Add a new dynastic rule to the ruleset.  Call it “Citations” and give it the following text:

A Citation of a web page or blog post is a link that is explicitly labelled as a Citation and leads to that page or post .

Add a new Dynastic Rule to the ruleset.  Call it “Victory Practice Project” and give it the following text:

If a Student makes a Story Post that meets all of the following criteria, they Score:
*It brags about Scoring under this rule.
*Its author has not previously Scored due to this rule.
*It contains a Citation to a Proposal enacted during the current dynasty,
and that Student is the author of that Proposal,
and that Proposal created a Dynastic Rule.
*It contains a Citation to a blog post in which another Student truthfully claims to have Scored under a Rule that proposal created.

Perhaps I’m being nitpicky, but “claims to have Scored under a Rule that proposal created” could be read as under a rule that any proposal created because all rules are created via proposal.

Ragnar, that would be a syntactically weird reading - in order to mean what you say it would have to be “a Rule that a proposal created” or “a Rule that was created by a proposal”.

So…if you create a Dyanastic rule that lets someone else (successfully) Score, then you can get a point yourself?  That’s what this is saying, right?

If that is the case, why not just award the point to the rule-writer automatically?

for Grey, it seems people are generally against things that happen automatically and with no indication of happening. This way, we know that it’s happening, and we have a clear record that someone scored for this reason.
