Proposal: Unflip the Table

Fails due to Failed Ultimatum - Misty

Adminned at 04 May 2023 21:48:58 UTC

Repeal the rule “The Chopping Block”.

Add the following text to the end of the first paragraph of the rule The Building:

The Building, the Building Number and Building Stability are all publicly tracked.

Make all Open Demolitions Ended without performing their Ending Action. Repeal the dynastic rule “Demolition”.

Set the Building Number, the Building Stability, the quantity of Stone in the Quarry, and every Engineer’s personal dynastic gamestate variables to their respective default values. Set the Threat to an empty list.

 

Set the the Building to be seven Levels, each of which contains three Wooden Blocks.

There’s several issues that would need correcting first:

* Set the Building, Building Number, and Building Stability to be publicly tracked (see Welcome to the Orphanage)

* Either remove Demolitions entirely, adjust it so that Builds are not prevented, or allow other Engineers to close the Demolition event, in order to prevent any single Engineer from halting the entire dynasty by refusing to end the Demolition.

“no Proposal may be posted that proposes to make any changes to the dynastic ruleset except for those that make changes to the rules contained within the section named The Chopping Block”

Is any otherwise allowable proposal that happens to make changes to that section thereby allowed, even if it also makes changes to other sections?

[Redtara] Yes, that sounds right.

against I would rather play a new dynasty under a different Emperor.

against Yeah, this is illegal. Chopping Block seems to be accidentally constructed to take multiple proposals to unwind into a playable state.

Actually, check that, this proposal does “make changes to the rules contained within the section named The Chopping Block” by repealing them. So it’s not illegal on Redtara’s grounds. Oops.

against Even though I advocated for some changes in the Proposal, I’ve since realized that I really don’t want to start this dynasty over either.
