Unblocking a Chakra: Dynasty 44

As per “Community Respect”:

An alive lifeform may occasionally make a post to the blog called “Request for Victory”.
All lifeforms who are currently alive should respond to the request with either a FOR or AGAINST vote.
If all alive lifeforms vote FOR the request for victory, the lifeform who posted the Request for Victory post has achieved victory.

Being that I am the only alive lifeform, I vote FOR and thus have achieved victory.

Although you are the only Time Monk in Dynasty 44, you are not the only alive lifeform, as alive lifeform is strictly the same as Time Monk. Sorry, I don’t think this is legit.

I’m reversing it; feel free to CfJ.

(Not reversing it, as you don’t appear to have enacted the Chakra in the GNDT, but I am vaguely stating the intent of having done so.)

I somewhat figured that would be the case. Back to the drawing board, then.

That seems to be a rule from Dynasty 45, not Dynasty 44. (It’s recorded as Ruleset 44 on the wiki, but the Hard Rules specify that we go by “the chronological order as set out on the first page of the BlogNomic Wiki”, which numbers it as 45.)

Or are we arguing - quite reasonably - that “Round One” was not a Dynasty, and all the numbers are off by one?

The ruleset references Dynasty 33 to refer to the First Dynasty of Elias IX, which is 34th in the list, so I was going by ruleset number rather than list number.

I don’t think that works because there is no ruleset numbered 47, as I discovered when I was collecting information for the UTD. I think the list numbers are the official numbers.

“Whenever a dynasty is referred to by number, the number related back to the chronological order as set out on the first page of the BlogNomic Wiki. This list is considered to be gamestate for the purposes of this dynasty.”
