Call for Judgment: What We Meant Was…

Unpopular with 5 votes AGAINST. Josh

note this only had 4 against votes when it failed, which was not quorum so should not have been failed—Clucky

actually, that means only 4 people were not against, which is less that Quorum, So failing was right even though comment was wrong—Clucky

Roll DICE115, then select the Nomicer from the list below where result of that dice roll falls within the inclusive number range listed next to that Nomicer’s name. The Nomicer thus selected has achieved victory.

  • ais523: 1-33
  • DoomedIdeas: 34-44
  • JonathanDark: 45-73
  • Kevan: 74-93
  • SingularByte: 94-115

This would fall under the agreement that this is what was intended to happen, and that current gamestate or interpretation of the Roll Off rule as written doesn’t matter if we all agree on what was intended from our common understanding (ais’ understanding aside). A chop based on Equity seems the most fair in any case.

If this is not agreed-to, then somehow victory must be achieved a different way, either by another CfJ with a different criteria, or by letting the dynasty continue with some other victory condition defined.

Not that I have much of a chance of winning but I’m starting to fear that we are ending dynasties with “rolling for luck”

The “roll for luck” was established early on. If that was not to your liking, why did you vote in favor of it?

Stepping in to assist shows that the idea of a roll-off to determine victory was unanimously agreed-to.

against I don’t mind going ahead and resolving the chop, but it seems fairer to play on and spend remaining Jokers while that happens, rather than locking down yesterday’s Equity values.

Ais attempted to deny other players their final Joker spends by invoking the Roll Off at 23:52 rather than even ten minutes later. It was a good plan, but if that plan failed then I don’t see a reason to agree to still allow the denial part of it to have worked.

I must have misread the proposal in that case

against I’d at least like to use my final Joker to up my chances a little before we roll off, so I’m voting against.

FWIW, I agree with Raven that I don’t like roll-off ends to dynasties. Part of the reason I voted for “Stepping in to assist” was that it was a theme-setting proposal, and part of the reason I voted for it was that it was scammable (not the “heuristic” scam – I spotted a different one).

What time was it failed? I think quorum might have been lower then, allowing 4 against votes to be enough to fail it.
