Proposal: Lost the rules, lose the theme

Start a new metadynasty.  In the ruleset, replace “Time Monk” with “Player” and “Time Buddha” with “Emperor”.

Since the set of rules that just got repealed is my favorite ever in BlogNomic, I would rather not pollute the theme with almost certainly far less interesting mechanics.

imperial I’ve had similar feelings, but we could still have some of the crazy edginess without breaking the entire game every other day.

Let me try a concrete example. Imagine a rule:

As a daily action a Time Monk in the Past may shift sands by posting a comment of “Shifting Sands Dynasty XX DICEN” where XX is a Dynasty of the Time Monk’s choice and N is the number of Dynastic Rules in that Dynasty. They must then make a post containing the Nth Dynastic Rule in that dynasty. If the Time Buddha does not reply with a VETO icon within 24, or replies with a FOR icon, any Time Monk may add that rule to the ruleset.

Still having a blast from the past, without the high explosives.  It’s Josh’s Dynasty though, so if he doesn’t want to continue with the theme, I can kinda understand.

against In case that veto turns out to be inappropriate.

against Rodney, I would play that Dynasty SO HARD. It sounds like a blast. We had something similar to that in the tenth round of Nomicron, where players could get a bonus for adopting new rules that were identical to rules from previous dynasties.

I mean rounds. We did not have dynasties in Nomicron. Or did we? Can Time Buddhas travel to the past ... IN OTHER NOMICS????
