Greetings!
I have sent this letter to you today to inform you of a marvelous opportunity! I will soon be starting a massive town-wide competition to see which of our renowned realtors can sell the most houses, in the least time. The prize will be beyond your wildest imagination! (Think money. Lots and lots of money.) All you have to do is pay the entry fee* and abide by most of the terms and conditions! (listed below). Best of luck!
Terms and conditions: No realtor may cheat.** No realtor may sabotage another realtor’s efforts. ** All houses sold must be abandoned properties. (To avoid unnecessary suspicion.) No realtor may sell more than one house a week. ** Nothing important to me may happen on Sundays. (No need to anger the Big Guy. He’s scary.)
Sign here to join today!***

The dynasty was supposed to end in a timed, merit-random pick, with the Emperor selecting a Realtor based on their proportionate quantity of Realtor Points. However, at the appointed time, Brendan revealed that he had deliberately written that rule to be meaningless, and that the process of selecting a winner should in fact default to the alphabetically first Realtor - i.e. himself. His DoV failed on a couple of technical issues; some opponents argued that the word salad he's made of the merit-random rule resulted in it being incompletable rather than having a default value; some argued that decoupling it from a dice roll made the winner role of REALTOR PRIME into an orphan variable. However, Josh's DoV on the basis that he was the actual selection of the merit-random roll also failed on the grounds that Brendan's word-salad rule did genuinely disrupt its effect enough that it couldn't be said to work as anticipated. DoVs to award the victory to Josh or award the victory to Brendan failed to achieve traction, and finally the whole mess was swept away with a CfJ that established a tiebreaker metadynasty between Brendan and TyGuy6, who was the actual merit leader at the time of the end of the dynasty.
