In the Rule entitled “Combat”, change the text

If the @ is wielding a weapon, they must roll XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the number of Dice for their weapon, and Y is the number of Sides for their weapon. The result of the die roll (whichever is used), plus the enchantment of whatever weapon the @ wields, minus the AC of any armor worn by whatever the @ is fighting, is the Damage Dealt

If the @ is wielding a weapon, they must roll XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the number of Dice for their weapon, and Y is the number of Sides for their weapon. The result of the die roll (whichever is used), plus the enchantment of whatever weapon the @ wields, is the attack’s base damage; they then roll DICEZ, where Z is the total AC of the armors worn by whatever the @ is fighting, and subtract that from the base damage to calculate the damage dealt.

Hai! My name is Nic, and I am very interested in Nomic games. I am still learning the rules (hehe, what rules??), so give me a bit of time to figure it out. Wish me luck, and thanks for letting me give this a shot!

Guys, these Proposals are so incredibly long that my eyes blur over before I’m halfway through reading them. Is there any way we can make them into smaller proposals, and pass them in segments? If needed, you can ask someone else to Propose one of your ideas if you are out of slots. It’s just, these are beyond me.

If the proposal “Signals of Distress” was Enacted, this proposal does nothing.

Replace the rule entitled “Voting” with the following:

Any @ may cast his Vote on a Votable Matter by making a comment to the official post that comprises that Votable Matter using a Voting Icon of FOR, AGAINST, DEFERENTIAL (only if the Votable Matter is a Proposal), QUARENTINE (only if the Votable Matter is a Proposal), or VETO (only if the Votable Matter is a Proposal and the @  is the RNG).

In the case of a Proposal, If the @ who made the Proposal has not cast a Vote on it, his Vote is counted as FOR. If a @ uses more than one Voting Icon in comments on a Votable Matter, his Vote is the last Voting Icon he uses. If a @ leaves the game or goes Idle, his Vote is no longer valid. If a @ Votes AGAINST on his own Proposal, that Vote may not be changed. This is referred to as a Self-Kill. If the RNG Votes VETO on a Proposal, that Vote may not be changed.

A Vote of DEFERENTIAL is a Vote of no opinion, or of faith in the decision of the RNG. The Vote will count as the same as the RNG’s Vote. If the RNG casts a Vote of DEFERENTIAL on a Proposal, it serves the purpose of cancelling any previous Vote on that Proposal that was cast by the RNG. If there is no RNG, or the Vote is made by the Proposal’s author on his own Proposal, a Vote of DEFERENTIAL counts as an explicit Vote of abstention, and has no effect except possibly to void earlier Voting Icons by that Voter on that Proposal.

If the RNG has not Voted on a Proposal, a Vote of DEFERENTIAL on that Proposal does not count as a Vote for the purposes of rule 1.5.

Replace the rule entitled “Resolution of Proposals” with the following:

The oldest Pending Proposal may be Enacted by any Admin (and the Ruleset and/or Gamestate updated to include the specified effects of that Proposal) if either of the following is true:-

  * It has a number of FOR Votes that exceed or equal Quorum, has been open for voting for at least 12 hours, and has not been vetoed or self-killed.
  * It has been open for voting for at least 48 hours, it has continuously been a Proposal for that time, it has more than 1 valid Vote, more than half of its Votes are FOR, it has not been vetoed or self-killed, and the RNG’s Vote on it is not QUARANTINE.

The oldest Pending Proposal may be Quarantined if one of the following is true:

  * The RNG’s Vote on it is QUARANTINE, and it could be Enacted if the RNG had Voted FOR.
  * It could be Enacted if all QUARANTINE Votes on it were FOR, but could not be Enacted or Failed otherwise.

The oldest Pending Proposal may be Failed by any Admin, if any of the following are true:-

  * It has enough AGAINST Votes that it could not be Enacted or Quarantined without one of those Votes being changed.
  * It has been open for 48 hours and cannot be Quarantined, and could be Failed if all QUARANTINE Votes were AGAINST.
  * It has been open for voting for at least 48 hours and has fewer than 2 valid Votes.
  * The @ who proposed it has Voted AGAINST it.
  * The RNG has Voted VETO on it.

Whenever an Admin marks a Proposal, CfJ, or DoV as Enacted or Failed, or a Proposal as Quarantined, he must also mark his name, and report the final tally of Votes (or the fact that it was self-killed or vetoed).

When a Proposal is Quarantined, instead of having its stated effect upon the ruleset or gamestate it is moved in its entirety to Quarantine, along with a link to the original Proposal post. Proposals in Quarantine have no effect upon the rest of the ruleset or the gamestate until they are moved out of Quarantine by a further Proposal - either by amending and fully Enacting its effects or by removing it from the ruleset. To all intents and purposes, a Quarantined Proposal is considered to have been Enacted. Quarantined Proposals remain open for discussion but Votes cast after the Proposal is resolved are no longer counted or considered to be EVCs.

Proposals the RNG has Voted to VETO are considered vetoed. Proposals the author has Voted against are considered self-killed unless the RNG has Voted VETO on them, or they have fulfilled one of the other requirements to Fail a Proposal before the author’s self-kill Vote is placed. Immediately after Enacting a Proposal that causes a rule with no name to be added to the ruleset, unless the Proposal specifically states that the rule should have no name, the Enacting Admin can change the rule’s title to give it a name, so long as doing so does not change the meaning of any part of the ruleset, nor change any properties of the rule (such as specific words in the title) that the ruleset specifically cares about.

Add the following to the end of the first paragraph of rule 1.1:

Section 4 is the Quarantine, which contains Proposals that have passed but which currently have no effect upon the ruleset.

Amend the following paragraph, from the rule entitled “Victory and Ascension”:

When a DoV is Enacted, all other active DoVs are Failed, and a new Dynasty begins with the @ who made the DoV as its RNG. (That @ may pass this role to another @ at this point, if he wishes.) The Hiatus continues until the new RNG posts an Ascension Address to the BlogNomic weblog - this shall specify the RNG’s chosen theme for the new Dynasty, and may optionally include a proclamation that any number of Dynastic Rules will be repealed, and/or that the words @ and RNG will be replaced with theme-specific terms throughout the entire ruleset.

If the Voting Icons and statuses are gamestate:
Add a new Voting Icon, which corresponds to the string :QTINE:. Add a new status for resolved Proposals, called Quarantined, which remains open for commenting after Enactment.

If the Proposal: Who Likes Loot? fails than this proposal has no effect.

Change the following text in rule 2.11 from

When they do so, they must choose to either Find Treasure or Find a Corpse.
When an @ Finds a Corpse they role DICEZ, where Z corresponds to the number of items listed in the section of Wiki page entitled “Loot” that corresponds to the Dungeon Level the @ is on. The item on the list that corresponds with the result of DICEZ is then added to the that @‘s inventory.

The item on the list that corresponds with the result of DICEZ is immediately added to the that @‘s inventory and removed from that wiki page.

Replace the rule entitled “Resolution of Proposals” with the following:

The oldest pending Proposal may be enacted by any Admin (and the Ruleset and/or Gamestate updated to include the specified effects of that Proposal) if either of the following is true:-

* It has a number of FOR Votes that exceed or equal Quorum, has been open for voting for at least 12 hours, and has not been vetoed or self-killed.
* It has been open for voting for at least 48 hours, it has continuously been a proposal for that time, it has more than 1 valid Vote, more than half of its votes are FOR, and it has not been vetoed or self-killed.

The oldest pending proposal may be Quarantined if one of the following is true:

* The RNG’s vote on a proposal is QUARANTINE, and that proposal would otherwise pass.
* It has a number of votes for QUARANTINE that equal or exceed quorum, has been open for voting for at least 12 hours, and has not been vetoed or self-killed.
* It has a number of votes for QUARANTINE that exceed both the number of votes cast FOR and the number of votes cast AGAINST, and that proposal been open for more than 48 hours.

The oldest pending Proposal may be failed by any Admin, if any of the following are true:-

* It has enough AGAINST Votes that it could not be Enacted or Quarantined without one of those Votes being changed.
* It has been open for voting for at least 48 hours and half or fewer of its Votes are FOR, and the number of votes cast AGAINST equal or exceed those cast for QUARANTINE.
* It has been open for voting for at least 48 hours and has fewer than 2 valid Votes.
* The @ who proposed it has Voted AGAINST it.
* The RNG has Voted to VETO it

Whenever an Admin marks a proposal, CfJ, or DoV as enacted or failed, or a proposal as Quarantined, he must also mark his name, and report the final tally of Votes (or the fact that it was self-killed or vetoed).

When a proposal is Quarantined, instead of having its stated effect upon the ruleset or gamestate it is moved in its entirety to Quarantine, along with a link to the original proposal post.

when they do so, they must choose to either Find Treasure or Find a Corpse.

When an @ Finds a Corpse they role DICEZ, where Z corresponds to the number of items listed in the section of Wiki page entitled “Loot” that corresponds to the Dungeon Level the @ is on. The item on the list that corresponds with the result of DICEZ is then added to the that @‘s inventory.

In rule 2.2 “Death” change the following text from

When this happens, that @‘s Inventory and Discovery List are emptied, and all of that @‘s Transient GNDT stats are reset to the default values for a new @.

When this happens, the items that are in that @‘s inventory (except any item with Amulet of Yendor in its name) are added to the section on the wiki page entitled “Loot” that corresponds to the Dungeon Level the @ is on, then that @‘s Inventory and Discovery List are emptied, and all of that @‘s Transient GNDT stats are reset to the default values for a new @.

add a new column to the basic monster table entitled “Drops” and another new column entitled “Drop Rate”. Set values in “Drops” to None and values in “Drop Rate” to 0.

