Veto all pending Proposals. Change ‘Pactmaker’ to ‘CIC’; changing the first instance to “Commander-in-chief (abbreviated CIC)”. Change ‘Seraphim’ to ‘UNSG’; changing the first instance to “UN Secretary-General (abbreviated UNSG)”. Repeal all Dynastic Rules except for “Combos” and “Tags”.
 
 
Several years later, in an age of social media and smartphones, the remains of this magic still lingers - in the hands of “Pactmakers”, which have refined the art of the Original Pact, allowing it to be used in many more ways.
 
 
 
The Original Pact is massive, thick, but crude - like a giant rope holding a knot. Pact Magic works by taking a string from that “rope” to create new binds - or other surprising uses. And the Original Pact is starting to wear thin.
 
 
 
a New “Original Pact” needs to be made - and soon.

Both (and simultaneous) attempts were controversial - Pokes was an admin that was going to win based on that timing was crucial and as an admin, he could enact whenever he wanted (although he did post a [https://blognomic.com/archive/notice11 notice]), and Cuddlebeam was an Emperor that was going to win their own Dynasty (based on loopholes introduced during Core Rule reforms during the previous dynasty).
 
 
Once both winning combos had been posted, Cuddlebeam's actions had a sooner timestamp than Poke's, however Poke's ''appeared on the blog sooner''. This is due to that timestamps are of when the post was started to be written, not when it's actually posted.
 
 
It was finally decided that it shall be considered that Poke's combo had been performed before Cuddlebeam's, resulting in Poke's victory.

Ascension Address

From the diaries of PM Wouters, 26 July 1966

It’s so difficult to be the Commander-in-chief. All I wanted to do was serve my Pays-Loups Nord by writing legislation to help the people, but then someone had to go and die, and I had to go and say ‘okay’ to becoming Prime Minister. This shouldn’t have been easy, but at least not this hard. Tensions since last week have been extremely high. Everyone’s got nukes, everyone suddenly seems more willing to use them, and it’s like the only way to get respect these days is to bully people around. I just need some sleep, but the pills are making it hard, and when it comes all I get are fever dreams about pacts and Seraphim.

Veto all pending Proposals. Change ‘Pactmaker’ to ‘CIC’; changing the first instance to “Commander-in-chief (abbreviated CIC)”. Change ‘Seraphim’ to ‘UNSG’; changing the first instance to “UN Secretary-General (abbreviated UNSG)”. Repeal all Dynastic Rules except for “Combos” and “Tags”.
