BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

As stated in the other CfJ, this is a mean-spirited attack on players for no reason other than that they played well, and I reject it utterly.

It also is self contradictory

It argues that glyphs never existed, but then only tries to ignore the influence generation from glyphs for a single round, not the entire game.

It ignores the influence generation from Glyphs for several rounds (including one in which Chiiika was the only beneficiary), going back to https://blognomic.com/archive/sweeping_the_glyph_under_the_mattress which explicitly upheld influence gains from Glyphs. Because those changes were upheld, I didn’t revert them (even though the changes weren’t initially legal), because the gain wasn’t technically from the glyphs – it was from the CFJ.

it literally doesn’t, given I gained influence from glyphs last round which I used to shatter

No you didn’t: https://blognomic.com/archive/kodas_third_expedition

Your only influence gain there was the basic 1 for having a Sepulchre.

rereading

also please note that we have only “upheld influence gained through glyphs”, but as no one had glyphs then no influence was gained through glyphs and instead it was gained through some other source and thus hasn’t been upheld

meaning were this to pass, the game would be in a super weird state

Clucky has mentioned that there were mistakes in the specific recalculations here: lemonfanta had no Sigils when she used her Imperial Favour, so that glyph construction, at least, would have worked.

So we shouldn’t be upholding miscalculated gamestate corrections.
