Proposal: Late Re-arrivals at the Nomicer’s Ball

If “Late Arrivals at the Nomicers’ Ball” failed, do nothing. Otherwise:

If any Nomicer has used the action defined in “Reinitialisation” this dynasty, for each such Nomicer, set that Nomicer’s Discs and Jokers to 0 and revert all dynastic actions that Nomicer has performed since then that spent Discs or Jokers.

In “Discs and Jokers”, change

These are publicly tracked and both default to 3.

to

These are publicly tracked and both default to 3 (except during Lacuna) or 0 (during Lacuna).

Replace the bracketed text in the first bullet point of “Announcements of Attainment” with:

(Nomicers with an Equity below zero, Nomicers who used the action defined in “Reinitialisation” during Lacuna, and Nomicers who were not Active when the current state of Lacuna began, are considered to have an Equity of zero for the purposes of these calculations.)

Lacunas interact really weirdly with Reinitialisation – you can use it last-moment to give yourself a median chance to win despite anything else that happens, and also use it to get extra Jokers to get extra Equity. This is intended to remove any benefit from Reinitialising during Lacuna.

for I was a bit confused about the purpose of reverting all previous dynastic actions that used Discs or Jokers, but I assume it is to prevent H-Milling before Reinitialising, thus reducing the win chance of other Nomicers?

@DoomedIdeas: Right – it’s standard in this sort of loophole fix proposal to prevent players gaining any advantage from using the loophole while the proposal is pending.
