Proposal: This dynasty is going nowhere

Times out 6-5-3 -Darth, who seems to have the most votes unless he miscounted horribly

Adminned at 01 Jun 2010 11:11:15 UTC

Repeal all dynastic rules.  With each EVC on this proposal, a name of one active Blognomicker may be given.  Whichever player is mentioned in the most EVCs achieves victory.

It’s been fun, but it’s looking unlikely to actually end up playable, and will probably end with either a very controversial scam (like how Purplebeard’s most recent dynasty did) or a vote-for-a-winner proposal. I’d prefer the latter, so why not skip to the end now, rather than letting it drag on for months?

against  I dunno…I’m kinda against jumping to conclusions…I’d give this dynasty a bit longer.  Maybe we SHOULD make a new rule banning new Hooks at this point, after all…

@h2g2guy: This dynasty has lasted about the average length of a dynasty, so this isn’t quite “jumping”.

@ScrumHalf: I would strongly appreciate it if you would repeat your vote and include a player’s name in your EVC, to help decide a winner.

I think that this dynasty could take a long time to actually get to a point where it would be playable. There is still too much undefined, which just makes it all the harder to figure out what to define and how.

h2g2guy:

You know what?  I’m gonna make a CoV, just because a new dynasty is acceptable, I guess. 

imperial Ienpw III

Whoever wins, though, I implore you to make Rule 2.3 (the rule about hooks) into a Core Rule, with the exception of the Hook Limitations.  I think that worked REALLY well in this dynasty.  Added some order to the chaos (if only just a little).

Klisz:

31-05-2010 01:18:21 UTC

That could work, but I don’t think it’s likely. It is very, very, rare (I don’t think it’s ever happened) for a dynastic rule to get promoted to core.

Klisz:

31-05-2010 01:19:14 UTC

@h2g2guy: Please don’t vote for Ien, as that means if he wins this proposal does nothing (he can’t legally make a DoV).

I don’t know, a specific Proposal allowing Ienpw to win might override the restriction on him winning otherwise. I’d like to see it play out.

I’m still with Ienpw!

Re: the core rules part, maybe it can be something as simple as a glossary entry for “Hook” that also mentions that when a Proposal intentionally introduces the Hook, it is permitted but not required for {curly brackets} to be set around the Hook (as a shorthand signal to indicate that the term is deliberately left undefined in the manner of a Hook), and the curly brackets have no game effect and can be removed from the ruleset at any time by any admin.

h2g2guy:

31-05-2010 19:15:54 UTC

@spikebrennan:  That’s a better idea, actually.  I really don’t care how it’s done, I just think that making hooks clear should be a permanent part of Blognomic.
