Replace
If no noise has been heard from the Crypt for at least 24 hours (noise is heard from the Crypt whenever a Power Action is taken or the Crypt is Entered)
with
If it has been at least 24 hours since the Crypt was last entered, and at least 12 hours since the last Power Action was taken
Turns out that the proposal queue is unreasonably holding up the main game at the moment; due to the limits on how fast the queue can flow, people are waiting to take Power Actions until the ruleset is more friendly to them, and that’s leading to the timer being reset so often nothing can happen.
I still don’t think this new rule is perfect, but it has to be better than the current situation.
[Josh] Is that a joke or misclicked vote, or do you have reservations?
I have objections but this is already quorate so I’m not going to strain to turn the result over.
I just want it to remain on the record that I think the whole mechanic is bad and I would prefer that it wasn’t in place, tinkered-with or no.
This is only a quorum for “12 hours is better than 24”, I wouldn’t take it as an endorsement of anything more than that. If you don’t like the mechanic and it’s not a good fit for the time you have available to run the dynasty, let’s try something else.
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.
Chiiika: she/her
Noise is just a standalone thing in the two lines of rules you mentioned, though we might need to change the gameboard header specifically to Last Entered: and Last Power Actions.
