Adding, and idling, you now. You’ll find your gndt password in your pm box.

Welcome! And dang… A new dynasty is about to start, and I don’t think you’ll be able to de-idle until four days from now. Tough luck. =P

No, the four day limit is only within a dynasty. Which is why Josh and I didn’t mind idling out as part of a victory scam.

Oh, so it was deliberate? I was assuming it was chance.

It was coordinated. There were three zombies and we all felt we had a lower-than-33% chance of winning under normal victory conditions (with some other players being very close to five A+ grades), so we just rolled a die with the agreement that two would idle out to let the other win. Alecto won the roll.

Nice plot! Thumbs up!

“within the previous 4 days, and within the current dynasty.”

I forgot the last part. =P

Good thing you guys didn’t leave it for another 14 hours ;)

My experience with Nomic scams suggests that it’s very difficult to come up with a victory condition that is a) achievable and b) not trivial to complete for three players working in concert.  I really thought this one was going to go to grades, though—William and Kevan were only a couple classes away from hitting the five-A+s mark, and Roujo wasn’t far behind.

This dynasty finished sooner than I expected.
Well done, you 3!

Please de-idle me (should I post a new blog entry for de-idling?).

It’s probably best to make a post. Officially, all you need to do is ‘request’ to unidle, but your request stands a better chance of getting noticed if it’s in a fresh post. You can also ask an admin in the IRC channel if one is on.

You’re reactivated now, regardless. Quorum remains 10.

Or rather, someone else unidled you while I was writing that.

Kevan: he/him

[Foo] No, that’s fine, you just have to make a “request” to an admin. And we’re officially in a new dynasty now, so I’ve unidled you, and also myself.

Ok, thanks admins.

The comment worked pretty well :P

Unidling myself while we’re at it.
