The contents of the rule called “Plot Twist” are as follows:
At exactly 23:58:00 on 18/12/08, each Character shall replace his Relationship with 0 minus his Relationship.
The original contents (before the change) were as follows:
At exactly 23:58:00 on 25/12/08, each Character shall replace his Relationship with 0 minus his Relationship.
The original contents are validated because the md5 checksum matches (see the note on the plot summary page).
For some odd reason, I can’t get the new md5 checksum to match…
Nope. It is past exactly 23:58:00. This rule, therefore, has no effect.
See guys? I knew it all along. However I got something wrong: I thought PP was also gonna be affected, because of that I didn’t want to make mine any higher (which in the end worked, because if I had it just 1 or 2 higher, maybe there would be no Metadynasty).
No Rodlen, the rule has always been in effect, we just didn’t knew what it was doing.
Rodlen: It acted just like a regular rule that you couldn’t see. It’s effect was still going on even though you didn’t know what it was.
However, at the time when it would have had an effect, we were unable to replace our relationships thanks to the fact that we didn’t know what the secret rule was. Plus, it is still an action, just one we are forced to do. Now that we know what action we have to take, we can’t take said action.
Neither can you.
You can’t NOT do it, otherwise, you’d be breaking the rules.
But you can’t do it without breaking the rules.
It is a very badly written rule.
Nope. If it was automatic, then the rule wouldn’t force each character to do it manually. The rule does force each character to do it manually.
And it makes perfect sense that this led to “the First Metadynasty of Rodlen”.

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.

So, Jason dies, and Rodlen still wins.
