If we’re now into the second act where all proposals are weighed up between “how much does this help me”, “how much do I want to bluff that this helps me” and “how much might this help the proposer complete multiple angles of an obscure Agenda I can only guess at”, I judge…

(I know this proposal pre-dates the distribution of Agendas, but Bucky could have written this intending to withdraw it if they didn’t get dealt that Agenda.)

Do you intend to vote against every single dynastic proposal I make for the rest of the dynasty on the same grounds?

No. I intend to weigh up those three factors. With more weight on the third now that you know what Agendas you have. That’s the game now for everyone, isn’t it?

I would assume the third point to be relatively weak on this proposal, on account of the fact that it can’t be particularly tailored my specific combination of agendas, and therefore that if you vote against this because of the third factor, it’d virtually prohibit voting for any of my future proposals.

In actuality, you severely overestimate how much my interests lie in promoting my own victory at this stage, when they’re really more about setting up a fun or at least playable game.

I can imagine an argument being made that a very specific Agenda of “have two powered Facilities in the System of Motion, and have a Facility called Distributor with a Power of exactly 9” would be reviewed for inclusion by the Emperor based on the ruleset at the time of the check, rather than potential future rulesets.

But yes, that angle is relatively weak for this one, it’ll be stronger going forward.
