Proposal: Verb the Noun

Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

In the rule “Power Links”, replace “activate two Machines and establish a Power Link from the first to the second” with:-

activate two non-Shrouded Machines and - if one has a Gerund name and the other has a Noun name - establish a Power Link from the first to the second

Remove all Power Links that are between two Noun-named Machines, all Power Links that are between two Gerund-named Machines, and all Power Links to or from a Shrouded Machine.

Sounds cool. If we encouter an issue of too much one one kind, we can deal with it later.

how do you activate two non shrouded machines? Activation is semi random…

Good point, should move that condition inside the hyphens.

BlogNomic is currently
on Hiatus
as a result of
the rule Seasonal Downtime.

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."
