BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Grammar issue: “other than blog” isn’t right.

I don’t think that this needs to be formalised.

Imperative thing: “they must update the “Account Names” wiki page to list their blog name” - what if they don’t?

I’m not sure if we need this, or how far it needs to go. Really, it should probably go further and say that Related Accounts aren’t recognised by the game until the holotype blog player has said something to that effect - it’s odd that the wiki account gets to do the Account Names confirmation. (A “User:Kevan2” wiki account could update Account Names to claim that they’re me, and start taking game actions. Which I could CfJ, but why not cover it in advance?)

It might be enough to just add a more general “may not mislead other Electors into thinking they are someone else” into Fair Play, which would cover other contact methods whenever we have a dynasty with a vague “take an action by informing the Emperor” rule.

>  “User:Kevan2” wiki account could update Account Names to claim that they’re me, and start taking game actions

This would be in violation of “An Elector or Idle Elector may not operate a Related Account whose identifier is designed to mislead other Electors into thinking they are someone else.”

I think the “may not mislead other Electors into thinking they are someone else” is a good start, but I’m worried its insufficient. It does not enable rules which formally allow communication via the slack.

There is also the case where instead of taking wiki actions as Kevan2, designed to make people think its Kevan performing the actions when its really me, I take my wiki actions as “BlognomicUser252350”, designed to make people simply not sure who performed the actions. This, I feel, should also be a violation of fair play. But then you run into this issue where there isn’t a clear line between “Username which is okay because its close enough” and “username which isn’t okay”. Which I guess we just can just cfj if it comes up? Nice thing about fair play violations is they aren’t a binary state. Anything in the grey area we can probably just go “okay lets change this wiki username to be clearer”. Formalizing stuff just removes much of the potential risk.
