BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

I don’t know how I feel about dynastic history also being gamestate. It feels like that could lead to shenanigans, even though it provides a benefit in protecting the historical record.

Depends on if we need previous dynasties for current dynasties

I have no idea how archiving works, so can’t say anything about this

This doesn’t actually introduce any official archiving or make dynastic history gamestate. Part of why I held off on that bit is getting it right. But I don’t think it should be possible to keep using the Sublogical Genomics Laboratory gamestate page by default just because it didn’t get renamed. And I think its good to ensure copying the ruleset step is done

Not sure what we’d gain from the unproposed idea of explicitly making old rulesets and gamestate pages into active gamestate, though, particularly when any existing “illegal” changes to them will get locked in (and any future such changes endorsed by Ascension upholds if we don’t notice them happening).

I disagree with Clucky’s assertion that this doesn’t make dynastic history gamestate. By the act of regulating the content or creation of specific wiki pages, that makes it gamestate. Per the Appendix definition of Gamestate:

Gamestate
Any information which the Ruleset regulates the alteration of.

True, but only true for the current dynasty’s anticipated ruleset archive page, I think? Once we move into in Dynasty 231 the ruleset will only regulate the creation of the page “Ruleset 231”, so “Ruleset 230” (and all previous rulesets) will stop being gamestate.

Ah, good point there. I’m more comfortable with this idea knowing that it wouldn’t make the entirety of dynastic history gamestate.
