History of victories

This is an attempt to apply a taxonomy of different victory types to the history of BlogNomic. Those types are:-

• Conventional: A player wins through regular dynastic-rule gameplay.
• Scam: A player exploits the rules in an unexpected manner to achieve victory.
• Pooling: Several players combine their resources to allow one of their number (often selected at random) to win.
• Other: The dynasty was ended in an unusual way (often early, through the decision of the group).

Conventional types:

• [Assisted]: Assisted conventional. Win that relies on an alliance/collaboration but there is no Pooling maneuver, for example, a trade of resources or synergy without deliberate/planned self-sacrifice.

Scam types:

• [As Written] Read-as-written (RAW). A rule or rules being exploited in a surprising but uncontested manner.
• [Late] Late reveal. A player delaying informing others that a rule may have been broken, to gain advantage.
• [Admin] Admin advantage. A scam which could only be performed by an admin player.

Pooling types:

• [Resource] Pooling a tradeable game resource
• [Action] One or more players taking an action to give another victory
• [Bloc Vote] Block-voting as a group, in order to assign victory among that group
• [Altered Bloc Vote] Same as above, but voting mechanics are altered by some dynastic rule.

Other Dynasty end types:

• [Election] Election: a victor is elected by the players (typically for dynastic merit or popularity), either through an election among several players, or by passing a vote to crown one specific winner.
• [Pure Random] A random player chosen among an impartial set of players is the victor.
• [Merit Random] Random, but the victor is a set of players chosen by their merit in the game (for example, two tied players in the lead)
• [Meta] No victor, the Dynasty results in a Metadynasty.

Combination types (to be implemented below):

• X + Y: Combination of the two types (for example, a scam that relies on self-sacrificial action of several players in a cabal).
• X / Y: Presence of both types without them being part of the same manuvuer by the same victor/cabal, although each being instrumental to victory.
• X // Y: Presence of both types without them being performed by the same victor/cabal.

Other notes:

• [No Collabs] No Collabs rule was on, preventing private communication between players
• [Traitor] Traitor rule was on, Traitor used it to deny the pool at the end
• An "(undeclared)" victory is one where a player met the criteria for achieving victory, but did not (or was unable to) post a DoV

Note: This table has been filled out by various players, with varying views on what qualifies as a particular type of victory, so may not be entirely representative or consistent.
