Call for Judgment: Waaait a Minute

Reached quorum, 4-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Replace the first paragraph of the rule “Track Record” with:

Each Snail has a Track Record, which is a publicly tracked numerical score defined as being zero, plus 5 for each Gold Medal they have won in this dynasty, plus 3 for each Silver Medal they have won in this dynasty, plus 2 for each Bronze Medal they have won in this dynasty, plus 1 for each Paper Medal they have won in this dynasty.

Fail any pending DoVs, and consider all Snails to have not achieved victory in this dynasty at any time prior to the enactment of this CfJ.

I was looking through the dynastic history out of boredom, and I happened to see that in Ais523 IV, there was an amount of Gold and Silver medals defined. Josh has conveniently forgotten to specify in his recently enacted victory condition that the Medals have to be won in this dynasty, and also was conveniently active 14 years ago in Ais IV. He probably won enough Medals in that dynasty to instantly claim victory in this one. I feel this aspect of the game “needs urgent attention”. Hence, this CfJ is an attempt to shut him down before he pulls it off.

Wow, that’s a good catch. I admit I haven’t been part of a dynasty where someone used the variables from a past dynasty.

Very Josh to attempt something like this. He did something similar in Tantusar I, where he passed something that let you perform an action without preconditions if you had done it five times before and promptly used it to declare victory, having declared victory five times before.

Don’t remember that one at all. Nice to see everyone’s paranoia brains are firing though :D
