Proposal: No man standing

Self-killer—arth

Create a new rule, “No Survivors”:

If at any time, there exist no Living Survivors, the End has Come. When the End has Come, repeal all dynastic rules, fail all pending proposals, and start a new dynasty (known as a metadynasty) with no Leader.

*sigh* There are a few reasons that this is a bad idea.

1. Since “Living” is undefined in the Ruleset, it can mean lots of things, which is dangerous in a victory condition.  For example, an argument can be made that none of the Survivors are “Living,” because they are all computer identities controlled by outsiders, and have no free will of their own.

2. Also, an early victory condition is just generally bad and more likely to make a Dynasty end soon.

Qwaz: ...“If a Survivor’s status is Healthy or Wounded, that survivor is said to be Living.”

Didn’t see that, but still against early victory or non-victory conditions.
