Rewrite the core “Victory and Ascension” rule to read:

If a ‘’‘Henchman’‘’ (other than the ‘’‘Overlord’‘’) believes that he has achieved victory in the current Dynasty, he may make a post to the Blognomic weblog in the ‘’‘Declaration of Victory’‘’ category, detailing this.

Upon doing so, the game immediately goes into Hiatus, if it hasn’t already. During this time, the only game actions that may be taken are those covered by Rules “Henchmen”, “Calls for Judgment”, “Gamestate Tracking” and “Victory and Ascension”.

Every ‘’‘Henchman’‘’ may respond to an active DoV saying whether or not he believes the poster has achieved victory in the current Dynasty (using the FOR and AGAINST icons).

The Declaration of Victory may be resolved after 24 hours, or after 12 hours if the ‘’‘Overlord’‘’ has voted on it. Upon resolution, if a Quorum of ‘’‘Henchmen’‘’ have voted on the DoV and more than half of those votes were in favour, then the DoV passes - otherwise the DoV fails, and if no other DoVs are still pending, the Hiatus ends.

When a DoV passes, all other active DoVs are failed, and a new Dynasty begins with the ‘’‘Henchman’‘’ who made the DoV as its ‘’‘Overlord’‘’. (That ‘’‘Henchman’‘’ may pass this role to another ‘’‘Henchman’‘’ at this point, if he wishes.) The Hiatus continues until the new ‘’‘Overlord’‘’ posts an Ascension Address to the BlogNomic weblog - this shall specify the ‘’‘Overlord’s’‘’ chosen theme for the new Dynasty, and may optionally include a proclamation that any number of Dynastic Rules will be repealed, and that any keywords will be replaced with new theme-appropriate terms.

This reverts the rule to its state before Pirahna Tanks was enacted. I personally do not like the new rule, at least as a core rule, as it introduces a punitive stance which may not be appropriate to all dynasties, and may discourage someone from attempting a sneaky victory, which can be a fun surprise if not overdone.