Change the following text in rule 2.4 “Basic Monsters” from

The table at the end of this rule is the Basic Monster Table. The Columns in the tables describe a monster’s internal ID (a number), name (text), hit points (formula that may include DICE rolls), damage (number of Dice and Sides), a speed (one of Sessile, Slow, Medium, Fast, Very Fast), Intelligence (Yes or No), and Magic (Yes or No).

Change the following text in rule 2.7 “Monsters” from

A Monster is a type of game entity; each one has a number of HP and an amount of Damage, which is two integers (a number of Dice and a number of Sides). A monster also has a number of XP. A Monster’s XP is always equal to that Monster’s initial HP, times that Monster’s Dice, times that Monster’s Sides, divided by three and rounded down, or 1 if the result is less than 1.

A Monster’s XP is always equal to that Monster’s initial HP, times that Monster’s Dice, times that Monster’s Sides, divided by three and rounded down, or 1 if the result is less than 1. Monsters may also have drop and a drop rate. A Monster’s drop must be an item or items found in the Basic Armor/Weapons/Potions Tables. A Monster’s drop rate must be a number between 0 and 100, inclusive. If a monster’s drop or drop rate is not specified then the drop rate defaults to 0.

Add the following text to the end of rule 2.7 “Monsters”

When a monster ceases to exist the @ that killed the Monster roles DICE100. If the result of the dice roll is less than the Drop Rate for that monster, then the item(s) that are specified in that monster’s drops are added to the section on the wiki page entitled “Loot” that corresponds to the Floor the monster was on.

Change the following text in Rule 2.5.2 “Weapon List” from

Whenever an @ fights in a ranged encounter while wielding a ranged weapon, they decrease the number of that weapon they carry by 1.

to

Whenever an @ fights in a ranged encounter while wielding a ranged weapon, they decrease the number of that weapon they carry by 1 and add 1 of that weapon to the list in the section of the wiki page entitled “Loot” that corresponds to the Dungeon Level the @ is on; unless the ranged weapon contains the words “spellbook” or “wand”.

Create a wiki page entitled “Loot” that has 10 sections. The first section is entitled “1” and the next is “2” and so forth with the last being “10”. These correspond to the Dungeon Level of the same number.

Floor 2

5 Giant Ants (18 HP,  2d4 damage, 48 XP)

The rule page, due to something missed when the proposal “Dressup” was enacted, is out-of-whack with reality. (Assuming you believe that the rules on the page are not the real rules, but merely a representation of the rules.)

Anyway, I think that this is how they should be. It is legal to change the GNDT to match gamestate if it differs, but there is no such rule regarding the ruleset.

If Bucky’s proposal “Balance Changes” Passes, the ruleset should be back to normal, but if anything happens that shouldn’t have been able too before then, I’ll raise a CfJ.

Add a potion to the table in Rule 2.5.4
Its name shall be “Potion of Might”
Its effect shall be “If you are wielding a weapon, increase its Enchantment by 1.  If its Enchantment is now greater than your Dungeon Level, remove it from your Inventory.”

Change the first sentence of the Rule “Armor List” to

The items listed in this table are armors, with Base AC, Armor Type and magic resistance as specified.

Make the following changes to the tables in the Rules “Weapon List” and “Armor List”:
*Add an “Armor Type” column to the Armor List if it doesn’t already exist.
*Set the Armor Type of ring mail, leather armor and (if it exists) dwarven chain mail to Body Armor
*Set the Armor Type of small shield to Shield
*Set the Armor Type of robe and cloak of magic resistance to Cloak
*Set the Armor Type of Hawaiian shirt to Shirt

*Set the Damage of quarterstaff to 2d3
*Set the Damage of dart to 2d2

Add the following text to the rule entitled “The Amulet”:

As a weekly action, an @ with an Amulet of Yendor in their inventory may increase their HP and Max HP by 5.

Change rule 2.13 to read:

There is an item called the Amulet of Yendor. There is an item called the Cheap Plastic Imitation of the Amulet of Yendor. There is an item called the REAL Amulet of Yendor.

Amulet of Yendors each have a Dungeon Level. If an Amulet of Yendor is in the inventory of an @, then the Dungeon Level of that Amulet of Yendor is the same as the Dungeon Level of that @. If an Amulet of Yendor exists, but is not in the inventory of an @, then the Dungeon Level of that Amulet of Yendor is tracked in the RNG Row in the GNDT (Multiple Amulets tracked in such a way should have their Dungeon Levels separated by slashes.)

While an Amulet of Yendor is in an @‘s Inventory, if that @ Dies as a result of Fighting another @ or another @ Fighting them, that other @ has the Amulet of Yendor added to their Inventory.

If no @ has the same Dungeon Level as an Amulet of Yendor, and that Amulet of Yendor’s Dungeon Level is greater than 1, and that Amulet of Yendor has had the same Dungeon Level for the previous 48 hours and since the start of the week, any @ may decrease that Amulet of Yendor’s Dungeon Level by 1.

If there is exactly one Amulet of Yendor, and if an @ has that Amulet of Yendor in their inventory, and there are no Cheap Plastic Imitation of the Amulet of Yendors in existence, then a second Amulet of Yendor is created on the Dungeon Level the first is currently on. If there are ever more than two Amulet of Yendors in existence, the most recently created Amulet immediately ceases to exist. If there is ever less than one Amulet of Yendor in existence, and there are no REAL Amulet of Yendors in existence, then an Amulet of Yendor is created on Dungeon Level 10.

If there is ever a REAL Amulet of Yendor in existence, all Amulet of Yendors are changed to Cheap Plastic Imitation of the Amulet of Yendors. If there is ever more than one REAL Amulet of Yendor in existence, the most recently created REAL Amulet of Yendor becomes a Cheap Plastic Imitation of the Amulet of Yendor.

An @ or RNG may Recognize an Amulet of Yendor when this rule explicitly permits it. To do so, they roll DICE2. If the result is 1, then that Amulet of Yendor becomes a REAL Amulet of Yendor.

If an @‘s Dungeon Level is 0, and they have an Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, then they may Recognize that Amulet of Yendor.

If an @‘s Dungeon Level is 0, and they have a REAL Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, they achieve victory.

Change rule 2.6 to read:

Each @ has a number called Dungeon Level (tracked in the GNDT), defaulting to 1. As a daily action, an @ may attempt to Find the Stairs; to do this, they roll DICE6 in the GNDT. The attempt is successful if that @‘s Kills is equal or higher than the result of that die roll. If the attempt is successful they must either increase or decrease their Dungeon Level by 1. If their Dungeon Level is equal to that of an Amulet of Yendor which is not in an @‘s Inventory, they may, instead of changing their Dungeon Level, add that Amulet of Yendor to their Inventory.

On any successful attempt to find the Stairs, an @ decreases their Kills to 0.

If at least a simple majority of EVCs to this proposal contain the phrase “make tourists useful”, then add the following sentence to the penultimate paragraph of rule 2.13:

If an @ has an expensive camera in their inventory, and they have an Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, then they may Recognize that Amulet of Yendor.

Jumblin McGrumblin, Narya and zebronic idle. Quorum drops to 8.

Add a new core rule, after the rule entitled “Resolution of Proposals”, called Quarantine:

If the RNG’s vote, or at least half of the EVCs, on a proposal also contain the voting icon for QUARANTINE, and that proposal would pass under the terms set out in rule 1.5, then instead of having its stated effect upon the ruleset or gamestate it is moved in its entirety to Quarantine. Proposals in Quarantine have no effect upon the rest of the ruleset or the gamestate until they are moved out of Quarantine by a further proposal - either by amending and fully enacting its effects or by removing it from the ruleset. To all intents and purposes, a Quarantined proposal is considered to have been enacted.

Section 4 is the Quarantine, which contains proposals that have passed but which currently have no effect upon the ruleset.

Amend the following paragraph, from the rule entitled “Victory and Ascension”:

When a DoV is enacted, all other active DoVs are failed, and a new Dynasty begins with the @ who made the DoV as its RNG. (That @ may pass this role to another @ at this point, if he wishes.) The Hiatus continues until the new RNG posts an Ascension Address to the BlogNomic weblog - this shall specify the RNG’s chosen theme for the new Dynasty, and may optionally include a proclamation that any number of Dynastic Rules will be repealed, and/or that the words @ and RNG will be replaced with theme-specific terms throughout the entire ruleset.

In rule 2.8 change the following text from

If the HP of a monster goes below 1, they cease to exist and the Kills of the @ that defeated it goes up by 1.

to

If the HP of a monster goes below 1, they die; they cease to exist and the Kills of the @ that dealt the most damage to the monster goes up by 1. If two or more @s dealt the same amount of damage to the monster the kills of the @ that dealt the killing blow to the monster goes up by 1.

If there is ever more than one REAL Amulet of Yendor in existence, all REAL Amulet of Yendors, the most recently created REAL Amulet of Yendor becomes a Cheap Plastic Imitation of the Amulet of Yendor.

An @ or RNG may Recognize an Amulet of Yendor when this rule explicitly permits it. To do so, they roll DICE2. If the result is 1, then that Amulet of Yendor becomes a REAL Amulet of Yendor.

If an @‘s Dungeon Level is 0, and they have an Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, then they may Recognize that Amulet of Yendor.

If an @‘s Dungeon Level is 0, and they have a REAL Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, they achieve victory.

Change rule 2.6 to read:

Each @ has a number called Dungeon Level (tracked in the GNDT), defaulting to 1. As a XYZ action, an @ may attempt to Find the Stairs; to do this, they roll DICE6 in the GNDT. The attempt is successful if that @‘s Kills is equal or higher than the result of that die roll. If the attempt is successful, and their Dungeon Level is not equal to an Amulet of Yendors, they increase or decrease their Dungeon Level by 1. If the attempt is successful and their Dungeon Level is equal to that of an Amulet of Yendor which is not in an @‘s Inventory, they either increase their Dungeon Level by 1, decrease their Dungeon Level by 1, or add that Amulet of Yendor to their Inventory.

