The Third Dynasty of Misty
March 30 - May 3, 2023

Ascension Address
Hey! All of ya! Hello and welcome! As you may already know, that black hole had finally evaporated from that place, which means that construction for the city of our dreams has finally begun again! Now you might be wondering why you were brought in so late. There’s uh, one small problem that cropped up. Someone was an absolute incompetence and blew up half of our construction materials. Supply chain issues caused by major parts of Asia no longer existing mean that we won’t be getting any replacements soon, so we kind of have to make do with what we have. That’s why you’re here! Your job is to take all the non-essential building stuff from the lower floors and hand them right back to the workers. They won’t suspect a thing, and we might be able to stretch our last few resources far enough to complete the city! Any questions?
Okay, I guess you could call this “pulling a Jenga”, but don’t let the workers know about that. Or any of this, really.
Dynasty theme: Jenga. Repeal all dynastic rules. Set the player synonym to Engineer and the emperor synonym to City Architect. Set the gamestate tracking page to be “Construction Site”.

It having been noted that most of the major variables of the dynasty were orphaned, a CfJ was made to fix this. While it was pending, it was realised that several players would be able to lock down the game (making all further build actions impossible) as soon as the CfJ passed and the game came back online. The House of Cards CfJ proposed to end the dynasty, locking down the game and allowing players to discuss a victory "chop". Public discussion happened around The Bargaining Table.
This conversation went on for a couple of days, with several players making chop proposals to vote on. The Emperor also made a "Failed Ultimatum" proposal to put the game into a metadynasty.
A few hours after that, Bucky unidled for the first time in the dynasty, prompting Benbot to do the same. Bucky suggested on Discord that the disabling of the gamestate for the chop proposal was in some way a "stick of dynamite", and cast a vote for a metadynasty and a vote against every chop, with Benbot doing the same. Misty discussed the push for a metadynasty on the Discord with Redtara, Bucky, Benbot and some still-idle players, Misty pointing out to one of them that "there's nothing stopping you from unidling now and voting".
Misty then vetoed all of the chop proposals and left the metadynasty proposal standing.
Twenty hours later, the metadynasty had quorum: Benbot, Bucky, Redtara, JonathanDark, Josh, Misty and Taiga were in favour of the dynasty ending in this way; Brendan and Kevan were not; Habanero, Jjm3x3, Summai and Titanic had not yet voted either way.
(There was some disagreement on whether the proposal explicitly ended the Third Dynasty of Misty, since it did not say to explicitly end the current dynasty. But it was noted that most metadynasty proposals had failed to say this either, historically, and a vote concluded that this dynasty had indeed ended.)
