BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

I *think* this plays nice with pending proposals. Someone let me know if it doesn’t

I also think this is compatible with all the passing proposals (although it entirely overwrites the effect of “Pulling Out The Stops”).

I’d ideally like to defer to the newer players on this one (rather than deferring to Richardo) – my main reservation is that it may make tracking the gamestate somewhat awkward, and I’m particularly concerned that someone may end up trying to take a power action while the Organ is playing by accident.

if they do, Josh will hopefully catch it. same as if someone makes a power action while the organ is playing now.

and really it just extends pulling out the stops to make the switch automatic in order to prevent the “camp the time the organ can go on” behavior. its just at that point, you don’t really need the separate rule.

The thing about organ-camping is that it probably isn’t a huge problem, as you don’t gain much advantage from it; it’s sort of a “communal timing scam” where anyone can turn the organ on, and you only gain an advantage if nobody else is organ-camping and you want to do an action late. So while a fix with no negative side effects would be a good thing, it’d only be a very slightly good thing, and this may be a case where the negatives outweigh the positives.

Ach, I suppose I have to vote on this.

I’m not sure that this is a good idea - but sure, let’s see.
