The same surgeon midway through the same procedure, very confused at all the attention he’s been getting

@Josh, i’m quite sure that you’ve processed this incorrectly! i’d like you to check the Mindjacking rule again. does it say to destroy an Avatar after they’re Mindjacked?

the very bad news is the rule on ascendant reaction to mindjackings only says “should”, so that was 100% legal. scam foiled! i even went through all the trouble of choosing a time when few people could highjack the scam, and openly communicating in an obtuse way so fewer people would notice u_u

Yeah, sorry. I’ll likely support a CfJ that rectifies this as it looks like a legit scam to me.

What is BlogNomic?

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.

"Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game. The primary activity of Nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed."
