Proposal: Om Nom Nom

Times out and passes 10-5. —Brendan

Adminned at 17 Nov 2010 07:58:35 UTC

All Students immediately have a 50% chance of being given a Loved Dean. If they aren’t given one, they are given a Loathed Dean.

I wanted this proposal to be “All Students who commented on this proposal, if their comment contained “I want Candy!”, immediately have a 50% chance of being given a Loved Dean. If they aren’t given one, they are given a Loathed Dean.” It would have been more work for whoever admined this, so I decided to drop it. Please say “I want Candy!” anyway because I liked that part.

Hmmm… This will bring the amount of deans to 21. This means that, if 14 of them are loathed, the school goes STRAIGHT TO DARK ASCENDENCY. Dang.

According to Wolphram Alpha, that’s a 9.462% chance. Wow.

You’re wrong, though; “while the number of Loathed Deans held by all Students is at least twice the number of Loved Deans held by all Students, and the total number of all Deans is greater than 25...”

Roujo: he/him

15-11-2010 23:04:46 UTC

Ah. We’d still be lacking the 25 minimum. Be right back.

I propose a raid on the candy shop. I already bought 3 Jelly Deans - and I can’t wait to see if I got a rare one!

I’m hosting an unwrapping party on the 17th at 0:01 UTC. Everyone who wants to join, meet me in the Grand Hallway with as many Jelly Deans as you can! =P

See you guys there.

COV against Per Roujo. Even if it doesn’t put us straight into DA it gets us awfully close.

It might send us to Dark Ascendency, yes. It might also send us very, very far from it. This proposal won’t make Dark Ascendency happen easier, it will make something happen sooner. If you don’t want Dark Ascendency, propose something that lets you eat your Loathed Dean to get rid of them, or something like that.

Opening Jelly Deans from the candy shop will have the same effect, only slower.

Besides, I want a Sugar Rush.

Oh, BTW, I’m joining the unwrapping party tonight. =) I bought two Jelly Deans (couldn’t resist a Chocolate Basilisk) and I’ll open them then. arrow

Your logic here is a fascinating political allegory, Roujo.  “Aiieee, this could put us into Dark Ascendancy!” “No it couldn’t, not unless we get more deans.” “Oh, right, let me get some deans. Okay.  Aiieee, now this could put us into Dark Ascendancy!”

@Brendan: I know. At least now I have a reason to panic. =)

Plus, I can eat any Loathed Dean I have, increasing the total amount of Loved ones without endangering the school. Unless you count the fact that my candy are the ones that reached the 25-dean limit. I sure don’t.

Also, I might have read too much of Agoran history. Messing things up looks like a national pasttime there, and it may have affected my judgement. =P

Greytyphoon:

New info!

I opened my Deans alone (even Roujo wasn’t at his party D= ), and I have a Loved one and a Loathed one. This means that the chances of Dark Ascendancy have just decreased!

W00t!

Hi Richard, and welcome to BlogNomic. =)

Before you vote, you have to make a post on the front page asking to join the game. It’s a small formality, and when an Admin adds you to the list of active players you’ll be able to vote all you want. =)

I’m looking forward to playing with you! =)
