Proposal: We Can’t Slack Off Again

Withdrawn. -Bucky

Create a new dynastic rule named “Last Resort” with the following body:

If the date is on or after the 20th of November, 2023, the Wizard with the most Stars has achieved victory (unless more than one Wizard has the most Stars).

If a Wizard has 0 Stars, they are not considered to be Ashamed; an Ashamed Wizard is not considered to be a Wizard for the purposes of the rule “Creating a Duel”. If all but one Wizard is Ashamed, that Wizard has achieved victory.

two basic win conditions, since I feel like we’re heading towards a Habanero-I-style limbo right now
I considered a Storm mechanic (a la Kevan XXXI) or some kind of duel tournament but neither really feels right

Rewarding freshness I don’t like. Its just there to protect new players.

Also I have concerns with just putting a date on things, as that encourages players in the lead to just try and drag out the dynasty because the fewer rounds that happen, the less likely someone is to catch up.

Also we have the achievement system in place, I’d like to at least try and use that. We can certainly move up the date so people can start earning achievements sooner though I just haven’t had free proposal slots to add anything with

I just feel like when we do get around to adding achievements, they’re all just going to be voted down because of self interest

removed the freshness clause, probably a better idea to just not have a tiebreaker

“not considered to be Ashamed” reads like it wasn’t meant to have the “not”.

against freshness should not be a tiebreaker

I was looking at an old post, sorry.

Still, I’m keeping my vote because I agree with trying to use the achievements system. Most stars just by itself is boring.

against for reasons already explained.

if we do want to ditch achievements and add a timer, it should be round based not time based.
