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}.

When Zack's Declaration of Victory was enacted, these players were active: {Brendan, Clucky, Josh, Jumble, Kevan, Raven1207, redtara, Silverwing, Tech, Trapdoorspyder, TyGuy6, Zack}.

Posts of Interest

At the start of the dynasty, 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 for these rules to be modifiable. But since in the previous dynasty, Brendan had voluntarily relinquished his omnipotence clause, the Ruleset was eventually restored to status quo.

Once things had settled down, Brendan took up a backseat role, and the players really got into the road trip theme. Collecting coins and Souveniers[sic].

(This list of significant dynastic events is currently incomplete.)

The play was traditional, but included a rather involved, instant-win scam idea toward the end that several people caught onto before the whole thing was patched (via Wish You Were Here and You’re really making me empty my pockets on this one). 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").

At this point, several returning players joined back in. We bandied our coins about to try to decide who should be given a majority, to win and become the next emperor. Several randomizing activities were proposed and enacted, such as a Campfire Demon who devoured someone's coins once per day and a Charity Box to give some of the supporters' coins to a random nominee. Finally, three players just did a pooling die roll and handed their coins to Zack.

Souveniers

Before Staunton Lick converted them to coins, the following items had been collected by the Trippers:

Name Souveniers
Clucky Pen from The Heap of Spoils, Flag from the Parlour
Josh Stamp from Magma Wheel, Dried Leaves from the Burning Arrow
Kevan Tattoo from Eternal Thursday, Map from Sartre's Gift Shop
TyGuy6 Apparel from The Cleansing Blood of Darby O'Gill

Non-dynastic Changes

The generic category of post "Event" was elevated from dynastic rule to a Special Case Rule, in [https://blognomic.com/archive/uneventful_dynasty_special_case Uneventful Dynasty.

Ascension

Zack joined the dynasty on Jan 13 with 0 coins. He asked Jumble for 11 coins, promising to double them, which he received. He won a 20-coin charity give-away, then Josh handed him 20 more. Finally, he pooled his coins with Clucky and TyGuy6, and won the 51-35-16 die-roll to receive all of their coins and gain a majority among all players.

Zack's DoV: Ashes to Ashes was raised on 15 Jan. While it was in the voting process, Kevan noticed that the Charity Box proposal had been edited two minutes after Josh had given it a vote, rendering it illegal. This meant that Zack hadn't gained a large stack of coins, earlier, and so he never had reached over half the extant coins needed to win. But a CfJ was quickly raised and passed to uphold the illegal enactment, allowing everyone to vote FOR the DoV after all.

Commentary

Fun fact: Stop creation was not legal for much of the dynasty. After the passing of Good Intentions, Stops 4 through 44 were created under the rule "...the GPS should create and append to the list of Stops a new Stop..." That is, the GPS had an obligation to create stops, but not the ability.

I never saw a reason to call attention to the issue, as it would have been way too much hassle to do anything but retroactively OK everything, anyway. Kevan returned the wording to "may" between the creation of Stops 44 and 45. The enacting of a DoV upholds every game action that led up to it, so I figure it's over and done with at this point.

Consensus varies with players, but I think it's generally taken that "should" implies "may and should", in BlogNomic - that a Simon-says "aaah, I only said that you should try one of these cakes, not that you could" scam wouldn't fly. --Kevan (talk) 08:25, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
