Wait for it
If we don’t want to chance a repeat of an instant win, help me get “It Can’t Be That Easy” passed, and don’t set any Targets until that Proposal has been enacted.

Granted. I’m not sure what the purpose would be, since Masterminds can’t declare victory. Bragging rights, somehow?
FWIW, I decided against waiting because I didn’t want to slow down the dynastic gameplay too much.
My new Target is pretty ironic – it’s a word that was recently removed from the ruleset.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.

Waiting would be scammable by Masterminds – I can wait until everyone else is asleep, then roll just my Target. If I happen to hit a word that’s in the ruleset already, that would allow me to get an instant win that I don’t have to share with anyone else. If I don’t, it wouldn’t leave me any worse off than before.
I leave it up to the rest of you as to whether you want to risk the possibility that I do that (or even that Josh does that!)