On any successful attempt to find the Stairs, an @ decreases their Kills to 0.

If the proposal entitled “Turbo Grinding (take 2)” passed, replace XYZ in rule 2.6 with “daily”, otherwise, replace XYZ in rule 2.6 with “weekly”.

If at least a simple majority of EVCs to this proposal contain the phrase “make tourists useful”, then add the following sentence to the penultimate paragraph of rule 2.13:

If an @ has an expensive camera in their inventory, and they have an Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, then they may Recognize that Amulet of Yendor.

In the Rule titled Random Loot, remove the sentence:

Whenever an admin enacts a proposal by an @, its author Finds Treasure.

Remove the following from rule 1.5:

If the RNG’s most recent Vote is VETO, and that EVC includes the word “Procedural”, the vetoed proposal can be failed immediately by any admin, even if it is not the oldest pending proposal.

Re-write rule 1.2 as follows:

Anybody may apply to join BlogNomic (if he is not already playing) by registering at http://blognomic.com via the Register link in the sidebar, and then making a post announcing his arrival. An Admin shall add him to the roster in the sidebar and the GNDT, at which moment he becomes a @. A @ may leave the game at any time by posting an entry to the BlogNomic weblog requesting such an action. A @ may only change his name as a result of a proposal approving the change.

Some @s are Idle, and shall be marked as such in the sidebar. For the purposes of the Ruleset, excluding Rules 1.1, 1.2, and 1.10, Idle @s are not counted as @s. Admins may render a @ Idle if that @ has asked to become Idle or if that @ has not posted an entry or comment in the last seven days. In the latter case, the Admin must announce the idling in a blog post. Admins may de-Idle an @ at his request (unless that @ asked to become Idle within the previous 4 days, and within the current dynasty) - the @‘s personal gamestate retains the values it had immediately prior to his going Idle. If one or more values would be undefined, it is set to the value new @s receive, if such a value exists.

Add the following as a subrule to that rule, entitled Admins:

Some @s are Admins, responsible for updating the site and the Ruleset, and are signified as such in the sidebar. @s who wish to become Admins may sign up with a username for the Ruleset Wiki, and submit a Proposal to make themselves Admins. Existing Admins may voluntarily resign their post. New admins shall be given the GNDT configuration password when they become admins.

Idle Admins may make limited use of their powers. An idle Admin may resolve any proposal that has been open for voting for more than 48 hours, as per rule 1.5; may unidle existing @s at their request, or add new @s; and may resolve Calls for Judgement as per rule 1.6. The capacity of Idle Admins to use their Admin powers does not imply that they are @s in any situation other than those permitted by rule 1.2.

Quorum be 10, y’all.

Add a new dynastic rule, call it Trading with the text

At any time while an @ is on an even dungeon level they may trade 4 items in their inventory that are not ranged weapons for 1 item in either the basic weapons, armor, or potions table. It has an enchantment of 0 where applicable. With the exception of spellbooks, if an @ receives a ranged weapon this way, they receive 2 more of that ranged weapon.

At any time while an @ is on an odd dungeon level they may trade 2 items in their inventory that are not ranged weapons in order to Find Treasure.

Add a armor to the table in 2.5.3.

Its Name shall be “Dwarven Chain Mail”.

Its Base AC shall be 3.

Add a potion to the table in 2.5.4.

Its Name shall be “Potion of Enlightenment”.

Its Effect shall be “Add an Item of your choice not on your Discovery List to your Discovery List.”

In Rule 1.1,  after

The Ruleset and Gamestate can only be altered in manners specified by the Ruleset.

add

The Core Rules and Glossary cay only be altered in manners specified by the Core Rules.

Create a dynastic rule entitled “Expanding the tables.” with the text:

If the RNG makes a proposal with [New Weapon], [New Armor], [New Potion], or [New Monster] in the title, then that proposal is considered an Expansion Proposal.

An Expansion Proposal does not count against the RNG’s daily limit of two pending proposals, or their limit of three proposals per day, as described in rule 1.3, “Proposals”. An Expansion Proposal is not a valid proposal if it would, upon being enacted, change any gamestate other than that which is explicitly allowed in this rule. No Expansion Proposal may change more than one rule, or have more than one of [New Weapon], [New Armor], [New Potion], or [New Monster] in the title.

An Expansion Proposal with [New Weapon] in the title may specify one, and only one, weapon to be added to the table in rule 2.5.2.
An Expansion Proposal with [New Armor] in the title may specify one, and only one, armor to be added to the table in rule 2.5.3.
An Expansion Proposal with [New Potion] in the title may specify one, and only one, potion to be added to the table in rule 2.5.4.
An Expansion Proposal with [New Monster] in the title may specify one, and only one, monster to be added to the table in rule 2.4.

Throuought the ruleset, anywhere the sentence “The RNG may add X to this table as they see fit.” where X is either “weapons”, “armors”, “potions”, or “monsters”, appears, remove that sentence.

The @ named Darth Cliche is the Dictator. The Dictator may alter the ruleset or gamestate in any way, at any time. This rule may not be repealed or modified except by the Dictator.

then create a new rule with the following text, except with NN replaced throughout by the number of that rule:

For the purpose of the rule numbered NN (but not for other rules), this rule is an @ named Darth Cliche, and the Dictator; this rule takes priority over any other rule which would make that impossible. As soon as this rule is created, rule NN is immediately repealed (and an admin should update the Ruleset on the wiki to allow for that change, if necessary). Then this rule immediately repeals itself (and an admin should update the Ruleset to allow for that change, if necessary).

It is legitimate to merge all changes that would be made to the Ruleset by this proposal into one change, or into no change at all if it would not change as a result.

Each @ with an EVC on this proposal Finds Treasure.

If a simple majority of the EVCs on this proposal contain the phrase “I’m greedy.” then each @ with an EVC on this proposal may roll DICE3. If they do so, and the result is a 1, any items added to that @s inventory as a result of this proposal are removed from their inventory. If they do so and the result is a 3, then that @ Finds Treasure again.

If the proposal entitled “Victory Condition” fails, and this proposal is enacted, first enact “Victory Condition” as if it were part 0 of this proposal.  The actions proposed here, if enacted, must be done in order.

Part 1:  There is a special item called the cheap plastic imitation of the Amulet of Yendor.  There is also a special item called the real Amulet of Yendor.

Part 2:  Change all references of the “Amulet of Yendor” in the ruleset to the “real Amulet of Yendor”.  Change the rule entitled “The Amulet” to read:

There is a special item called the Amulet of Yendor.  Any Amulet of Yendor that is not part of an @‘s inventory has a Dungeon Level, tracked in the RNG’s row in the GNDT.  While the Amulet of Yendor is in an @‘s Inventory, if they Die as a result of Fighting another @ or another @ Fighting them, that other @ has the Amulet of Yendor added to their Inventory.  Similarly, if they Die due to any other cause, an Amulet of Yendor is created, having a Dungeon Level equal to that @‘s Dungeon Level.

There is an item called the Amulet of Yendor spawner. The Amulet of Yendor spawner has a Dungeon Level, tracked in the RNG’s row in the GNDT.  If an @ has an Amulet of Yendor spawner in their inventory, the Amulet of Yendor spawner is removed from their inventory, they receive an Amulet of Yendor, and a second Amulet of Yendor has a Dungeon Level equal to the @‘s Dungeon Level.  No @ may hold more than one Amulet of Yendor.

If no @ has the same Dungeon Level as the Amulet of Yendor spawner, and the Amulet of Yendor spawner’s Dungeon Level is greater than 1, and the Amulet of Yendor spawner has had the same Dungeon Level for the previous 48 hours and since the start of the week, any @ may decrease the Amulet of Yendor spawner’s Dungeon Level by 1.

If an @‘s Dungeon Level is 0, and they have the real Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, they achieve victory.  If an @‘s Dungeon Level is 0, and they have an Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, they roll a DICE2.  If the result is 1, they achieve victory.  If the result is 2, replace the @‘s Amulet of Yendor with a cheap plastic imitation of the Amulet of Yendor, and replace the other existing Amulet of Yendor with the real Amulet of Yendor.  Then, the @ Dies.

If there is a real Amulet of Yendor, all Amulets of Yendor are removed from the game.

Part 3:  If a majority of EVC’s of this proposal include the phrase ‘I am Still Alive’, replace the last sentence of the rule entitled “The Amulet” to read: 

Then, the @‘s Dungeon Level becomes 1.

Part 4:  In the rule entitled “Dungeon”, change the text:

If the attempt is successful, and their Dungeon Level is less than the Amulet of Yendor’s, they increase their Dungeon Level by 1.  If the attempt is successful and they have the same Dungeon Level as the Amulet of Yendor and no @ has an Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, they add the Amulet of Yendor to their Inventory.  If the attempt is successful, and either their Dungeon Level is greater than the Amulet of Yendor’s or they have the Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, they decrease their Dungeon Level by 1.

On any successful attempt, they decrease their Kills to 0.

to

If the attempt is successful, and their Dungeon Level is not equal to that of an Amulet of Yendor’s or the Amulet of Yendor spawner’s, they must either increase or decrease their Dungeon Level by 1.  If the attempt is successful, and their Dungeon Level is equal to that of the Amulet of Yendor spawner’s, the Amulet of Yendor spawner is added to their inventory.  If the attempt is successful, and their Dungeon Level is equal to that of an Amulet of Yendor which is not part of an @‘s inventory, that Amulet of Yendor is added to the @‘s inventory.

On any successful attempt, they decrease their Kills to 0.

