BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

May want to correct the spelling of my name to have this actually do anything. Typo notwithstanding this has my vote

Odd; I was consistently right in the commentary and consistently wrong in the body of the CFJ. It should be fixed now, though.

Wait a minute, I can’t actually vote on this because I’m idle. Dang it

The superseding language is probably redundant. Unless the resulting gamestate values are illegal (not the steps to get there, but the end result) CfJ instructions should allow pretty much any operations.

That’s how I’ve always interpreted it, anyway.

I also think it’s redundant, but added it just in case – it would be a huge problem to be uncertain as to whether or not a player is idle, as that could amplify into uncertainty as to whether or not a DoV legally passed, which could in turn leave us uncertain as to whether or not a dynasty has ended or not. The CFJ rule states that it can’t be overruled by dynastic rules, but doesn’t explicitly state that it ignores restrictions in dynastic rules, so I stated that in the CFJ for safety.

I’d be happy for Habanero to rejoin the dynasty - after this race, when all of the attendant issues become easier to resolve.

(I might shift my vote on this if Proposal: The old activity poke looks like passing.)

Oh, sorry, I didn’t notice that this was within the 4 hour window. Apologies.

To be honest I might not unidle at all if this fails, this ruleset is an absolute beast and I had a good grasp of it before (being there while it was getting built) but I’ve sort of lost it

I don’t know that I’ve ever had it, completely.

I’m not a million miles away from proposing to lower the victory threshhold, or chop. I can conceieve of ways to straighten everything out but they are major.

Let’s at least wait until this Race is done, and then see where we are at.

I don’t think I’d be too opposed to a merit-random outcome either (although there might be a lot of debate about what the right probabilities are, and whether to do it after race 4, 5 or 6).

I feel like I’ve had a grip on most parts of the dynastic ruleset at some point or other, but have difficulty remembering the whole thing at once, and that often leads to accidentally skipping steps when taking actions.
