Update: Everything seems to have gone swimmingly. You may now resume your regular gamely activities.

Hey, all. Hope everything’s going well.

For a very long time Dreamhost has been encouraging its users to migrate all their databases onto one physical server. I’ve always postponed moving BlogNomic’s stuff so as not to cause downtime. But this “encouragement” has progressed to the point where it’s somewhat difficult for me to create databases for other sites now. So at midnight Pacific Daylight Time (that’s 7:00 am UTC), Dreamhost is going to go ahead and perform the migration.

There will probably be some brief downtime while it takes place. My understanding is that the old DB will be disabled before it’s copied to the new server, so there shouldn’t be any rollback of submitted content. But just to be sure, if you post anything tonight after reading this message, do check in the morning to be sure your content is still here.

The whole thing should be completed with no further intervention from me. If anything funny happens, .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and I’ll fix it as soon as possible. I will of course be making a complete backup of the database before the migration begins.

TL; DR: Brief downtime around 07:00 UTC. Database will be backed up. In case of emergency, .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

To the list of Education actions in rule 2.3 “Skills”, add:

• Retraining. The Student may remove one level of one Skill he has, and add one level of any other Skill.

If an earthling has level of two or more in all skills, excluding such skills as he may not legally attain (such as cooking for Robots or bending for Organisms) he may declare victory.

In rule 2.4.4 “Private Ownership and the Means of Production”, change

As a weekly action, any Earthling may take a Business Action on behalf of a Corporation that they are a member of, if no member of that Corporation has taken a Business Action for that Corporation earlier in the current week.

to

An Earthling who is a member of a Corporation may cause that Corporation to take a Business Action of their choice, but not if that Corporation took a Business Action in the previous 48 hours, or if that Corporation has already taken two Business Actions in the current week.

Enact a new rule, entitled “Scamming”, reading

As a business action, a Corporation may spend 7 units of Cash Product to purchase Earth. Earth is listed in a Corporation’s Stock. Only one Corporation may own Earth at a time; if another purchases it, the first loses it.

If an Inebriated Earthling is the only member of their Corporation, and that Corporation own Earth, that Earthling achieves victory.

Replace the first paragraph of rule 2.4.2 with

The Trade of a Corporation may be None, Delivery, Production, Research, Exploration, Science, or Medical, and defaults to “None”. Certain Trades have Skill requirements, as listed below:

and add

A Science Corporation must have one member with the Science Skill and one member with the Cooking Skill

.

Could someone unidle me, please?

To Rule 2.3, add:-

If an Earthling has had a proposal they authored pass in the previous 24 hours, if they are not Inebriated and if they do not possess the Science Skill, then they may award themselves a copy of the Science Skill.

Rodney and Spitemaster idle out after seven days of inactivity. Quorum drops to 6.

Professor Stephen Hawking is speaking at a historical reenactment symposium, and requires two units of Leisurewear Product (one jacket, one pair of trousers) and a Delivery Chit for his props.

Repeal Rules 2.3.1, 2.3.2 and 2.3.3, and replace the last paragraph of Rule 2.3 with:-

As a weekly action, an Earthling (known as the “Student”) may take one Education action. Available Education actions are:-

• Osmosis. The Student chooses a Skill. If the Student has a level of zero or one in that Skill, and if a member of their Corporation has a higher level in the same Skill, the Student gains a copy of that Skill. An Earthling not in a Corporation cannot learn by Osmosis.
• Upgrading. If the Student is a Robot and their Corporation possesses an Upgrade Disk, the Disk is consumed and the Student may gain a copy of any Skill.
• Study. If the Student is an Organism and their Corporation possesses an Study Pass, the Pass is consumed and the Student may gain a copy of any Skill.
• Lying. If any Skills exist which are possessed by no Earthlings, the Student may choose one of those Skills and gain a copy of it.

Enact a new dynastic rule, entitled “Jack of all Trades”

If an earthling has level of two or more in all skills, excluding such skills as he may not legally attain (such as cooking for Robots or bending for Organisms) he may declare victory

Aeromark and Flurie automatically idle out, after seven and eight days of inactivity. Quorum drops to seven.

