Any New Players?

I've just put out an Ascension Alert prematurely, again; that it seems more useful to give people a day's notice of a new Dynasty, rather than waking them up after it's already started, and having them wait for Admin to process their applications while the round's initial proposals go through.

If anyone wants to join at this point, now would be a good time to comment, and this would be an easily-found post to comment on.

Am beginning to wonder if a day's official rest between Ascension and starting-pistol Address might be healthy - some time for new players to line up, and for the existing ones to reflect and draw Important Lessons from the method of Ascension. (I think this one has underlined the tricksiness of conditional "if most votes say 'X'" proposals, for me.)
