Proposal: Starting at the Finish Line

Reached quorum 6 votes to 1. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 14 Jul 2023 16:24:57 UTC

In the rule “Initialisation”, after the text “If two or more of a Machinist’s own Agendas have been Fulfilled for the last 24 hours,” add the following text:

and it has been at least 7 days since Initialisation Phase Two was repealed,

It could be possible to craft an Agenda that is not considered “too easy” at first glance, but due to an intentional or accidental scam or otherwise complicated set of mechanics that the Great Machine doesn’t spot, might be fulfilled within a few days. This change allows Machinists without such an Agenda to have a fighting chance against an advantage like this.

I’m open to changing the number of days from 7 to some other number. I just picked something that seemed reasonable.

for the idea behind this dynasty is to see how hidden mechanics will influence the fleshing out of the ruleset, so ensuring that there’s time for that to play out at least a bit is preferable to me.