Enact a new rule, “Customer Orders”:-

If no Active Orders exist, any Earthling may - as a daily action - announce an Order, in which a Customer issues a demand for a particular combination of Stock.

To announce an Order, the Earthling (known as the “Cashier”) must first roll an X-sided die in the GNDT, where X is the number of characters listed in the [[List of recurring characters in Futurama]] wiki page. (The Professor may add or remove characters to and from this list at any time.) The list item that matches the number rolled is the Customer.

Once a Customer has been established, the Cashier must roll three X-sided dice, where X is the number of distinct types of Stock (counting Products with different adjectives as being distinct, and excluding Cash Product) currently held by Corporations. Each roll result is then translated into a type of Stock, from that Stock’s position in an alphabetical list of Stock types (again, excluding Cash Product).

The Cashier must then post a Story post announcing the Customer, the Products they require (the “Shipment”), and an explanation of what they intend to do with it. Upon posting such a Story post, the Order becomes Active.

If a Corporation possesses the Shipment components of an Active Order, any member of that Corporation may remove those components from the Corporation’s Stock to complete the Order - the Order ceases to be Active, and the Corporation gains five Cash Product items for their Stock.

If an Order has been active for more than five days, it ceases to be Active.

Upon enactment of this rule, revert the List of recurring characters in Futurama wiki page to its first version, if it has been changed since the posting of this proposal.

To the first paragraph of Rule 2.4.4, add:-

Any game object produced by a business action is considered to be an item of Stock, and such items are added to the producing Corporation’s Stock upon creation.

Replace “As a business action, a Production Corporation may produce one unit of Product.”, with:-

As a business action, a Production Corporation may produce one unit of Product, prefixed by any one-word adjective, unless that Corporation already owns a unit of Product prefixed by a different one-word adjective.

And add an action:-

As a business action, a Science Corporation may change the adjective on any one unit of Product in their Stock.

A Leader of a Production Corporation may include the phrase “We unveil our new ‘XXX’ range” in comments to this post, where “XXX” is any one-word adjective. If any Corporations own any units of Product when this proposal enacts, the Product belonging to that Corporation shall be given the most recent adjective specified by the Leader of that Corporation, as per the previous sentence of this proposal. If no such adjective was specified for a Product, it shall take the adjective “Generic”.

Create a new dynastic rule, entitled Premium Goods:

As a weekly action, the Professor may create a story post in which he describes a customer who wishes to construct a unique Premium Good. This story post must detail the name of the Customer, nature of the Premium Good to be built, the quantities and types of Stock the customer needs in order to complete their Premium Good, and when the Stock needed to complete the Premium Good needs to be completed by. The Customer must then be added as an NPC in the GNDT; they do not need to be added to the list of NPCs in this ruleset.

If the Customer has enough Stock to complete their Premium Good by the time limit, then each Corporation gains one Payment (which is notated, as per other types of Stock, by an $ symbol) per item of Stock that they contributed to the Premium Good. In addition, the Delivery Company that transfered the most Stock to the Customer gains three Payments. A Delivery Company may not transfer more Stock to a Customer than it needs.

If the Customer does not gain enough Stock to complete their Premium Good within the stated time limit, then it collapses and all Goods transfered to it are lost.

Either way, when the Customer’s time limit has expired and all rewards have been distributed the Customer can be removed from the GNDT.

Amend the rule ‘Learning by Osmosis’ to read:

An Earthling may Learn by Osmosis. An Earthling may learn a skill by osmosis if that Earthling has a level of zero or one in that skill, and a member of their Corporation has a higher level in that skill. An Earthling not in a Corporation cannot learn by Osmosis.

The Debt-Dodging Airlines motto is, “When the loan sharks come after you, fly away.”

We provide services in:

1. Flying
2. Bamboozling the IRS
3. Avoiding debt collectors who can’t fly

One Earthling with the Piloting Skill may join, as well as one Earthling with the Accountancy Skill.

