BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

In Desertfrog’s AA they posted “Desired workload: between hands-off and casual”, so I’m not sure that generating a Condition for each race will fall into that range, only because the “weighted according to their distribution in a standard Scrabble set” adds some additional work.

The Condition is indeed probably too much work, but can be easily changed.

The verb part combined with the intent mentioned in the flavor text definitely sounds interesting, and would likely allow some very surprising plays.

But I’m not playing the actual game, so I’ll let players choose whether they want a predefined set of immediately resolved actions, or almost unrestricted emperor-resolved actions

Moving is the Key to Victory was invalid, so we don’t have an “Emperor will evaluate” phase.

If my chosen verb is “WIN” and I explain to the group that my “interpretation of that verb as to how it should be rendered into an effect on the Gamestate” is that I’ve achieved victory in the current dynasty, what happens?

Kevan: I think the intent was for that evaluation phase to be determined by a later proposal (though I’m not sure if I understood it correctly)

With two players voting against, I will change my vote to — the core mechanic should ideally be something that we can agree about

Plus I’m also personally leaning towards having a predefined set of actions

Same. Sorry, Josh, it would be fun to have you, but this precondition to your joining just isn’t going to work. Maybe there’s another idea we could compromise on?

Wait is this a precondition proposal? Might be good to have some way to differentiate between them and regular ones

It can’t be one because the last two bullet points of Dynastic Reset are the wrong way around (we should fix this), so only “Idle Genetic Engineers” can post them at present.

It also doesn’t look like it was intended as one because Josh’s idle comment on the AA was made half an hour later.
