Thank you, team for always clarifying my questions. It is sometimes easy to get confused or to forget a part of a rule, even when you go back and re-read them. You guys work so hard for us and it is appreciated.
To those guys who have "failed" this dynasty. I may be very wrong, but I look at a "dynasty" of any sort, very differently from a tournament. Sure, you can fail a tournament, I've done so many times. However, in my humble opinion, a dynasty is more a learning experience. Did you mess up somehow and that dynasty doesn't work? To me that is a do-over-having-learned. Maybe I redo that dynasty, from the beginning, or maybe a I do another one in the same type, or a different one. Each time I've learned something and move on. Sometimes I "practice" first, then start to write up the dynasty, and sometimes even practicing leads to still, one more mistake, some of them not my own fault, (like your founder executes herself by "fixing" something electrical and a storm comes along and zaps her!, yes, that did happen), and sometimes you didn't understand the rules and went through days of play inadvertently breaking them. You can always pm a team member to deal with that and get their advice. So please, don't consider your favorite dynasty a fail, just a do over. Just my opinion but I think maybe the team will agree. It's a personal challenge, not one for any other kind of reward.
