I believe this prevents Josh from sharing any private information we’re allowed to know

Damn, a straight-up NDA? Perhaps in 10 years, we will see a rule with a binding arbitration clause. Also, does this actually work? Once the dynasty is over, this rule will be repealed along with the rest of the dynastic ruleset.

[Clucky] Oh, my mistake, I was juggling this around so much that I lost the important “after the DoV passes” bit somewhere. I’ll repropose it at some point.

Self-kill.

[Vovix] It works as much as the earlier After the End proposal would have: it’s just letting Josh know how a majority want him to handle the endgame. Neither “actually works” - this one is only a “should not” and the other asked that he “shall be open” to talking about the information, in both cases he could do the opposite and break no rules - but they’re clear enough that a deliberate breach would affect his general Imperial reputation in future dynasties.

My intent was that After The End has some soft power in that Josh “should” do these things (while its still in the Ruleset), and it was worded so that an Emperor could choose to keep it during an AA and it would still, on a formal level, have that soft power.

Of course I agree with that the social expectation part is very relevant too and it is also part of After The End.