Part 5:  Add a sub-rule to the rule “Victory Condition” entitled “Recognition”, which reads as follows:

An Amulet of Yendor can be Recognized.  When this happens, the RNG rolls a DICE2.  If the result is 1, the Amulet of Yendor is replaced with the real Amulet of Yendor, and the other Amulet of Yendor becomes the cheap plastic imitation of the Amulet of Yendor.  If the result is 2, the Amulet of Yendor is replaced with the cheap plastic imitation of the Amulet of Yendor, and the other Amulet of Yendor becomes the real Amulet of Yendor.

Add another sub-rule to the rule “Victory Condition” entitled “Limits”, which reads as follows:

No action may be taken that changes the number of Amulets of Yendor to a number other than 0 or 2.  No action may be taken that changes the number of Amulets of Yendor to 0 unless there exists a real Amulet of Yendor or an Amulet of Yendor spawner.  This sub-rule supersedes all other rules.

Quorum rises to 9.

Add a new Dynastic Rule to the Ruleset.  Call it “The Amulet” and give it the following text:

There is a special item called the Amulet of Yendor.  The Amulet of Yendor has a Dungeon Level, tracked in the RNG’s row in the GNDT. While the Amulet of Yendor is in an @‘s Inventory, if that @‘s Dungeon Level changes, then the Amulet of Yendor’s Dungeon Level changes to the same value.  While the Amulet of Yendor is in an @‘s Inventory, if they Die as a result of Fighting another @ or another @ Fighting them, that other @ has the Amulet of Yendor added to their Inventory.

If no @ has the same Dungeon Level as the Amulet of Yendor, and the Amulet of Yendor’s Dungeon Level is greater than 1, and the Amulet of Yendor has had the same Dungeon Level for the previous 48 hours and since the start of the week, any @ may decrease the Amulet of Yendor’s Dungeon Level by 1.

If an @‘s Dungeon Level is 0, and they have the Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, they achieve victory.

In the Rule entitled “Dungeon”, change the text

If the attempt is successful, they increase their Dungeon Level by 1 and decrease their Kills to 0.

to

If the attempt is successful, and their Dungeon Level is less than the Amulet of Yendor’s, they increase their Dungeon Level by 1.  If the attempt is successful and they have the same Dungeon Level as the Amulet of Yendor and no @ has an Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, they add the Amulet of Yendor to their Inventory.  If the attempt is successful, and either their Dungeon Level is greater than the Amulet of Yendor’s or they have the Amulet of Yendor in their Inventory, they decrease their Dungeon Level by 1.

On any successful attempt, they decrease their Kills to 0.

Set the Amulet of Yendor’s Dungeon Level to 10.

—-Part 1, or why the scam should be reverted
The scam Darth Cliche used does not work.  The text defining Special Abilities states that they are “ruletext associated with the monster”.  The Special Ability of a Dictatorship has nothing to do with the Monster itself; therefore Darth Cliche’s sequence of actions, i.e. adding it and then using the ability to modify the Ruleset even when there are no such monsters, was no more legal than it would be if he named a monster “The RNG may edit the ruleset” and used it to modify the Rules.

This CfJ establishes that the changes Darth Cliche made to the Ruleset never actually happened.  Any resulting discrepancies between the actual Ruleset and the version on the wiki shall be remedied.  Also, to avoid further confusion, remove the “special effects” column and its definition from Rule 2.4.

—-Part 2, why you should listen to Bucky more
“Although I don’t think Darth Cliche would actually do so, letting him add arbitrary live ruletext (potion effects) is a bad idea.” - comment on this proposal as one of two votes against

—-Part 3, or conduct expected out of Emperors
This isn’t the first time the Emperor has had a dictatorship.  As a rule, when we hand the Emperor power to modify the ruleset directly, we expect them to use their power responsibly and for the good of the dynasty.  In all previous cases, however, the Emperor has used their power responsibly, for the good of the dynasty.  They knew better than to use it on core rules, as modifying the core rules by fiat is understood to be bad for the Nomic.

—-Part 4, or the anti-repeat clause
As a “measure that shall be taken to resolve” this “issue”, Darth Cliche cannot directly modify the Ruleset by any means until either another CfJ explicitly says otherwise, or his name no longer appears in the Ruleset and he his no longer RNG or RNG equivalent.  As a direct consequence of this, Darth Cliche cannot admin proposals or CfJs for the same time period.

—-Part 5, or what to do if this fails
If this fails, Darth Cliche SHOULD (a) Make Rule 1.11 a Dynastic Rule and (b) Modify Rule 1.11 so as to self-repeal on ascension.  Have your fun now, but let it go when the Nomic needs you to.

It is possible (not very hard, really) to remove the dictatorship with a conspiracy of (quorum) people.  Anyone interested can contact coppro.

p.s. I don’t know whether this is a good thing.
p.p.s. if Agora had as many active players as you, it’d be lucky.

BlogNomic is dying.

In order to revive it, I gave myself a dictatorship, in the hopes that the older players will come back and try to remove it.

That is all.

An @ with a Role of “-” may, as long as X hours have passed since that @‘s role changed values (where X is a positive integer equal to 12 multiplied by that @‘s Deaths and rounded up to one), set their role to another value and simultaneously change their inventory to match the list of the new role’s starting inventory as described in the Ruleset, unless that @ has already performed this action since the most recent time they died.

Add a sub-rule to rule 2.3 “Inventory”, entitled “Dropping, Giving, and Picking Up”, with the following text:

At any time, an @ (the Dropper) may Drop one or more items in their inventory by making a post stating their intention, which must include the list of items which are being Dropped, and the current floor of the Dropper. The Dropper must then remove those items from their inventory. Those items are considered Dropped on the Dungeon Level specified in the original post.

At any time, an @ (the Giver) may Give one or more items in their inventory to another @ (the Receiver), who must be on the same Dungeon Level as the Giver, by making a post stating their intention, which must include the name of the Receiver, the list of items which are being given, and the current Dungeon Level of the Giver. The Giver must then remove those items from their inventory. The Receiver may reply with a comment, to the post, stating their acceptance of said items. They must then add the items to their inventory. If the Receiver does not take such an action within 48 hours of the original post, then those items are considered Dropped on the Dungeon Level specified in the original post with the Giver as the Dropper.

As a daily action, an @ (the Picker-Upper) may Pick Up one item which has been Dropped, provided that they are currently on the same Dungeon Level on which the item was Dropped, by posting a comment to the post which Dropped that item, stating which item they are Picking Up.

Add a new Rule to the Ruleset.  Call it “Experience” and give it the following text:

Each @ has a certain number of Experience Points, tracked in the GNDT under the column “XP”.  An @‘s Experience Points are initially 0.  Each @ also has an Experience Level, which is initially 1.  This may also be tracked in the same column.  If it is, the two values must be separated by a slash with the Experience Level first.  If an @‘s Experience Level isn’t tracked in the GNDT, it is assumed to be the smallest Experience Level with a Threshold greater than their XP.

An @‘s Experience Level is always at least 1 and at most 30.  Each possible Experience Level value has a Threshold associated with it.  The Threshold for Experience Level 1 is 20; the Threshold for Experience Level 10 is 10,000; The Threshold for Experience Level 20 is 10,000,000.  The Threshold for every other Experience Level is twice the Threshold of the previous Experience Level.  Whenever an @‘s Experience Points is greater than or equal to the Threshold for their Experience Level, they Gain a Level.

When an @ Gains a Level, roll DICE8, add 1 and increase their HP and Max HP by the result.  Their Experience Level increases by 1.  Then, if their Experience Points are greater than the Threshold for their new Experience Level, their Experience Points are set to one less than their new Experience Level’s Threshold.

Whenever an @ kills a Monster, each @ that Fought that monster and has not Died since then gains Experience Points equal to that Monster’s XP.

In the Rule entitled “Monsters”, change the text

each one has a number of HP and an amount of Damage, which is two integers (a number of Dice and a number of Sides).

to

each one has a number of HP and an amount of Damage, which is two integers (a number of Dice and a number of Sides).  A monster also has a number of XP. A Monster’s XP is always equal to that Monster’s initial HP, times that Monster’s Dice, times that Monster’s Sides, divided by three and rounded down, or 1 if the result is less than 1.

If an @ mentions the name of one (and only one) active @ in the same comment as their own vote on this proposal, this is regarded as a Nomination of the named @. If an @ is Nominated in the more EVCs than each other @ when this proposal enacts, that @ is known as the Ascendant.

If there is an Ascendant, enact a new Rule, “The Amulet of Yendor”:-

The @ named [XXX] has achieved victory.

...where [XXX] is replaced with the name of the Ascendant.

I’m back. I would like a de-idling please.

I’ve just checked in to see how the spammer situation is going these days, and it looks like ReCAPTCHA didn’t make any difference, and was actually letting through more spam accounts than before. Presumably this confirms that the main problem is human spammers who are being paid a few pennies to bypass a captcha and create an account.

For now, I’ve gone back to the BlogNomic trivia question that requires new signups to check the wiki and answer a simple question. If anyone has any further thoughts on approaches to take, let me know - the current question was letting through a few spammers before, so maybe we need to make it a little tougher. (As I think I’ve said before, we have a little more leeway in this than most blogs, since BlogNomic is a game, and forcing new players to solve a puzzle before they can join wouldn’t be entirely inappropriate.)

just discovered this game through stumble,seems cool .have no idea how it is played but i would like to join you guys in the fun
cheers

Add a new subrule to the Rule entitled “Combat”. Call it “Eating and Resting” and give it the following text:

A @ who has not Fought in the last 48 hours may Rest.  Resting increases their HP by 5 times their Experience Level, or by 5 if their Experience Level is not defined.  If Resting would increase their HP above their Max HP, it instead sets their HP to their Max HP. 

Whenever an @ Rests, if their Status contains Starving then they die, if their status contains Weak then they become Starving, if their status contains Hungry then they become Weak, and if none of these apply they become Hungry.

