Self-killed, failed by Kevan.

[ I always enjoy the random, real-world research that a BlogNomic theme encourages - I’d rather hear about arbitrary, interesting historical figures, than people’s favourite fictional characters. ]
Remove all instances of “or fictional” from Rules 2.1 and 2.1.1.
Rename “Rincewind” to “Harold Lloyd” and “Jack Sparrow” to “Blackbeard”.

I don’t look forward to deciding whether Jesus would be legal, though.
since Hix abstained. I wont complain either way, though. I wont stop playing or anything. Either way would be fun for me.
Hix, you can always just not add anyone you don’t want in the game to the list.
the idea. the result. Valkyries are fictional. Are we going to ban famous norse but mythical people from the final battle?
What if we limited it to historical and Norse mythology, for Rodney’s argument? Seems to complicate things, though. Simpler would be to just say all, or only real, and not worry about Valkyries being mythical.
Although I agree with Kevan and enjoy the learning aspect of this, some fictional characters should be ok.
I’d welcome the Norse-myth exception - I’d initially ruled it out because of the maximum-ten stats total proposal (it’d be silly to see Thor being beaten at something by Harold Lloyd), but that’s been self-killed now.
That’s three deferential votes. You’d have to make tough calls on Jesus’ stats anyway, Hix.
CoV - Despite wanting Rincewind on my side so I can defeat people with sarcasm, but I think it’ll make things more interesting.
Are we allowing currently living people? If not, no one could submit Jesus anyways (well, depending on what you believe).
COV—though i prefer researching the historical characters, there’s enough fiction in history anyway. plus, makes for some interesting mythic/historical characters.
tally now stands at 6-3-4, assuming chivalrybean’s count is right
I think Chivalrybean counted FOR-DEF-AGAINST, rather than FOR-AGAINST-DEF.
Self-kill, I’ll repropose it allowing for Norse mythology, to make it clearer.
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.
