Players
Unrecorded on day 1 of the dynasty.
When the Book of Trippers gamestate page was first created, these players were listed there: {ATMunn, Chiiika, Clucky, Jason, Josh, Kevan, lemon, Raven1207, redtara, Supernovastarbright, Trapdoorspyder, TyGuy6}. And of course, Brendan was the emperor.
Numbers decreased to these 8 by mid-dynasty: {Brendan, Clucky, Josh, Kevan, Raven1207, Tech, Trapdoorspyder, TyGuy6}.

Three Phases
There were three phases through which the dynasty progressed. Recovery, Roadtrip, and Campfire.
In the Recovery phase, Blognomic was still reeling from several unilateral changes Brendan had made after having gained omnipotence over the Ruleset. A new category, Perdurable Rules, offered certain players exclusive privilege to winning future dynasties, and had attempted to require a unanimous vote to change them. Brendan also had granted himself Veto power over CfJs. But during this dynasty he relinquished his omnipotence clause, and all things were restored to status quo.
In the Roadtrip phase, (which arguably had begun at the dynasty's creation,) the players really got into the road trip theme. Collecting coins and Souveniers[sic], the play was much more traditional, and included a rather involved, instant-win scam idea toward the end that several people caught onto before the whole thing was patched. The scam being the only real victory condition, the players ended the road trip by gathering around a campfire with their coins and making all other dynastic rules irrelevant (as "flavor text").
In the Campfire phase, several returning players joined back in, as we bandied our coins about to try to decide who should be given a majority, and thus become the next emperor. Several random events were proposed and enacted, and finally, three players did a die roll and hand their coins to Zack.
