The rules state that all idle players are marked, but does not state that all marked players are idle. Unidle is not defined, so we must infer that unidle players are those who are not marked as idle. Nothing says that an unidle player cannot be *marked* as idle, or even that unidle players must (or even may) be in the GNDT. Any admin can ask himself to unidle himself, then de-idle himself, without appearing to be idle.
Is this yor way of saying that you are unidling? If so, please update quorum and PUT YOUR NAME AS ACTIVE ON THE SIDEBAR. Really people. Stop looking for scams and problems where there are none… its like the warning lables on products. “Warning, Do not put hand in toaster.” If it’s obvious, it doesn’t need to be defined. People marked as idle are, clearly, idle.
Ths is a time to use common sense, yuri. We figure that if you are an admin, you have enough common sense to know what to do.
Yeah, but I’m an idle admin… OR AM I?
I’m not going to use this to scam; I’m just pointing out yet another hole in our patchy core rules.
“Some Survivors are Idle, and shall be marked as such in the sidebar.” - since “shall” means “is required to”, then yes, all marked players are idle.
But you’re right that unidle players aren’t explicitly listed anywhere, though (we only have “add him to the roster in the sidebar and the GNDT” when a player joins).
If you see holes in the core rules, feel free to make proposals to fix them.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
