Make a new subrule to the Rule titled “In or out?” with the title “The Final Countdown” and the following text:
New Contestants (i.e. those who are becoming Contestants for the first time) and unidling Contestants have their Status set to Out.
This prevents someone from sneaking in at the last second and stealing the Dynasty. Now is a good time to unidle, and prepare for the Final Countdown.
Granted it probably wouldn’t work, as there will be a contestant or two who have build up the defenses of their room and have enough fame to stop the new contestant from winning, but just in case…
Yeah, hopefully won’t be an issue.
One thing I am worried about is Contestants sitting around Outside and then buying their way back in at the last second (quite anti-climactically). Do you have any ideas how to prevent something like that?
Actually, only those who are out could. Everyone else is still an evacuee, and so gets kicked out as soon as they walk back in.
If someone comes back In, they cease to be an Evacuee. That’s the issue I’m concerned about; it’s ok now, say if arthexis wanted to come back In, but it’s not great for returning at the last second after one has been sitting Out for ages.
Right, Arth Wobble and Psych would be able to come in legally, but they are all weak enough that it probably wouldn’t matter. However, anyone else would still be an Evacuee and so couldn’t bribe their way back in.
Quote from the Challenge:
“If an Evacuee ever becomes an Insider (for any reason), he ceases to be an Evacuee.”
That is the issue.
Naw, you can come back now, can’t you Psycho? Use Rules 2.21 and 2.20.
This is obviously meant to ensure that I do not win the dynasty, and has no purpose otherwise
Bucky, didn’t you stop playing because you were getting paranoid?
Yeah Bucky, I’m not trying to cut you out any more than I’m trying to prevent Kevan from winning. If you are concerned about it, then unidle (and, if you still feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to do anything for a couple days, until the bunker reaches a condition where it matters).
I don’t mind this, although I did try to set up the rules such that new/unidling contestants would be unlikely to make a difference unless they’d being doing well earlier in the dynasty.
