Will this end up having a mild rich-get-richer effect?

Maybe limit it to a one-time use that gets reset whenever the Mindjacker Ascends?

Or a single communal use for each tier for proposals that affect that tier?

More of an endgame lockdown than rich-get-richer, I think. The higher level players wouldn’t be able to do anything they couldn’t do before, they just get the option to shut down catch-up proposals.

One-time uses don’t seem like they’d pan out while proposals are free: if you burn up a one-time veto on my proposal, I can just repropose it, or propose two copies in the first place.

This causes some subtle admin headaches to figure out whether a proposal was validly vetoed.

It also definitely shouldn’t affect the ability of Mindjackers to amend stuff on their own level.

[Bucky] I’m not sure what subtle headaches you mean, but the Ascendant can chime in with a regular veto (even pre-emptively) if somebody writes a proposal in a deliberately complex way that would render any higher-level vetoes ambiguous.

What’s the objection to own-level amendments? It seems an obvious fit for the narrative.

Also, as much as I liked Halucinations. This seems like a dynasty where this could lead to a technically fair softlock/stall.

hard against

Is “hard against” more or less than “vehemently against”?

i’m actually fine with this (it’s very thematic!), provided we introduce some higher-tier rules that make things harder for players who’re ahead, to balance things out in the long run.

Agreeing with lemon. Perhaps it should be harder for people to veto if the difference in levels is too high. If you’re in a high plane of existence, it should be difficult to peek way in.

nah.

@JonathanDark essentially, I’ve played dynasties before that meddled with voting mechanics themselves and it was not enjoyable

TDS has me convinced
