NB that none of my dialogue in the above is actually in violation of the rule, as the Capital is not considered to be a City for the purposes of that rule.

Also at least one of the lines attributed to me in the above was written by Clucky.

Good point on being the Capital, I’ve taken those out. And reattributed the line from Clucky.

FWIW, although Josh can’t break the rule due to not being a player for the purpose of most rules, it might still make sense to include Josh’s lines as context for the others.

I think the relevant precedence rule is rule 3, “If a Building Blocks Rule explicitly says that it cannot be overruled by a Dynastic Rule, that Building Blocks Rule has precedence over a Dynastic Rule, otherwise a Dynastic Rule has equal precedence as that Building Blocks Rule;”. This one doesn’t say it can’t be overruled, and so I would expect dynastic rules to be able to override it. It is, however, currently unclear to me whether or not a dynastic rule saying it’s overriding a Building Blocks rule is sufficient to actually do the override (because that isn’t listed as one of the things that affects prioritisation, despite common sense implying it probably should) – it may be, with the current ruleset, that it would have to specify a narrower scope for the override to actually work correctly.

Mine was mostly forgetting that all posts counted as private and not just direct pm to another player.

And not trying to sound ignorant, I legit commented 30 mins or so after Josh gave the heads up.