An @ with one or more Food Ration items in their Inventory may Eat.  When an @ Eats, they remove a Food Ration from their Inventory.  Also, if they are Hungry or Weak they cease to be, and if they are Starving they become Hungry instead.

In the Rule entitled “Status”, change all instances of the text “Hungry!” to “Weak”.

Hi, nice to meet everyone! I’ve never played a nomic before but they always seemed cool. Thanks in advance!

Add a new rule, Monster Inventories:

Monsters may carry items; this is known as the monster’s inventory. When an @ kills a monster, all items in that monster’s inventory move to that @‘s inventory.

Change:

Whenever an @ fights in a ranged encounter while wielding a ranged weapon, they decrease the number of that weapon they carry by 1.

in rule 2.5.2 to:

Whenever an @ fights in a ranged encounter while wielding a ranged weapon, they decrease the number of that weapon they carry by 1, and 1 of that weapon is added to the monster’s inventory.

Four players are sent off: Aquafraternally Yours, comex and Rodney haven’t made a post or comment in the last seven days, and lilomar requested to be idled. As Narya enters the pitch, the score (quorum) is one nil.

h2g2guy, ScrumHalf and Tiberias are close to idling as well.

Note to active admins: Narya shouldn’t have had to wait this long to be unidled. I see that multiple admins have posted and performed game actions while their request was pending.

Change the text of rule 2.7 to

A Monster is a type of game entity; each one has an internal ID, a name, an initial number of HP, an amount of Damage, which is two integers (a number of Dice and a number of Sides), a speed, intelligence, and possible special effect(s) as defined by rule 2.4 for that specific internal ID. A monster also has a number of XP. A Monster’s XP is always equal to that Monster’s initial HP, times that Monster’s Dice, times that Monster’s Sides, divided by three and rounded down, or 1 if the result is less than 1.

An active Encounter exists while at least one Monster exists. The RNG can create a Monster at any time; this either creates a new active Encounter; or adds Monsters to any existing active Encounter. When creating an Encounter, the RNG must detail the Monsters in it in a Story Post with [Encounter] in its title; new Monsters added to an existing Encounter must be detailed in comments to its associated Story Post, and the comments to that post should also be used by @s to track which Monsters are still alive, along with the current stats for each. If all Monsters in an Encounter cease to exist, the Encounter stops being an Encounter. Each Encounter has a Floor, which is any integer, and is set by the RNG

Within each Encounter there are Fights. A Fight is a battle between a group of @s and a singular Monster. A Fight starts when an @ declares that it is “Fighting” a specific Monster in the comments to the Story Post containing the Encounter. This can either be done by Attacking with a ranged weapon or by Charging the Monster.

An Fight starts out Ranged. A Ranged Fight becomes a Melee Fight when it has been continuously on the same floor as an @ for at least Y hours, and has continuously been a Ranged Fight for at least Y hours where Y is an integer. If there are ever no @s on a floor, all Melee Fight on that floor become Ranged.
A monster’s speed can be one of Sessile, Slow, Medium, Fast, Very Fast. If a monster’s speed is Sessile then Y is 48, if a monster is Slow then Y is 36, if a monster is Medium then Y is 24, If a monster is Fast Y is 12, and if a monster is Very Fast then Y is 6

Remove the first paragraph of rule 2.8 and add the following text at the beginning of rule 2.8

As a daily action, an @ may Attack or Charge one Monster or an @.
An Attack is the comment to an Encounter Story Post where the @ making the Attack must post the result of any dice roll, and how many HP the monster or @ being attacked has remaining must also be announced in the same comment. If the @ is not wielding a weapon, they must roll 1DICE2 in the GNDT in order to attack. If the @ is wielding a weapon, they must roll XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the number of Dice for their weapon, and Y is the number of Sides for their weapon. The result of the die roll (whichever is used), plus the enchantment of whatever weapon the @ wields, minus the enchantment of any armor worn by whatever the @ is fighting, is Damage Dealt. An @ may not attack a Monster in a Ranged Fight unless they are wielding a ranged weapon, and may not attack a Monster in a Melee Fight unless they are wielding a melee weapon or are not wielding a weapon (are unarmed). An @ may not Fight a Monster in an Encounter whose Dungeon Level is different than their Dungeon Level.
A Charge is the comment to an Encounter Story Post where the @ who is charging must, using the term “charge,” declare that they are moving closer to a specific monster.

Also, change the term “Floor” to the term “Dungeon Level” throughout the ruleset.

Add a new Rule to the Ruleset.  Call it “Random Loot”

Certain actions may result in a @ Finding Treasure.  Whenever an @ Finds Treasure, the @ or RNG who took that Action rolls DICE3. 
*If the result is a 1, the @ who Found Treasure has an Unidentified Potion added to their Inventory.
*If the result is a 2, roll DICEX, where X is one plus the number of items in the list in the Rule “Weapon List”; the corresponding item from that list is added to their Inventory.  If the result is exactly X, roll DICE(X-1) and the corresponding item from that list is added to their Inventory with a +(DICE2) Enhancement.
*If the result is a 3, roll DICEX, where X is one plus the number of items in the list in the Rule “Armor List”; the corresponding item from that list is added to their Inventory.  If the result is exactly X, roll DICE(X-1) and the corresponding item from that list is added to their Inventory with a +(DICE2) Enhancement.

This Proposal only has further effect if there is a “Potions” Rule.
Change the paragraphs in the “Potions” Rule that begin with “There is also one other…” and “An Unidentified Potion’s…” to

There is also one potion not on the Basic Potion table: the Unidentified Potion.  When an Unidentified Potion is added to an @‘s inventory, let N be the result of a DICEX roll, where X is the number of items in the Basic Potion table.  If the Nth Potion in the Basic Potion table is on that @‘s Discovery List, that @ gains that Nth Potion and loses the Unidentified Potion.

An Unidentified Potion’s Primary Effect is “Let N be the result of a DICEX roll, where X is the number of items in the Basic Potion Table that are not on your Discovery List.  Carry out the Primary Effect of the Nth item in the Basic Potion Table that is not on your Discovery List, and add that selected Nth item to your Discovery List.”

Whenever some positive number M items on the Basic Potion Table are added to an @‘s Discovery List, for each Unidentified Potion in that @‘s inventory, let N be the result of a DICEX roll, where X is the number of items on the Basic Potion Table that were not on that @‘s Discovery List immediately before the addition of the M items.  If N is less than or equal to M, that Unidentified Potion changes into the Nth item of the M items that were added to the @‘s Discovery List.

If, somehow, an @ has an Unidentified Potion in its inventory for some positive amount of time, but all items on the Basic Potion Table are in its Discovery List, delete that Unidentified Potion from the @‘s inventory and then give that @ a Potion of Water.  This paragraph does not prevent an Unidentified Potion that is added to the @‘s inventory from existing long enough to be replaced by a random potion as described earlier in this Rule.

There is also one other important potion, the Unidentified Potion.  When an Unidentified Potion is added to a @‘s inventory, roll DICEX where X is the number of items in the above table (currently 7).  If the result is less than or equal to the number of those items on that @‘s Discovery List, they gain a random potion that is both on their Discovery List and the table.

An Unidentified Potion’s Primary Effect is “This has the Primary Effect of the DICEXth item in the Basic Potion Table, where X is the number of items in the Basic Potion Table but not your Discovery List.  Also, add the selected item to your Discovery List.  If X is 0, instead gain a Potion of Water.”

Add a subrule to the rule entitled “Inventory”.  Call it “Discoveries” and give it the following text:

A @‘s Discovery List is a set of items which that @ recognizes.  Each @‘s Discovery List is tracked in that @‘s section of the wiki page entitled “i”, separately from that @‘s Inventory.

A @ may add an item in their Inventory to their Discovery List at any time.

In the Rule entitled “Death”, change the text

that @‘s Inventory is emptied

to

that @‘s Inventory and Discovery List are emptied

Add the text:

The RNG may add monsters to this table as they see fit.

to the end of rule 2.4, “Basic Monsters”.

Add the text:

The RNG may add weapons to this table as they see fit.

to the end of rule 2.5.2, “Weapon List”.

Add the text:

The RNG may add armors to this table as they see fit.

to the end of rule 2.5.3, “Armor List”.

The ruleset hasn’t been updated to reflect two of the changes made in the proposal “What he said. For real.”
The rule “Armor List” hasn’t been created and the title of rule 2.5 hasn’t been changed.

Is there some reason, or was it just an oversight?

In the Rule entitled “Monsters”, change the text:

An encounter starts out ranged but becomes melee if it exists for 24 hours.

to

An encounter starts out Ranged.  A Ranged encounter becomes a Melee encounter when it has been continuously on the same floor as an @ for at least 24 hours, and has continuously been a Ranged encounter for at least 24 hours.  If there are ever no @s on a Floor, all Melee encounters on that floor become Ranged.

In Rule 2.8 Combat, amend:

An @ may not Fight a Monster in an Encounter whose Floor is different than their Dungeon Level.

to read:

An @ may not Fight a Monster in an Encounter whose Floor is different to their Dungeon Level. An @ may not fight another @ whose Dungeon Level is different to their own.

In rule 2.8 Combat, amend:

As a daily action, an @ may Fight one Monster, or an @.

to read:

As a daily action, an @ may Fight one Monster or an @, and must announce the attack, result of any dice roll, and how many HP the monster or @ being attacked has remaining in the comments to the Encounter story post (or in the case of attacking another @, a new story post).

