Fail all other pending non-Core Proposals, repeal all Dynastic Rules, and declare a Metadynasty with no theme.
Here’s the extreme other end of the spectrum. I don’t know how much traction it’ll pick up. shrugs

Sometimes a lose state is what is required.

. It’s been pointed out that this next dynasty is almost certainly the switch dynasty, and that’s a poisoned chalice for anyone who wants player focus on what’s going on. Under the circumstances, a frivolous throwaway might be better.
ais523:
Perhaps any metadynasty created by this rule should be explicitly concerned with the Switch, and that should be the theme of the dynasty?
I can easily imagine a dynasty whose purpose is to just act as a prelude to some other dynasty elsewhere, e.g. by defining a few gamestate variables that would likely subsequently be usable in a new dynasty without knowing its theme.

we’re probably gonna have a metadynasty when we switch to WP anyways. Might mean back to back metadynasties which wouldn’t be much fun.

[Clucky] Why would we have to start a second metadynasty at the instant of the switch, instead of continuing the first one? The switch is just a moment when we start using a different blog.

What is the plan for the switch?
I was thinking it would be more “run a trial game alongside normal blognomic, and then assuming it goes well merge the gamestates” like we did before. (note how the second dynasty of josh didn’t actually have a winner. it just ended when we merged blogs)
There is also something to be said about how 75th trombone won’t have the WP blog ready for another three weeks. So while a planned dynasty that has a built in timer and is only designed to last a month would work well, a non-planned meta dynasty would leave us in this weird state where we need to make sure the dynasty doesn’t end to soon.
