[ Reproposing verbatim, as it got a majority - I don’t think Bucky’s objections are strong enough to risk upsetting other voters by rewording anything, and I don’t know what Hix’s were. ]

Reword Law 1.9 (Victory and Ascension) to:-

If a Monk (other than the Abbot) believes that e has achieved victory, e may Make a Post to the Blognomic weblog in the Declaration of Victory category, detailing this.

Upon doing so, the game immediately game goes into Hiatus, if it hasn’t already. During this time, the only game actions that may be taken are those covered by Laws 1.2, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.9.

Every Monk may respond to an active DoV saying whether or not e believes the poster has achieved victory (using the FOR and AGAINST icons).

The Declaration of Victory may be resolved after 24 hours, or after 12 hours if the Abbot has voted on it. Upon resolution, if a Quorum of Monks have voted on the DoV and more than half of those votes were in favour, then the DoV passes - otherwise the DoV fails, and if no other DoVs are still pending, the Hiatus ends.

When a DoV passes, all other active DoVs are failed, and a new Dynasty begins with the Monk who made the DoV as its Abbot. (That Monk may pass this role to another Monk at this point, if they wish.) The Hiatus continues until the new Abbot posts an Ascension Address to the BlogNomic weblog - this shall specify Abbot’s chosen theme for the new round, and may optionally include a proclamation that any number of Rules will be repealed, and that any keywords will be replaced with new theme-appropriate terms.