Amend rule 2.7 Monsters to read:

A Monster is a type of game entity; each one has a number of HP and an amount of Damage, which is two integers (a number of Dice and a number of Sides).
An active Encounter exists while at least one Monster exists. The RNG can create a Monster at any time; this either creates a new active Encounter, or adds Monsters to any existing active Encounter. When creating an Encounter, the RNG must detail the Monsters in it in a Story Post with [Encounter] in its title; new Monsters added to an existing Encounter must be detailed in comments to its associated Story Post. In addition, all monsters will be tracked in the GNDT, along with their HP and Dungeon Level. If all Monsters in an Encounter cease to exist, the Encounter stops being an Encounter. Each Encounter has a Dungeon Level, which is any integer, and is set by the RNG. A monster inherits the Dungeon Level of the Encounter in which it exists.
An Encounter can be Ranged or Melee. An encounter starts out ranged but becomes melee if it exists for 24 hours.

In Rule 2.8 Combat, amend:

An @ may not Fight a Monster in an Encounter whose Floor is different than their Dungeon Level.

to read:

An @ may not Fight a Monster in an Encounter whose Dungeon Level is different to their own. An @ may not Fight an @ whose Dungeon Level is different to their own.

If the Proposal “Wielding stuff, throwing stuff, enchantments, and other obnoxious things” passes, this Proposal does nothing.

Append the following text to the end of rule 2.5, “Stats and Weapons”:

There exist Armors, which are a type of item. If an @ carries an Armor, they may be wearing it.

Add a new subrule to rule 2.5, “Stats and Weapons”, titled “Wielding, Wearing, and Enchantment”, with the following text:

An @ may change their wielded weapon to any weapon which they carry, or to no weapon. An @ may only wield one weapon at a time.

An @ may change their worn armor to any armor which they carry, or to no armor. An @ may only wear one armor at a time.

The weapon an @ is currently wielding, and the armor they are currently wearing, are each tracked in GNDT columns, which both default to “None”.

All weapons and armors have an enchantment. An enchantment is an integer, and may be positive, negative or zero. If the name of a weapon or armor includes “+X” where X is a legal value for an enchantment, its enchantment is X. If the name of a weapon or armor includes “-X” where X is a legal value for an enchantment, its enchantment is -X. If a weapon or armor does not specify an enchantment, its enchantment is 0.

Add a new subrule to rule 2.5, “Stats and Weapons”, titled “Weapon List” with the following text:

The items listed in this table are weapons, with damage and type (melee or ranged) as specified:
{| border="1"
|-
! Name !! Type !! Damage ((dice)D(sides))
|-
| two-handed sword || melee || 3D6
|-
| axe || melee || MDN

|-
| short sword || melee || 1D8
|-
| quarterstaff || melee || 1D6
|-
| longsword || melee || 1D12
|-
| dart || ranged || 1D2
|}

Whenever an @ fights in a ranged encounter while wielding a ranged weapon, they decrease the number of that weapon they carry by 1.

Where M,N,X, and Y take on the values specified in the EVC to this Proposal of the RNG. If the RNG does not specify a value for any of the above letters, it defaults to 1.

Add a new subrule to rule 2.5, “Stats and Weapons”, titled “Armor List” with the following text:

The items listed in this table are armors:
{| border="1"
|-
! Name
|-
| ring mail
|-
| small shield
|-

|-
| leather armor
|-
| cloak of magic resistance
|-
| Hawaiian shirt
|}

Change:

The result of the die roll (whichever is used) is the Damage Dealt.

in Rule 2.8 to:

The result of the die roll (whichever is used), plus the enchantment of whatever weapon the @ wields, minus the enchantment of any armor worn by whatever the @ is fighting, is the Damage Dealt.

Change:

The RNG shall role XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the Monster’s Dice and Y is the Monster’s Sides, and decreases the @‘s HP by the result.

in Rule 2.8 to:

The RNG shall role XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the Monster’s Dice and Y is the Monster’s Sides, subtract from that the enchantment of any armor the @ is wearing, and decreases the @‘s HP by the result.

Rename rule 2.5 “Stats and Weapons” to “Stats, Weapons, and Armors”.

If at least half of the EVCs to this Proposal do not contain the phrase “daggers do both”, then the rest of this Proposal does nothing.

Change:

A Weapon can be ranged or melee

in rule 2.5 to:

A Weapon can be ranged and/or melee

Change:

and may not Fight a Monster in a Melee Encounter if they are wielding a ranged weapon.

in rule 2.8 to:

and may not Fight a Monster in a Melee Encounter unless they are wielding a melee weapon or are not wielding a weapon (are unarmed).

Change the type of the weapon “dagger” in the table in rule entitled “Weapon List” to “melee/ranged”

Idle me.
NO CARRIER

If the Proposal “Wielding stuff, throwing stuff, enchantments, and other obnoxious things” passes, this Proposal does nothing.

Append the following text to the end of rule 2.5, “Stats and Weapons”:

Whenever an @ fights while wielding a dart, they decrease the number of darts they carry by 1.

Where M,N,X, and Y take on the values specified in the EVC to this Proposal of the RNG. If the RNG does not specify a value for any of the above letters, it defaults to 1.

Add a new subrule to rule 2.5, “Stats and Weapons”, titled “Armor List” with the following text:

in Rule 2.8 to:

The result of the die roll (whichever is used), plus the enchantment of whatever weapon the @ wields, minus the enchantment of any armor worn by whatever the @ is fighting, is the Damage Dealt.

Change:

The RNG shall role XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the Monster’s Dice and Y is the Monster’s Sides, and decreases the @‘s HP by the result.

in Rule 2.8 to:

The RNG shall role XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the Monster’s Dice and Y is the Monster’s Sides, subtract from that the enchantment of any armor the @ is wearing, and decreases the @‘s HP by the result.

Rename rule 2.5 “Stats and Weapons” to “Stats, Weapons, and Armors”.

If at least half of the EVCs to this Proposal do not contain the phrase “daggers do both”, then the rest of this Proposal does nothing.

Change:

In the Rule entitled “Basic Monsters”, change the text

two numbers separated by a ‘d’

to

number of Dice and Sides

Add a sub-rule to rule 2.1 “RNG-Man” entitled “Non-@‘s not allowed.” with the text:

The RNG does not have a row in the GNDT.

Add a new subrule to “Stats and Weapons”, titled “Wielding and Enchantment”:

As a daily action, an @ may change their wielded weapon to any weapon which they carry, or to no weapon. An @ may only wield one weapon at a time.

A weapon has an enchantment, which is an integer, and may be positive, negative or zero. If the name of a weapon includes “+X” where X is a legal value for an enchantment, its enchantment is X. If a weapon does not specify an enchantment, is is assumed to be 0.

Change

The result of the die roll (whichever is used) is the Damage Dealt.

in Rule 2.8 to

The result of the die roll (whichever is used), plus the enchantment of whatever weapon the @ wields, is the Damage Dealt.

If the proposal titled “Combat” is enacted, do the following:

Change the second paragraph of the rule titled “Combat” to

There is a numerical GNDT field called “Kills” that defaults to 0. When an @ fights something, after rolling damage dealt, they decrease the HP of whatever they fought by the damage dealt. If the HP of a monster goes below 1, they cease to exist and the Kills of the @ that defeated it goes up by 1. If the HP of an @ goes below 1, they die.

In the rule titled “Dungeons” change the text

The attempt is successful if they have defeated X or more monsters, where X is the result of that die roll, since their Dungeon Level last changed. If the attempt is successful, they increase their Dungeon Level by 1.

to

The attempt is successful if that @‘s Kills is equal or higher than the result of that die roll. If the attempt is successful, they increase their Dungeon Level by 1 and decrease their Kills to 0.

Is it just me, or did our RNG mistakenly think that the Procedural Veto proposal passed when it didn’t, and then proceed to procedurally veto a bunch of proposals? Or is there something else going on here that I’m not aware of?

Replace the following words in Rule 1.9

Voter and Returning Officer

with the words

@ and RNG

I just posted the Proposal ‘Unan1mous’.  Literally, just posted.  At 21:19 UTC, roughly.  Although it was a pretty short rule, it took me a while to find all the loopholes I could and fix them; about 58 minutes. 

But when I looked at the age of the post in the Pending Proposals sidebar, and looked at the POSTED AT time as well, for that matter, they both seem to have started counting from the time I opened up the Publish page in ExpressionEngine!  This could cause a really bad issue, where you can just keep the publish page open for a day or so and insert a proposal earlier in the queue than it should be!

Is there any way that problem can be fixed, or is there any reason why it doesn’t need to be fixed? 

(This post actually posted at 21:27:20 UTC; check against what it says below).

Add a dynastic rule entitled, “Teamwork”, containing the following:

A group of Voters may collaborate to form a political party.

In order to form a Gang, a @ must make a post detailing the name of the Gang and the names of the specific @s they would like to invite to it. Those @s named in the post may indicate their agreement to form the Gang in the comments to that post. Once all named @s have indicated their agreement in this manner, the Gang is formed and all of the named @s, plus the @ who initiated the original post, are affiliated with it.

Each @’s Gang affiliation is tracked in the GNDT under “Affiliation”. Each @ may be affiliated with no more than 1 Gang. A @ may voluntarily cease to be affiliated to a party, by blanking their GNDT value for “Affiliation”, at any time.

If a @ wishes to join an existing Gang then they may make a post to that effect. Such a post must have the phrase “Petitioning for Membership:” and the name of the Gang they wish to join in the title. If a quorum of the @ affiliated with that Gang indicate assent in the comments to that post then the petitioning @ becomes affiliated with that Gang.

Create the following rule, entitled “Unanimous”:

No DoV may be enacted before 24 hours have passed from the time of the posting of the DoV. 

A DoV that has been self-killed or vetoed must be failed by an Admin before any other Votable Matters are enacted or failed, regardless of Rule 1.5.

No DoV may be enacted if more than 1 DoV is pending.  If 48 hours pass from the time of the posting of a pending DoV, and there are other pending DoVs, all DoVs are failed, and Hiatus ends.  If a DoV fails in this way, the @ who posted the DoV Dies.  If an @ self-kills his or her own DoV, and Hiatus ends in the manner specified in this rule, the @ who posted and self-killed the DoV also Dies.

