1 Ascension Address
- I am your Emperor.
- Bow before me.
- That is all.
Geran maintained the previous theme of a kingdom in the middle ages, but made it a more agricultural setting, and changed the money from Gold to Lead.
2 Players
Geran, Kevan, Nea, Royce, Squirrel.
3 Final Ruleset
4 Proposals of Interest
Farming Weekly (http://blognomic.blogspot.com/2003_07_06_blognomic_archive.html#105778340624640908) (Kevan 07/09/03) This allowed players to grow corn and breed sheep once each week, and really defined this dynasty more than any other rule.
Taxes (http://blognomic.blogspot.com/2003_07_13_blognomic_archive.html#105855815183893086) (Geran 07/18/03) Established possible Income Tax (based on agricultural profits), Property tax (based on Corn and Sheep), and Tariff (on transfers between players).
Market Forces (http://blognomic.blogspot.com/2003_07_20_blognomic_archive.html#105878576194849444) (Kevan 07/21/03) Adjusted the values of corn and sheep relative to each other, in a simple form of supply and demand
Prizes for Proposals (http://blognomic.blogspot.com/2003_07_20_blognomic_archive.html#105899662330470329) (Royce 07/23/03) A nice reference to Kevan's Kaleidoscope (http://kevan.org/kaleido) game, giving Lead to people who collect prizes with proposals. (This is a standalone version of the BlogNomic prize game from RoundOne.)
Market Day (http://blognomic.blogspot.com/2003_07_27_blognomic_archive.html#105973421725875164) (Kevan 08/01/03) Allowed trading sheep and corn on Market Day each week.
5 Ascension
Things got pretty slow during the summer, and after nobody made any proposals for ten consecutive days, Kevan declared everyone else idle and voted himself in (http://blognomic.blogspot.com/2003_08_10_blognomic_archive.html#106069482471809459) as Emperor.
6 Commentary
Second only to Round One in length, the 2.5-month Dynasty of Geran covered most of the summer of 2003.
It was revealed later that the first and third rulers of BlogNomic were actually the same person.
From: Myke Silvestri Sent: Tuesday, December 2, 2003 12:01 PM To: Damanor Subject: Blognomic History
- Greetings, Speaker Damanor,
- I'm Myke, by the way, one of the first (though not quite founding) Players of BlogNomic, and the first Emperor. The piece of interest is that I was also BlogNomic's third Emperor, under the name of Geran. I chose to keep this fact private only because I did not want to ruin chances of continuing both Players should I want to re-enter the game.
- More and more, I realize I'm never going to rejoin, and the History section gives me an opporunity to finally flaunt my deceit.
- As a quick side note of interest, this post (http://blognomic.blogspot.com/2003_06_01_blognomic_archive.html#95248640) in the First Dynasty of Lyndse is the closest I came to messing up (due to the nature of backblog.) I was posting from a work computer from which I'd posted as Myke months before, and it had saved my info. I'd forgotten to reset the info to Geran, and accidentally cast a vote as Myke when he wasn't an active Player...
- I don't know if any Players have revealed multiple personalities since... it'd be cool if I was the first. But yeah, just wanted to get my dual reigns out in the open.
7 Miscellaneous
It was decided during The First Dynasty of yuri_dragon_17 that this would jointly be known as The First Dynasty of Geran and as The Second Dynasty of Myke.