To the beginnings of Rules 2.3.1 Learning By Osmosis, 2.3.2 Learning By Upgrade, and 2.3.3 Learning By Study, add the following phrase:

As a weekly action,

In Rule 2.3, it says that:

An Earthling may undertake one of the Learning actions, listed as sub-rules to this rule, as a weekly action.

However, in Rule 2.3.1, it says:

An Earthling may Learn by Osmosis. An Earthling who does so may gain a copy of one skill possessed by another Earthling who is a member of the same Corporation as them. If an Earthling has more than 2 copies of a Skill, they may not gain further copies of that Skill through Learning by Osmosis.

So, I have the option of 1. Learning by Osmosis as a weekly action via Rule 2.3, or 2. Learning by Osmosis (no strings attached) via Rule 2.3.1. I take Option 2, multiple times. :D

I just decreased all robot’s AC by 1 to reflect the automatic change that rule 2.2 caused.

jmrdex and Wakukee idle. Quorum drops to 8.

Add the following to the end of rule 2.3.2, Learning By Upgrade:

• As a weekly action, a Production Corporation may produce one unit of Product. Each iteration of Product possessed by a Corporation is listed in the GNDT as a separate # sign, under Stock.

Reword Rule 2.4.4 (Private Ownership and the Means of Production) to:-

Corporations may hold Stock. The Stock that a Corporation holds is listed in its entry on the Corporations wiki page.

As a weekly action, any Earthling may take a Business Action on behalf of a Corporation that they are a member of, if no member of that Corporation has taken a Business Action for that Corporation earlier in the current week.

• As a business action, a Research Corporation may produce one unit of Learning Materials.
• As a business action, a Production Corporation may spend one unit of Learning Materials in their Stock to produce one Upgrade Disk.
• As a business action, an Exploration Corporation may spend one unit of Learning Materials in their Stock to produce one Study Pass.

In Rule 2.4.5 (PlanEx), replace “Delivery Chits are listed in the GNDT under stock, as a ~ sign.” with:-

Delivery Chits are listed as Stock.

...and replace “along with a comment in the GNDT” with “along with a comment in the edit summary”.

Remove all Corporations from the GNDT.

The admin enacting this proposal shall roll 1dN in the GNDT, where N is the number of PCs. The Xth PC in alphabetical order, where X is the result of that die roll, is awarded one copy of the Piloting skill.

The admin enacting this proposal shall repeat this process once for each two EVCs (rounded down) on this proposal with the word “more” in them.

If the Proposal titled “Now with 99.7% more Mom” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

Amend ‘Private Ownership and the Means of Production’ by replacing “Each Upgrade Disk is listed in the GNDT under Stock as a separate & sign.” with “Each Study Pass is listed in the GNDT under Stock as a separate & sign.

I would like to join this game, can someone add me?

I don’t like this dynasty very much, so please idle me.

In Rule 2.4.2 The Newspaper Route, change the text: “The Trade of a Corporation may be None, Delivery, Production, Research or Exploration” to:

Enact a new rule entitled “Une langue morte” reading

As a weekly action, a Cook can add one Bottle of Fine Liquor to their Corporation’s Stock. Each Bottle of Fine Liquor is represented with a “!” symbol in the GNDT.

At any time, an Earthling can Consume a Bottle of Fine Liquor in their Corporation’s Stock; doing so removes that Bottle of Fine Liquor from their Stock and increases that Earthling’s AC by 2.

By combining random words from astronomy and electronics, I’ve come up with a great name for a research corporation: Urrectum-Hertz!
We’ll research things completely unrelated to astronomy or electronics, maybe paper or something.

Any one Earthling with the Piloting Skill and any one Earthling with the Accountancy Skill can join.

And out again. Quorum is, once again, unchanged.

I am not able to “get in” a dynasty again, because I don’t have enough time. Blognomic seems to fast for me.

I do not want to play half-hearted and only vote most Proposals without doing anything really, so I hereby request to be idled.

Maybe I will rejoin in this Dynasty.

Quorum remains 11.

