Proposal: Hiatus stuff [Trivial]

rewrite rule 10, Victory and Ascension to read

If a Horde believes that they have achieved the victory conditions for the current Dynasty, they may post a Declaration of Victory to the BlogNomic weblog. At this point, BlogNomic immediately goes into Hiatus, during which no other game actions(including other victory claims), besides CFJs or the adding/un-idling of new/existing players, may be taken.

Every Horde may respond to the Declaration of Victory saying whether they regard it as legal or illegal (using the FOR, AGAINST and DEFERENTIAL icons). If more than half of the total Hordes consider the win legal, then the poster of the Declaration is considered to have officially won the Dynasty - the Dynasty ends. If more than half consider it illegal, however, then the Hiatus ends and the current Dynasty continues. If no clear decision is reached after 24 hours, the Overloard may optionally step in and decide the win's legality.

When a Dynasty has been won, all Families' GNDT stats are reset to zero or blank. Any Families who were idle throughout that Dynasty may be removed from the game, at the Overloard's discretion.

The Hiatus then continues for at least 24 hours during which reflection upon the occurrences of the game and the adding of new players may occur. Hiatus then continues until the new Overloard posts an Ascension Address to the BlogNomic weblog - this should specify the Overloard's chosen theme for the new round, and may optionally include a proclamation that any number of Rules will be repealed (excluding Rules 1-10), and/or that the words "Horde", "Overloard" and "Brains" will be replaced with new theme-appropriate terms. If the new Overloard chooses not to repeal a rule with number over 10, he/she may also replace any keyword in those rules with a new theme-appropriate term. The remaining rules, after the new Overloard's proclamation, shall be renumbered to keep a sequential progression. The new Overloard may also proclaim at the Ascension Address the veto of any Pending Proposals. The failure of said proposals shall incur no Thaler penalty for the proposer.

If no Ascension Address takes place within 48 hours of a win then a meta-dynasty begins with a NEW theme decided by the last Overloard.

Upon posting this Address, and having made the Rule set changes, the Hiatus period ends and the new Dynasty commences.

The adding/un-idling of players during a hiatus does not affect Quorum. If a player is added/un-idled during a hiatus then all of their GNDT values are made null as signified by '-'. Once the Declaration either passes or fails and hiatus ends, the new/un-ideled users' fields shall be filled according to the rule set in place.

2-14. Reached Quorum. Failed by Chronos.
