BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

“Replace all instances of “The Old King” with “Old King”” needs to explicitly say that it’s intending to amend Core, Special Case and Appendix - either in as many words, or with tags.

Otherwise the Tags rule will assume that you didn’t really mean it, and invalidate the first step of the proposal. (The Tags rule is there so that we can’t accidentally - or maliciously - wipe out something in core with a casual “change X to Y” enactment.)

Fixed.

Minor niggle in that this proposal abolished the The Old King fomulation and then immediately reinstates it in the second rule, but that’s more aesthetic than actual.

There’s a long-shot scam in here, as well, in that “to perish” has multiple meanings, including to lose its normal qualities, to rot, or to decay; should the Old King ever lose a capability or a tracked resource then an enterprising spirit (and remember that Brendan is always waiting in the wings) could argue that they have Perished, and I would personally feel compelled to vote for it.

for now, would like to see Perish defined more rigourously quickly (even just amending it to “performs the Perish action”).

I unidle; quorum is unchanged.

I’d probably vote against that kind of argument, unless there was a very strong basis for it. It doesn’t seem like it’ll be an urgent issue in any case.

:shrug:

I feel like by that reasoning, effects like “when a player casts a vote on a proposal” would trigger every time the player votes on a ballot initiative in their local jurisdiction and “idle player” affects everyone who is currently unemployed.

@vovix Worse arguments have stood.

(please note that I am de facto voting for; I agree that it’s not an urgent consideration but it’s also a very minor fix.)

I suppose if I die in real life, it would be quite flavor-appropriate to end the dynasty accordingly.
