BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

What does “Found Instance” mean? Feel like I could just write “Josh” on the ground and that would count…

Interesting question! I’m sure a future CfJ could be interestingly debated on that point.

(I am increasingly disinterested in writing airtight rules… The need for every edge case to be squared away in every proposal just sucks the life out of the game for me. If you think the argument could stand up then why not try it and find out?)

I really do agree scribbling “Josh” do count as a found instance; but tbh I feel we picking up paces together isn’t a bad thing tbh… 

To me, knowingly ambiguous rules take life out of the present game and move it into that imagined future CfJ/DoV debate. “No Cooperation” is currently doing that for me - that it will probably matter less how I play the dynasty than how well I can argue and mantle barter in some I-choose-to-ignore-No-Cooperation DoV.

The debate starts when we choose to start talking about it.

@Kevan You have mentioned your reluctance around No Cooperation several times; are you going to propose to fix it?

I’ll probably not run the gauntlet of trying to find the exact wording that will not-quite please everybody, so if you want it changed then you should probably grasp the nettle.

It’s hard to know what a fixed version of the rule should allow and disallow, really, as aside from yourself people haven’t seemed that interested in talking about it. Maybe I’ll try proposing an iteration tomorrow to see what feedback it gets.

I’m down to pick up the pace. I have a feeling that very few things will actually be challenged unless it’s obvious shenanigans.
