Declaration of Victory: Looking good on camera

FOR Votes greater than 2/3rds of the number of Agents, 8-0, and the Concierge has Voted FOR. Enacted by JonathanDark.

“If a particular Agent currently has more Successes than every other Agent, and also had more Successes than every other Agent immediately prior to the most recent Breaking In action, and also gained more than 1 Fame or more than 1 Infamy in the most recent Breaking In action, that Agent has achieved victory. “

I had more Successes than every other Agent before the most recent Break-In and still do, and gained 2 Infamy (my Infamy was set to 0 and then to 2). As such, despite being caught by the Camera Trap, I have achieved victory.

I would like a chance to double-check JD’s or ais523’s route before voting for this, as I thought it would have caught any attempt by ais523 to linger at G or C for four Minutes. (My suspicion is that a rule is malfunctioning in a way ais523 spotted and alerted Kevan to but nobody else did, but I’d like to know what it is.)

JD has messaged me to confirm his route, and there is indeed a window left open in it. No scam here, just bad luck.

for Congratulations!

To confirm, my route was C, Grounds×6, C, C, C, Grounds×2.

I knew that there was a Guard at F at minute 9, and even if Quick, that Guard wouldn’t have time to get to C at minute 8, 9, or 10 (and there isn’t time to get to C from a Station at minute 1). So in order to block my route from working, you would need two Guards covering the A-G area of the hotel. I decided to bet my chances for the round on the Guards not doing that.

(A small gamestate error pointed out on Discord: DoomedIdeas should have 0 Infamy rather than 1, as they were Encountered.)

I think you can fix that even during Hiatus (the rule allowing you to fix it is in the Appendix, and Hiatuses only block actions “defined only in the Dynastic rules”).

Good point, may as well.

against as the break-in was not legally run due to the choice for which burglar to sideline not being publicly randomly selected

Pretty sure “Lobby Boy” covers that.

@Clucky: “Whenever the Concierge is required to make a choice between several outcomes during the course of a dynastic action, they should do so in a secretly random manner.”

I think that applies to Sidelining too: it says “randomly” which is still a choice, and doesn’t contradict the rule requiring it to be secretly random.

Good thing they aren’t making a choice

Turns out Darknight admitted to bidding 5, so was the likely sidelined Burglar.

ais523:

I bid 10, unsurprisingly. So even if the action were redone, it wouldn’t change the results.
