Proposals
- Location Based Menace - Defined a list of Locations that Partygoers might occupy, but added an Acoustic Guitar that prevented others sharing your location from gaining Party Score.
- Don't Tire Yourself - Defined Energy as a limiter on actions during a party - Partygoers had a budget of 10 Energy per event - and defined Activities playing Games tied to Locations as a massive source of Party Score... for the winner only.
- Ruleset Reorder - Moved a majority of the dynastic rules, which had already grown disordered over successive amendments.
- Party Pooling - Awarded a little Party Score by dice rolling to Partygoers ending an ordinary (not Grand) party in the Pool. As the main point source, Activities, wasn't reliable, this led to a running joke of people randomly jumping into pools as well as deciding one Party.
- Point Score Confusion replaced points with Medals as the dynasty-long scoring variable, because various proposals kept confusing them with Party Score.
- The loudest party on the block - Required party starters to announce it in a blog post. Unfortunately, this proposal marked the end of ordinary Parties as none were started after it.
- One Party Limit - Ended any other ongoing events whenever a Grand Party started, fixing a problem that had affected the first Grand Party.
- No non-party tricks allowed - Prevented Partygoers who weren't Partying from winning Parties or joining Activities.
- Extra Spicy Proposals - Created the "Cook Off" game, a proposal writing contest judged by non-participants. This was the only Game successfully played during the dynasty.
- Jams Jam - nerfed the Acoustic Guitar to no longer interfere with ongoing Activities, merely preventing them from being started.
- Limited Energizing - Allowed Partygoers to drink Soda for extra Energy once per party. Later expanded into a whole list of once-per-party Party Tricks.
- Beginning the End - Proposed a Victory condition of spending 100 Medals while Holding the Duck at a Grand Party. It passed during a Grand Party where its author, Bucky, held the Duck.
Parties
The First Party: Bucky won by being the only Partygoer to score at all, which was accomplished by winning the Pool lottery as the only participant.
The First Grand Party: Was reset partway through due to overlapping with the Party. After someone (who?) brought an Acoustic Guitar, there was a lot of activity with various partygoers attempting to evade the Guitar and score Party Points. However, nobody managed to score, so the Grand Party was won by a random Partygoer - Madrid, who wasn't even attending it.
(Second Grand Party goes here)
The third Grand Party never finished because the dynasty ended during it.
