I doubt the oligarchy thing will matter much; there aren’t all that many completely new registrations at this point.

That, and one month is far too long. Also the terrible terminology his hilarious.

MMh I’d like this Dynasty to be something more original (while I see how making Players Rules may be the wrong way to start)

oligarchy less than a month after potential registration crisis = bad, but apart from that, it’s fine. So FOR without the rider.

Also, this probably goes quite well with Factions, depending on the details.

I am personally screwed with the rider. I know I’m not an old timer, but I wouldn’t really appreciate being largely left out of what may be the whole dynasty. I’m somewhat worried about explicitly creating a limited aristocracy (not that I wouldn’t try and join it), considering I have little reputation in BN, but something is better than nothing.

I am voting without the rider myself (explicit author vote)

You did not change the Quorum. Would this be a major issue? I think so.

oligarchy is cool

oligarchy is cool

oligarchy is not cool

Members of the Jury cannot make a Declaration of Victory unless all active players are Members of the Jury.

Players who have registered to play Blognomic less than 1 month ago from the current date cannot become Members of the Jury.

......

So you’d have to wait a month before declaring victory and hope no one else joins?

Also, not cool.

, hold the oligarchy

Or just stop being a member of the Jury. That point can be defined by a subsequent proposal.

Do people want me to repropose factions?  I’m not sure this and factions would work together.

I say let’s try something different. But I’m 1/44.

Terminology would cause potential problems.  Someone could just the faction “the Jury” and anyone in that group would be a member of the Jury.

I am different.

Amnistar: factions? what are factions?

Counting votes twice without modifying quorum is too big a deal.

CoV per Kevan. Please repropose with fix.

Per Kevan. The idea is nice, though.

Per Kevan. Also, what is an “active player”?

I do like the idea of voting blocks, in which an additional vote is granted if x members of y voting block vote a certain way.The entire dynasty could be based on shaping and changing these blocks, in both game and meta-game. In fact, I’m going to work out some kinks and propose this for a later dynasty. Feel free to steal the idea, if you like.

per Kevan. I loved the idea.

Kevan: What do you propose as an alternative to counting votes twice? I do not personally see the problem you express.

[arthexis] Once there are eight jury members, they can cast 16 votes, which is probably going to be quorum-breaking by that point. It’s as much that “count the votes of some players twice, you can check their identities by comparing them to the GNDT” is fiddly for the admins to keep track of, though.

Kevan: What about adding special rules to the vote for easier counting? Like, they have to use an arrow or a special phrase to have their vote double counted?

For quorum breaking shenanigans.
