Ascension Address
I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show ‘em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one… stayed up! And that’s what you’re gonna get, lad: the strongest castle in these islands.

Ascension
During a low-activity point in the dynasty, Josh proposed Wakey Wakey as a way to get the other players' attention by introducing a much less complex win condition, which he would easily win due to their inactivity if they didn't vote against this. Despite this, enough players voted for it to get it enacted. While the other players eventually became more active, this simpler win condition remained, and Josh used it effectively to snare the win by simply taking less damage. The irony was that it was Josh who opposed the proposal In Need Of Repair, yet he used this very rule to ensure that he had less than 10 damage on the Fortnight where everyone else took more.
