My view is that core rules scams are fine because they should be rare because the core rules aren’t very big.

per omd. I don’t know if they are very big or not, but they’re not reset every dynasty, which means performing a scam is a good way to fix a loophole permanently.

Disallows scamming someone else’s AA if it’s done incorrectly, and that was hilarious. (Although I still think it was very bad manners not to record it as starting a new dynasty, and as far as I can tell, the only person who wanted it not to was Josh, who went around telling everyone he had consensus on the matter until they believed him.)

ais523: I think you’re right that it should be allowed, but I’m not sure this would make it illegal (it is, after all, a guideline). For those voting against, is the general view that core rules scams need /less/ restriction? If so, I’ll self-kill this once it’s the oldest pending so as to avoid clogging the queue. If someone else

less restriction than was proposed, I mean.

But maybe this needs a straw poll first. If there’s a consensus that pulling a core ruleset scam mid-dynasty (or in response to someone else’s DoV) is unsporting and would nearly always result in a majority overturning it, we should write that down. If there’s a consensus that core scams are fine at any time, then I am a little surprised and will now start playing the game differently.

BlogNomic feels more interesting as a series of self-contained games of Nomic - someone else scamming a dynastic rule you unwittingly helped to vote through is great, and what Nomic is all about; someone activating an obscure core scam they put in place a year ago during a particularly noisy dynasty that wasn’t paying attention, less so.

per Cpt_Koen. We should let mistakes happen and those mistakes will fix themselves. Plus, we should encourage creativity, so if someone finds a loophole, we should learn from it!
