I know nothing of BlogNomic, or of its history, so I can’t comment on the context of that proposal, only on the content and tenor of the top few posts. Voting does seem to be flowing against the idea that BlogNomic should end, but it is remarkable that such a proposal would be seriously considered. There is a clue in this post[0], by current Emperor Brendan, and in this prior proposal[1] [0] http://blognomic.com/archive/the_last_dynasty <http://blognomic.com/archive/the_last_dynasty> [1] http://blognomic.com/archive/believe_in_tangerine <http://blognomic.com/archive/believe_in_tangerine> BlogNomic’s current Emperor is likely a millennialist or catastrophist of some stripe; the rhetoric in his (I presume) Ascension Address reminds me a lot of authoritarians the world over, condemning his own people as having a mere shadow of their former glory with one hand while promising the future with the other. He appears to be testing BlogNomic’s resolve: the “Believe in Tangerine” proposal “arms" a prior proposal, suggesting that BlogNomic’s current players have now twice accepted his proposals, even where they would grant him more control over the game. I assume he’s done some campaigning and platform advertising somewhere, but I don’t see where. On the theory that BlogNomic has been colonized by a party bent on destroying the game, is there any aid we can extend to the other players? -o
