This would make the game too chaotic for my taste. I would only even /consider/ voting “for” on a rule like this if the price was raised to 10 baabucks or higher. A proposal like this would leave no time for new officials to get used to their position for someone ousting them of it. Plus, it doesn’t seem fair to oust an official even if they’re performing dutifully.

@Axmann: What would you want the game to become? What’s your view for this dynasty? Your ideas about what the game should be like seem quite different from mine, and that’s OK; but if I know what they are, I’m more likely to produce proposals you like. (Are you trying to win, by the way? Or just to participate?)

Note that we’re building a game, not a community; you can expect lots of corruption and backstabbing, etc., in the dynastic rules. (We are a community, but that’s what the core rules are for, as compared to the dynastics.) Note that 2 Baabucks is actually quite a lot, it’s a weekly Official salary; and if you had to spend five weeks saving up to perform one action, I imagine people might get bored of the lack of things to do.

I would prefer 3 myself

Dynaties tend to last about a month, by the way, Axmann, so something costing five weeks’ salary is probably too much. (We should probably put the average dynasty duration in the FAQ, really.)

@Kevan, I computed it out and I’ve found that the average length of the last 15 dynasties is 21.5 days long, assuming the wiki is correct.

@Winner: Seems about right. Other then how the April Fools dynatsy from last yr worked out lol.

If you get ousted you can just immediately reclaim your position

[Winner] Over the history of the whole game, it’s significantly longer - from the start of the first “round” until the end of the most recent dynasty has been 3010 days, and dividing that by 88 gives 34.2 days as the average dynasty length. Would be good to see an actual bell curve, though.

[Travis] No, we fixed that.

Travis: Your Admin Herder deadline is within 48 hours in regards to every proposal *EXCEPT*, “Record Keeper”.

udqbpn: Your Animal Welfare Administrator deadline is within 48 hours.

@Kevan - I’ve bashed out a list of dynasties by duration, which you can find here - feel free to have a play.

(Some initial things that stand out: Dynasties have gotten more homogenous since around 40 onwards; dynasties up until 40 seem to average at a month by default, instead tending to come in at either more than 40 days or fewer than 20, with only a few in between:

Meanwhile, 34 days is the most common dynasty length, but the functional window for for dynasty lengths is between 19 and 43 days:

Also, interestingly, July is the least common month for successful DoVs.)

Ooh, I love graphs.

Apparently, 2010 had the highest amount of DoVs in a single year so far with a staggering 15 (including Roujo’s in Kevan’s Seventh). The lowest was 8 in 2006.

Would prefer 3 B$ anyway.
I’d like to see the dynasty length against number of sheeps graph. (Maybe I’m going to do it with the active players at the end of the dynasty, today I’m so bored)

CoV , as I think it should be more expensive.

CoV , I don’t think the ousted sheep should receive the money.
