Spring RTS Engine

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.

^ 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.

@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.

^ contains bullshit

Yay another picchar thread...

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

Immutable rule #10 shall be transmogrified to mutable.

I propose that a post made after dinner be invalid.

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"

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

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

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

From now on players gain 100 points for accepted posts.

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.

Dicussion of rules for next round begins now.

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?

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

edit. or at least make it mutable

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

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

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)
