To rule 2.2.2, Climax Acts, add the following.
In a Climax Act, each Scripter may post a number of scenes equal to their Popularity, rounded up to the nearest whole number; a Scripter with a negative Popularity or a Popularity of 0 may post 1 scene. The script section of each scene may be no longer than a number of words equal to the Royalties of the posting Scripter, to a minimum of 15.
Add the following to rule 2.5, Best in Show Votes:
The Scripter of whichever scene is voted Best Scene in a Climax Act may declare victory.

Qwazukee:
So, there is no penalty for having a negative Popularity and only a slight penalty for having (very few) Royalties? And you want to give yourself 5 times as many chances at it as everyone besides Gnauga?
If this proposal came after Act 10, I would probably support it, but not now.
Devenger:
Maybe if it was someone other than you posting this proposal. I probably shouldn’t have let you increase your Popularity with a previous proposal anyway, because that was somewhat cheap.
I decided early in this Dynasty to only use my veto to unlock the proposal queue. So this can still pass if people want it to.
Qwazukee:
Aw.
Kevan: he/him
Josh: he/him
Dev: Nah, I’ll s/k it. I thought that restricting myself to 20 words would be enough to ensure that this proposal wasn’t total self-interest, but evidently it wasn’t.
Your point about wanting a more creative ending is fairly taken, though; that was the thinking behind this, as I didn’t want something that was purely reliant on who had the best stats. I’m sure there’s a more elegant way of doing that, though.