This rule overrides all other rules which contradict this rule.

Please idle me temporarily. I will be vacationing, returning on or around the 13th. This may affect quota.

Create a new rule entitled “Status” with the text:

Each @ has a Status Line, tracked in the GDNT, which has a default value of an empty list. A Status Line is a list of zero or more of the following: Hallu, Hungry, Hungry!, Starving, Blind, Slime, Conf, or Stun. Hungry, Hungry!, and Starving are mutually exclusive.

If an @’s Status Line includes Hallu, that @ is hallucinating. Likewise for Hungry and hungry, Hungry! and really hungry, Starving and starving, Blind and blind, Slime and slimed, Conf and confused, and Stun and stunned.

Enact a new rule entitled “Status” reading:

Each @ has a Status Line, tracked in the GDNT. A Status Line is a list of zero or more of the following: Hallu, Hungry, Hungry!, Starving, Blind, Slime, Conf, or Stun. Hungry, Hungry!, and Starving are mutually exclusive.

If an @’s Status Line includes Hallu, that player is hallucinating. Likewise for Hungry and hungry, Hungry! and really hungry, Starving and starving, Blind and blind, Slime and slimed, Conf and confused, and Stun and stunned.

Create a Dynastic Rule called “Roles” with text

There is a Transient GNDT column “Role” with default value “-” that represents an @‘s occupation.  The allowed values are “-”, “Barbarian”, “Priest”, “Rogue”, “Wizard”, “Valkyrie”, and “Tourist”.

An @ with a Role of “-” may set its role to another value and simultaneously change its inventory to match the list of the new role’s starting inventory as described in the Ruleset, unless that @ has already performed this action since the most recent time it died.

.
Create a sub-rule to “Roles” called “Starting Inventories” with text

The starting inventories for the non-default roles are:
*Barbarian: 1 +0 two-handed sword, 1 +0 axe, 1 +0 ring mail, 1 food ration
*Priest: 1 spellbook of Protection, 1 +1 mace, 1 +0 small shield, 1 +0 robe, 2 potions of holy water
*Rogue: 1 +0 short sword, 10 +0 daggers, 1 +1 leather armor, 1 lock pick
*Wizard: 1 spellbook of Force Bolt, 1 +0 quarterstaff, 1 +0 cloak of magic resistance, 1 wand of cold
*Valkyrie: 1 +1 longsword, 1 +3 small shield, 1 food ration
*Tourist:30 +2 darts, 1 +0 Hawaiian shirt, 1 expensive camera, 5 food rations

.

Add a new rule titled “Stats and Weapons”, with the following text:

Each @ has a number called HP, and a number called Max HP. They are together tracked the GNDT column “HP”, which should display “X (Y)”, where X is the @ in question’s HP and Y is the @ in question’s Max HP. Each @ starts with an HP and Max HP of 10.

There exist Weapons, which are a type of item. A Weapon can be ranged or melee, and has an amount of Damage, which is two integers (a number of Dice and a number of Sides). If an @ carries a weapon, they may be wielding it.

Add a new rule titled “Dungeon”:

Each @ has a number called Dungeon Level (tracked in the GNDT), defaulting to 1. As a weekly action, an @ may attempt to Find the Stairs; to do this, they roll DICE6 in the GNDT. The attempt is successful if they have defeated X or more monsters, where X is the result of that die roll, since their Dungeon Level last changed. If the attempt is successful, they increase their Dungeon Level by 1.

Add a new rule titled “Monsters”, with the following text:

A Monster is a type of game entity; each one has a number of HP and an amount of Damage, which is two integers (a number of Dice and a number of Sides).

An active Encounter exists while at least one Monster exists. The RNG can create a Monster at any time; this either creates a new active Encounter, or adds Monsters to any existing active Encounter. When creating an Encounter, the RNG must detail the Monsters in it in a Story Post with [Encounter] in its title; new Monsters added to an existing Encounter must be detailed in comments to its associated Story Post, and the comments to that post should also be used by @s to track which Monsters are still alive, along with the current stats for each. If all Monsters in an Encounter cease to exist, the Encounter stops being an Encounter. Each Encounter has a Floor, which is any integer, and is set by the RNG.

An Encounter can be Ranged or Melee. An encounter starts out ranged but becomes melee if it exists for 24 hours.

Add a new rule called “Combat”:

As a daily action, an @ may Fight one Monster, or an @. If the @ is not wielding a weapon, they must roll 1DICE2 in the GNDT. If the @ is wielding a weapon, they must roll XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the number of Dice for their weapon, and Y is the number of Sides for their weapon. The result of the die roll (whichever is used) is the Damage Dealt. An @ may not Fight a Monster in a Ranged Encounter unless they are wielding a ranged weapon, and may not Fight a Monster in a Melee Encounter if they are wielding a ranged weapon. An @ may not Fight a Monster in an Encounter whose Floor is different than their Dungeon Level.

When an @ fights something, after rolling damage dealt, they decrease the HP of whatever they fought by the damage dealt. If the HP of a monster goes below 1, they cease to exist. If the HP of an @ goes below 1, they die.

After an @ fights a Monster, the Monster fights back; the Monster fights the @ who fought them. The RNG shall role XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the Monster’s Dice and Y is the Monster’s Sides, and decreases the @‘s HP by the result.

In the “Death” rule, replace

When this happens, all of that @‘s Transient GNDT stats are reset to the default values for a new @.

with

When this happens, that @‘s Inventory is emptied, and all of that @‘s Transient GNDT stats are reset to the default values for a new @.

Hi there,

although I am idling, I am active in the IRC and read today:

RIP blognomicbot; anyone got anywhere else to host it?

I own a server (with Debian 5.0) and could run the bot. Which language does it use? It is easy to install?

Kind regards, Keba.

PS: No, I do not deidle. Blognomic is to time intensive for now…

Enact a new rule entitled “Status” reading:

Each player has a Status Line, tracked in the GDNT. A Status Line is a list of zero or more of the following: Hallu, Hungry, Hungry!, Starving, Blind, Slime, Conf, or Stun. Hungry, Hungry!, and Starving are mutually exclusive.

If a player’s Status Line includes Hallu, that player is hallucinating. Likewise for Hungry and hungry, Hungry! and really hungry, Starving and starving, Blind and blind, Slime and slimed, Conf and confused, and Stun and stunned.

I wanted to implement hallucination, but decided to go for a full NetHack status instead, just for fun. I didn’t put some of the lethal ones in because they’re boring, but slime is cool. Also no encumberance. Things that are missing could be added later.

I do intend to implement at least hallucination if this passes, and probably even if it doesn’t.

Add a new rule to the ruleset.  Call it “Basic Monsters” and give it the following text:

The list of septuplets at the end of this rule is the Basic Monster Table.  The items in the septuplets describe a monster’s internal ID (a number), name (text), hit points (formula that may include DICE rolls), damage (two numbers separated by a ‘d’), a speed (one of Sessile, Slow, Medium, Fast, Very Fast), Intelligence (Yes or No), and special effects (ruletext associated with the monster, or None).

(0, Grid Bug, DICE3, 1d1, Slow, No, damage is 0d0 if attacking something shock-resistant)
(1, Newt, DICE6, 1d2, Medium, No, None)
(2, Kobold, DICE3 + 1, 1d4, Medium, Yes, has a Ranged attack that does 1d2 damage)
(3, Goblin, 2DICE3, 1d3, Medium, Yes, None)
(4, Coyote, DICE6 + 2, 1d4, Medium, No, None)
(5, Gnome, 2DICE4, 1d6, Slow, Yes, None)
(6, Hill Orc, 2DICE6 1d8, Medium, Yes, None)
(7, Rothe, 2DICE4, 3d3, Fast, No, None)

The admin who enacts this proposal may convert the information in the Basic Monster Table to a table rather than a list of .  Should said admin not do so, the RNG may do so, once, at any time before the end of the dynasty.

After the second bulleted list in rule 1.5, add the following paragraph:

If the RNG’s most recent Vote is VETO, and that EVC includes the word “Procedural”, the vetoed proposal can be failed immediately by any admin, even if it is not the oldest pending proposal.

Add a new rule called “Killed by Mr. Asidonhopo, the shopkeeper”, as follows:

Asidonhopo is an @ for the purposes of the Ruleset, but never goes Idle. Whenever a proposal is adminned, the admin adminning it shall roll DICE2 in the GNDT. If the result is 1, Asidonhopo votes AGAINST the proposal. If the roll is 2, Asidonhopo votes FOR the proposal.

Create a new dynastic rule entitled “Experimental Rules” and give it the following text:

Some rules are experimental rules. Some experimental rules are final. No core rule may be an experimental rule.

A rule is an experimental rule if, and only if, it contains one of the following sentences:
1:“This is an experimental rule.”
or
2:“This is a final experimental rule.”

An experimental rule is final if, and only if, it contains sentence two from above.

If any non-final experimental rule exists at the beginning of a dynasty, it becomes final. If any final experimental rule exists at the beginning of a dynasty, then it becomes a core rule and thus, non-experimental and non-final.
No rule may be created as a final experimental rule.

This is an experimental rule.

You can play it in your browser with the Java applet at http://alt.org/nethack/jta/

That is all.

After the second bulleted list in rule 1.5, add the following paragraph:

If the RNG’s most recent EVC is VETO, and that EVC includes the word “Procedural”, the proposal can be failed immediately by any admin, even if it is not the oldest pending proposal.

Nethack?  Sweet!  Please unidle me and hand me my crysknife…

Create a wiki page entitled “i” which has a section for each @, named “X’s Inventory” where X is the username of the @ to which that section belongs. Set each section of this page to a list of the items currently in the possession of the @ to which that section belongs.

