Declaration of Victory: Yet Another Five Gold Medals

After 12 hours, and with a quorum of FOR votes, with the FOR vote of the Director of Operations and no AGAINST votes, this DoV is enacted, and thus was the shortest dynasty record beaten. - lilomar

From Rule 2.2 (Competitions), which hasn’t been repealed with the beginning of this dynasty, “Befuddleds can only [create a competition] if they have prior approval from a proposal or a different rule”. Per Kevan’s interpretation, which was approved by the other players, I can do the very same thing! I know the Ruleset mentions Befuddleds instead of Agents, but that should have been changed with the Ascencion Adress.

I can’t update the GNDT because the columns are missing, but I should be able to as the rules didn’t change. =P

Having won five Gold Medals from the five Competitions I created, I declare victory. If this Ascencion Adress passes, I intend to give the mantle to Kevan because, well, I didn’t invent much. =P I just wanted to see if I could win a dynasty that quickly. (And win one at all, for that matter)

for Very impressive.

Oh, and if you do pass the mantle, I insist the resulting dynasty is called “The Eighth Dynasty of Kevan” even if it has the same theme as the seventh.

If I win, I promise I /will/ pass the mantle, as Kevan really deserved the Dynasty. I also agree that it should be named the Eight.

I just looked at the timestamps and if I win I believe this is among the shortest BlogNomic Dynasties ever, if it’s not /the/ shortest: 32 minutes from Ascencion Address to DoV. =P

I think it probably beats even the Fourth Dynasty of Josh, which was won after one proposal passed on the first day of the dynasty (and became known as the “April Fool’s” dynasty because it was so short and started on April 1).

Winning with zero proposals passed is, of course, even faster.

for Ha, good point. I must have been assuming the repeal to be automatic, but on reflection I don’t think that’s ever been the case.

Yay! Quorum has been reached, if I am not mistaken. =)

Now to wait one of two things:
a) This DoV reaches 12 hours of existence, and I win.
b) Someone decides to sink it and convinces people to sink it too.

Obviously, I’m hoping it’ll be a) =P

Nicely done. Can’t wait to see the write up for this one in the wiki.

Wow, Kevan of all people forgot to repeal dynastic rules in his AA?

Kevan: he/him

Oh, everyone slips up some time, I’m just glad it wasn’t in my DoV.

Maybe it’s worth flipping the ascension-repeal wording around to “repeal all rules except those specified”, given how rarely we keep rules from dynasty to dynasty? Accidentally repealing no rules is always going to be worse than accidentally repealing all of them, and one day this will happen with a less charitable player taking advantage of it.

for Roujo, you have officially usurped Purplebeard’s throne.

By the way, isn’t supposed to be ?

Oh, maybe. It was still one of the crazy Futurama icons when I made my DoV, so I just made a new one. Is the icon actually used anywhere else on the site, or just for DoVs?

Klisz:

It’s also used for CfJs.

Used to be, at least. I’m not sure if the two images are technically always-the-same, or can be different.

I see no reason not to make them different, at least.
