Set Dynastic Distance and Imperial Deferentials to Inactive.
Make a new rule titled “Majority Vote” with the text
If a Program has voted DEFERENTIAL on a proposal, that vote is instead considered to be valid and either FOR (if at least one Program other than the author has voted FOR it and the proposal has more valid FOR votes than valid AGAINST votes) or AGAINST (in all other cases).
Make a new rule titled “An Emperor’s Victory” with the text
If the Flynn ever reaches a point this dynasty where they have achieved victory, they instead do not.
If the Flynn has commented on this proposal “Second place counts”, amend “An Emperor’s Victory” to “If the Flynn ever reaches a point this dynasty where they have achieved victory, the Program next closest to the victory condition achieves victory (breaking ties randomly).”
With the MPC most likely playing the gameplay role that would naturally be filled by the Emperor otherwise, I see no reason to not participate like any other Program this dynasty.
If you see a reason then vote against.
Kevan: he/him
“next closest to the victory condition” is likely to be unclear in anything other than a straight race-to-X-points game, though.
