Nomic Thread

[SinbadEV]

A little history:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomic / http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/writing/nomic.htm#initial%20set

My version is going to be different, based marginally on the http://www.nomic.net/~nomicwiki/index.php/FantasyRulesCommittee version, The rules are as follows:

Immutable Rules:
- SinbadEV is a Judge
- All Registered Spring Forum members who are not Judges are Players
- All posts must follow the general forum rules and the laws of Canada.
- All posts must be between 10 and 100 characters (including spaces)
- No BBCode can be used
- After each Player posts a Judge must post that the Post has been accepted or rejected before any further valid posts can be made by players
- Any invalid posts can be removed from the thread by a Judge
- All posts must declare an additional rule or an amendment to a rule
- All new rules are mutable
- Immutable Rules cannot be changed, deleted or amended

Mutable Rules:
- All accepted valid posts earn the posting player 10 points
- The game is over when a player reaches 100 points
- The player with the most posts at the end of the game is the winner
- A player who has a post accepted may not post again until another player post and has their post judged

I propose that all posts henceforth must contain lolcats.

[SwiftSpear]

^ that rule is invalid, it requires BBcode

I propose that from henceforth, rule proposals can not force other players to jump through unnecessary hoops to propose rules.

[SinbadEV]

@KDR_11k: rule is invalid, it requires BBcode ( like swift said )
@SwiftSpear: post is invalid, didn't wait for adjudication, rule is invalid as unnecessary hoops are by definition unnecessary, any hoop required by a rule is therefore defined as unnecessary
@1v0ry_k1ng: invalid post, contains BBCode, does not contain a new rule proposal.

[rattle]

^ contains bullshit

Yay another picchar thread...

[SinbadEV]

@rattle: post is invalid, doesn't contain a new rule and contains BBCode

[KDR_11k]

Immutable rule #10 shall be transmogrified to mutable.

[CalledGothic]

I propose that a post made after dinner be invalid.

[AF]

A new unmutable rule `that will last the whole length of the thread is now in action:

All posts must end in "when I went to the doctors and I wet my pants"

[rattle]

Unmutable rule #11: "I AM THE LAW" - Judge Dreattle

KDR: rejected, NSDAP methods
CalledGothic, AF: post is invalid, KDR was not judged yet

[SinbadEV]

All four previous posts are invalid, KDR_11k attempts to alter an immutable rule and the rest are invalid because of:

- After each Player posts a Judge must post that the Post has been accepted or rejected before any further valid posts can be made by players

[manored]

From now on players gain 100 points for accepted posts.

[SinbadEV]

Bugger, manored's post is accepted. Rule change gives manored 100 points. Game ends... manored has the most valid posts but due to a glitch in the way I stated "- The player with the most posts at the end of the game is the winner" the game is a tie between rattle at 2 posts and KDR_11k at 2 posts.

[SinbadEV]

Dicussion of rules for next round begins now.

[SwiftSpear]

Rules must be accepted by 3 other game participants before being enacted, and approved by a/the judge

[SinbadEV]

Rules must be accepted by 3 other game participants before being enacted, and approved by a/the judge

I like that one. Also might be a good idea to let people post new rules while waiting for a Judge... just a post needs to be accepted or rejected before the same player can post again?

[Felix the Cat]

Get rid of the "no BBCode" rule...

edit. or at least make it mutable

[SinbadEV]

maybe ban each specific unwanted BBCode as an individual mutable rule?

Ban Size, Ban IMG, Ban Color, Ban URL?

[Michilus_nimbus]

Immutable rule:
When the number of points gained by a valid accepted post changes, the change is only applied to the next valid accepted post. (To prevent anyone from winning the game by simply altering the points)
