we will pass it.

lol. nomic history 101

I’ll be back in about 9-10 hours, so don’t think I’ve abandoned you guys.

I’m starting to realise the stagnation of this dynasty is, largely, my fault. I’m really, really sorry Rodlen. I may idle depending on what the next dynasty’s theme is… I need to rethink some stuff.
