BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

I agree with the rule change.
But I don’t fully understand the Influence reset part.

In the absence of any kind of explanation about what the “conflict of interest” is, or what the Influence twiddling (+2 to me, +3 to Ayesdeeef, +2 to Delcooper11 and -1 to EliasIX, at the time of the comment) is meant to be about.

Limiting to one Bid per Appointment makes sense, though.

Explanations!

Conflict of Interest: Papabiles are those with 10 Interest or higher. Thus, the opportunity for infinite Bids allows anyone to remove their status as a Papabile at any time and is problematic.

+2 Kevan: I’ll be honest Kevan, this is just meant to screw you over. Hopefully the other voters can get behind it.

+3 ayesdeeef: It was actually +1 at the time of Proposal, and is meant to get me back to the middle of the pack where the benefits tend to be in a majority wins game such as Nomic.

+2 delcooper11: This was actually +0 at the time of Proposal. Little explanation needed.

-1 EliasIX: Again, meant to alienate a Player by giving them an excessively low Influence, thus increasing the odds of victory for the rest of us.

As this does not sufficiently pander to me.

If you’re concerned about infinite Bids, you could just propose to undo any that might happen. Setting Influence to specific values just wipes out any changes that happen for other reasons, and lets the enacting admin quickly spend some and have it refunded.

I can see how we would reset the loss of Influence, but how could we undo the fact that multiple Bids were placed? Are you Proposing that we reward infinite Bidders by giving them their Influence back?

If anything, Kevan, this Proposal benefits you most. You can Bid 10 times and then hop back up to 12 Influence.
