I’d rather the DoV was the sole arbiter of this.

MMMmmh. The “Fifth Dynasty of ais523” is not covered by the ruleset, I think. This may or may not be a problem.

And off topic, you said that you like Dynasties with lots of CfJ, didn’t you? I hope you are satisfied :P

Ely: that was me, and yes, I am :P

See my comment on the DoV.

Was that you? Sorry. I was not a sheep at the time, I just followed mildly.

I’d prefer we go with the DoV… A win is a win.

(Unless it’s given back to the Dynasty’s Emperor, apparently. =P)

Ely has a point. The Ruleset doesn’t know what “the Fifth Dynasty of ais523” is, I think.

You can go with a common-sense approach, though. The ruleset knows that a dynasty is, so it’s difficult to interpret in any other way than the intended.

Not that the ruleset really needs to know what the Fifth Dynasty of ais is anyway; so long as the gamestate does. If I raised a CfJ which referred to “Declaration of Victory: Mortgage Loan”, the ruleset wouldn’t understand that either.

Not sure I see the need for a system where players can be awarded “wins”.

Arguments about the ruleset “knowing” things seem a little baffling. The ruleset doesn’t know what “hair” is, but we could have a proposal giving a prize to every player who can prove that they have red hair.

Kevan: Well, the hair thing would be settled by the “normal English usage” thing in the glossary, but I guess that Josh and you are right in that there is really only one way of interpreting this.

I’m still against, though. If the consensus is that my action ‘broke’ the game (which I don’t think it did), resetting the game to just before the action or starting a metadynasty would be better solutions than handing me the win per CfJ.
