BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

tad confused

I think it is considered one of those unwritten rules of conduct that someone should not just come in and change the theme mid-dynasty.

However, because it is not officially stated: The new theme for this Dynasty is evil chickens.

See how ridiculous the lack of this rule is?

(Oh yeah. Forgot to put a .)

Save evil chickens for your Dynasty…

I’ll vote against them in this one.

The theme has no specified effect on the game or its players, so there’s no need to regulate it. If someone says “the new theme is evil chickens”, we can politely ignore them (the same way that an evil chicken fan can ignore the dynasty’s theme and just propose stuff about evil chickens).

One downside to making the theme into explicit gamestate is that the narrator can’t change it a couple of days into the dynasty, if the players have gone off on an interesting tangent.

The color scheme used to be in the Gamestate too, but we removed it as it was usually some other player who actually picked out the colors.

These are good points.    (The evil chickens were, of course, just a demonstration.)

COV, as I just realized how bad a “Rodlen is DDA Commander Forever” dynasty would be.