Create a new rule entitled “Inventory” give it the following text:

A @‘s inventory is a list of items which that @ possesses. Each @‘s inventory is tracked in that @‘s section of the wiki page entitled “i” A @‘s Inventory is initially empty.

This typeface and color scheme is really hard to read on an iphone.

Please de-idle me; voting icons have come back.

It’s very difficult to read.

Thanks.

Blockquote example

Add a new rule titled “Stats and Weapons”, with the following text:

Each @ has a number called HP, and a number called Max HP. They are together tracked the GNDT column “HP”, which should display “X (Y)”, where X is the @ in question’s HP and Y is the @ in question’s Max HP. Each @ starts with an HP and Max HP of 10.

There exist Weapons, which are a type of item. A Weapon can be ranged or melee, and has an amount of Damage, which is two integers (a number of Dice and a number of Sides). If an @ carries a weapon, they may be wielding it.

Add a new rule titled “Dungeon”:

Each @ has a number called Dungeon Level (tracked in the GNDT), defaulting to 1. As a weekly action, an @ may attempt to Find the Stairs; to do this, they roll DICE6 in the GNDT. The attempt is successful if they have defeated X monsters, where X is the result of that die roll, since their Dungeon Level last changed. If the attempt is successful, they increase their Dungeon Level by 1.

Add a new rule titled “Monsters”, with the following text:

A Monster is a type of game entity; each one has a number of HP and an amount of Damage, which is two integers (a number of Dice and a number of Sides).

An active Encounter exists while at least one Monster exists. The RNG can create a Monster at any time; this either creates a new active Encounter, or adds Monsters to any existing active Encounter. When creating an Encounter, the RNG must detail the Monsters in it in a Story Post with [Encounter] in its title; new Monsters added to an existing Encounter must be detailed in comments to its associated Story Post, and the comments to that post should also be used by @s to track which Monsters are still alive, along with the current stats for each. If all Monsters in an Encounter cease to exist, the Encounter stops being an Encounter. Each Encounter has a Floor, which is any integer, and is set by the RNG.

An Encounter can be Ranged or Melee. An encounter starts out ranged but becomes melee if it exists for 24 hours.

Add a new rule called “Combat”:

As a daily action, an @ may Fight one Monster, or an @. If the @ is not wielding a weapon, they must roll 1DICE2 in the GNDT. If the @ is wielding a weapon, they must roll XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the number of Dice for their weapon, and Y is the number of Sides for their weapon. The result of the die roll (whichever is used) is the Damage Dealt. An @ may not Fight a Monster in a Ranged Encounter unless they are wielding a ranged weapon, and may not Fight a Monster in a Melee Encounter if they are wielding a ranged weapon. An @ may not Fight a Monster in an Encounter whose Floor is different than their Dungeon Level.

When an @ fights something, after rolling damage dealt, they decrease the HP of whatever they fought by the damage dealt. If the HP of a monster goes below 1, they cease to exist. If the HP of an @ goes below 1, they die.

After an @ fights a Monster, the Monster fights back; the Monster fights the @ who fought them. The RNG shall role XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the Monster’s Dice and Y is the Monster’s Sides, and decreases the @‘s HP by the result.

Add a new rule titled “Stats and Weapons”, with the following text:

Each @ has a number called HP, and a number called Max HP. They are together tracked the GNDT column “HP”, which should display “X (Y)”, where X is the @ in question’s HP and Y is the @ in question’s Max HP. Each @ starts with an HP and Max HP of 10.

There exist Weapons, which are a type of item. A Weapon can be ranged or melee, and has an amount of Damage, which is two integers (a number of Dice and a number of Sides). If an @ carries a weapon, they may be wielding it.

Add a new rule titled “Monsters”, with the following text:

A Monster is a type of game entity; each one has a number of HP and an amount of Damage, which is two integers (a number of Dice and a number of Sides).

An active Encounter exists while at least one Monster exists. The RNG can create a Monster at any time; this either creates a new active Encounter, or adds Monsters to any existing active Encounter. When creating an Encounter, the RNG must detail the Monsters in it in a Story Post with [Encounter] in its title; new Monsters added to an existing Encounter must be detailed in comments to its associated Story Post, and the comments to that post should also be used by @s to track which Monsters are still alive, along with the current stats for each. If all Monsters in an Encounter cease to exist, the Encounter stops being an Encounter.

Each @ has a Distance, which is tracked in the Story Post for an Encounter, not in the GNDT. The Distances of each @ shall be decided by the RNG when he begins an Encounter.

Add a new rule called “Combat”:

As a daily action, an @ may Fight one Monster, or an @. If the @ is not wielding a weapon, they must roll DICEX in the GNDT where X is their Strength. If the @ is wielding a weapon, they must roll XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the number of Dice for their weapon, and Y is the number of Sides for their weapon. The result of the die roll (whichever is used) is the Damage Dealt. An @ may not Fight a Monster if their Distance is greater than 1 unless they are wielding a ranged weapon, and an @ may not Fight an @ who has a different Distance than them unless they are wielding a ranged weapon.

When an @ fights something, after rolling damage dealt, they decrease the HP of whatever they fought by the damage dealt. If the HP of a monster goes below 1, they cease to exist. If the HP of an @ goes below 1, they die.

After an @ fights a Monster, the Monster fights back; the Monster fights the @ who fought them. The RNG shall role XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the Monster’s Dice and Y is the Monster’s Sides, and decreases the @‘s HP by the result.

As a daily action, an @ may Move. They roll DICE3 in the GNDT and increase or decrease their Distance by any number from 1 to the result, so long as their Distance does not go below 1.

Add an entry to the Glossary as follows:
A Hook is a word or phrase that is added to the Ruleset by proposal that is not defined or explained in the then-existing Ruleset or that Proposal, such that a definition or explanation can be supplied via a later proposal or game action. A Proposal containing a Hook may, but is not required to, acknowledge the Hook as such by setting it off with {curly braces}, in that case, the curly braces have no game effect and can be removed from the Ruleset by any Admin at any time.

Change the text

A GNDT update that does not perform a rules-defined action does not alter the gamestate; @s should not alter the GNDT except to correct it to match the actual gamestate (in the case that the two somehow end up different), or to perform an action.

in Rule 1.7 to

The GNDT merely represents the Gamestate, and is not the same thing. In the event that the Gamestate and the GNDT are different, any @ may correct the GNDT to comply with the Gamestate.

Add a new Rule to the Ruleset.  Call it “Death” and give it the following text:

Some GNDT fields may be declared Permanent by the Ruleset.  Any GNDT field that is not explicitly defined as Permanent is Transient.

There is a Permanent numerical GNDT field, “Deaths” that defaults to 0.

Sometimes another Rule may cause a @ to Die.  When this happens, all of that @‘s Transient GNDT stats are reset to the default values for a new @.  Then, that @‘s Deaths increases by 1.

Add a new dynastic rule titled Items with the following text, except that “2.X” is replaced with the section number of the rule when (if) enacted:

For the purpose of rule 2.X, the RNG is considered a @.

Each @ has a GNDT column labeled “Inventory” that tracks items and their quantities.  A @‘s Inventory is initially empty.  Any item for which the Ruleset does not explicitly provide means of tracking is tracked through that @‘s Inventory.

Any @ may change the GNDT to reflect changes in a player’s Inventory specifically provided for in the rules.

I idle. Quorum unchanged.

Could someone unidle me, please?

If a Rule called “RNG-Man” exists, add a subrule to it.  Call it “Dictation” and give it the following text:

Whenever the RNG is required by the rules to make a DICE roll, the RNG may elect to specify a result.  To do so, the RNG replaces the string “DICE” in the roll with the string “FIAT”, then appends the desired result to the end of the roll.  The RNG may not choose any result that was not a possible result of the original roll.

Add a new dynastic rule titled “RNG-Man”:

The RNG is not considered an @ for the purposes of dynastic rules and the contents of proposals, except if explicitly specified.

It is written in the Book of Darth Cliche:

After the creation, the cruel god Anthony rebelled against the authority of Kevan the Creator. Anthony stole from Kevan the most powerful of all the artifacts of the gods, the Amulet of Yendor, and he hid it in the dark cavities of Gehennom, the Under World, where he now lurks, and bides his time.

You, a newly trained Nomic-Player, have been heralded from birth as the instrument of Darth Cliche. You are destined to recover the Amulet for your deity, or die in the attempt. Your hour of destiny has come. For the sake of us all: Go bravely with Darth Cliche!

Repeal all dynastic rules (even though they’re all nonexistent. I like repealing all dynastic rules). Replace Blognomicker with @ and Victorious Blognomicker with RNG throughout the ruleset. Welcome to the NetHack Dynasty!

With the start of a new dynasty this seemed like a good time to jump in.  I’m announcing my arrival per 1.2; I imagine this will increase quorum to 12.

I have three ideas for a dynastic theme, and I’d like voting on them.

* Final Fantasy (would mainly be influenced by the earlier FFs, especially FF1, but proposals based on later FFs are okay too)
* NetHack (I’d like to run this one, but we’ve already had a map-based dynasty relatively recently: The Second Dynasty of Purplebeard. However, we could make the map not as important, but keep the randomized dungeon crawling theme.)
* Spyro the Dragon (I don’t really expect this one to be the winner, but I’ll throw it out there anyway. It would be based only on the original PSX trilogy by Insomniac Games, with only a few passing references in rule titles and proposal titles to the later games.)

...since DC will most likely be repealing them at the start of his dynasty anyway, but all Dynastic rules were repealed in the “going nowhere” proposal.

I unidle.

Quorum stays 11.

I would like to play your strange game please.

Flurie and Digibomber idle. Quorum drops to 10.

please unidle me, that I may become idle again when I forget to visit the website ever.

Per the proposal “This dynasty is going nowhere”, I have achieved victory.
