Call for Judgment: Not a sentence

Quorum of AGAINST votes.

Adminned at 12 Feb 2009 10:03:47 UTC

Amnistar won the previous dynasty by guessing the Theme, which was “Gourmet Drag Racing on Mars”. However, the rules at the time explicitly stated that the Theme was a sentence. “Gourmet Drag Racing on Mars” is not a sentence, so therefore, Amnistar could not have achieved victory. It would also be impractical to return to the previous nonsensical ruleset, however.

To solve this, with each valid vote on this Call for Judgment, a Soldier may include the name of one Soldier, or the word “Metadynasty”. The Soldier most mentioned in this way achieves victory. If “Metadynasty” is most mentioned, repeal all dynastic rules, replace “Soldier” with “Player” and “General” with “Emperor” throughout the ruleset, and remove Amnistar from his position as General/Emperor.

Besides, really? I wouldn’t revoke a declaration of victory because of semantics.

Also, I like this dynasty.

against ...The DoV passed. Therefore, Amnistar won.  The rules merely provide support for a DoV.

You’re too late.  Should have brought this up during Hiatus.

against Amni won. Furthermore, nothing says that it wasn’t a sentence. It has a subject and predicate with a verb. It makes sense.

DC, you keep coming with CfJs to overthrow Emperors with no backing… what’s wrong?

against The DoV passed. Its too late to complain about it. That is the point of the DoV. It doesn’t matter if it was a legally within the ruleset of the dynasty or not—the point is the DoV passed and so Amnistar won.

I could post a DoV right now, without having fulfilled any victory conditions, and if it passes, I’d be able to start a dynasty.

Or, you could join the effort to give Amnistar a 5th Dynasty! There would be no need to repeal the rules or anything . . . it would just show our support of the General.

against This CFJ seems like some sort of weird scam; let me counter-scam to make Amnistar’s victory definitely legit. The rules mentioned not that the theme was a sentence, but that it was “described” by a sentence, with a particular md5 hash. There are an infinite number of sentences that accurately describe what the Theme was, clearly. There are only a finite number of md5 hashes, therefore it is overwhelmingly likely that some (probably incredibly long) sentence describes the Theme and happens to have the right md5 hash. So Amnistar did win legitimately.

Arth: I’m not really trying to overthrow Amni, I just realized that it didn’t have a subject and a verb, just in case someone thought that this would be a good reason to overthrow him.