Add a new subrule to the rule “Skills” with the following text

As a weekly action, an earthling may either attempt to teach or to train. To teach, he names another earthling, a skill and roles a DICE6. If the result is less than or equal to the difference between the first earthling’s level in that skill and the second earthling’s level in the same skill, the second earthling may once within the next 24 hours append the letter for that skill to his skills. To train, he picks a skill which he has at least one level in and roles a DICEN where N is his level in that skill. If the result is a 1, the earthling may once append the letter for that skill to his skills.

Add a new dynastic rule called “NPCs”. Give it the following text

NPCs, or Non Player Characters, are other character in the game not controlled by any earthling but which count as earthlings for all dynastic rules. Unless otherwise indicated, an earthling may not perform any action on behalf of an NPC. PCs, or Player Characters, are earthlings who are not NPCs. Each NPC has a name, which is used to reference it the ruleset and mark its row in the GNDT. The NPCs in the dynasty are listed below

When an Earthling is Drunk, they are considered to be one level lower in each Skill, minimum 0, for the purposes of other rules.

Also change all instances of the word Drunk to Inebriated.

If a Skill exists called “Filanthropy”, rename it to “Cooking” throughout the ruleset, and replace “F” with “C” throughout the Skill gamestate.

In the rule “Skills” add the following to the list of available skills:

Bureaucrat

Amend the line that reads:

An Earthling’s Skills are tracked in the GNDT column “Skills”, each copy of a Skill being represented by the first letter of that Skill.

Corporations are groups of one to three Earthlings. Each Earthling can be a member of no more than one Corporation at a time.

Corporations are tracked on the wiki on the page named Corporations. For each Corporation, the page must detail the name of the Corporation, the Earthlings who comprise it, the Leader(s), their Skills, its Trade, and a brief description of what services the Corporation provides. It is the responsibility of each Earthling to ensure that the information thus stored for their Corporation is accurate and up-to-date. Each Earthling’s Corporation is also tracked in the GNDT.

When a Corporation is disbanded, it ceases to be a Corporation and all its members become members of no Corporation.

Enact a new subrule to “Mini Planet Expresses” entitled “Make and Break” reading

Any Earthling not in a Corporation may form a Corporation by making a post to the blog with “[Corporation] NAME” as its title, where NAME is the name of the corporation and is different from all previous Corporations. The post shall describe the services that the Corporation provides, as well as a listing Earthlings permitted to join it. The forming Earthling is the first member of the new Corporation.

Any Earthling can join a Corporation (if permitted and if the corporation has less than three members) or leave a Corporation by posting a comment to that effect to the Corporation’s post. If this causes a Corporation’s membership to be empty, it is disbanded.

Enact a new subrule to “Mini Planet Expresses” entitled “The Newspaper Route” reading

The Trade of a Corporation may be None, Delivery, Production, Research or Exploration, and defaults to “None”. Certain Trades have Skill requirements, as listed below:-

• A Production Corporation must have one member with the Bending Skill, and one member with the Accountancy Skill.
• A Research Corporation must have one member with the Science Skill, and one member with the Accountancy Skill.
• An Exploration Corporation must have one non-Drunk member with the Piloting Skill, and one member with the Science Skill.

If a Corporation does not meet the criteria for its Trade, any Earthling may change its Trade to “None”. If a member of a Corporation has a higher Leadership Skill than any other member of that Corporation, they may change the Trade of that Corporation at any time, provided that the Corporation meets the requirements listed above for its new Trade.

Create a subrule of Drunkeness, “Lost Inhibitions”:-

Whenever a Clothed Organism’s Drunkeness increases, and that Organism is Drunk after the increase, then the Earthling making the change must roll DICEX where X is the Organism’s new Drunkeness. If the result is three or greater, then the Organism’s Clothing becomes Naked.

If the Proposal titled “I Could Bend a Girder To Any Angle” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

If the Proposal titled “Future Stock” passed, but had no effect due to the failure of an earlier proposal, enact its stated effects, substituting the word “Jobs” for “Skills” in the second paragraph.

Enact a new Rule, “Skills”:-

Each Earthling may possess a number of Skills. An Earthling may possess multiple copies of the same Skill - the number of copies of a Skill that an Earthling has is known as their “Level” in that Skill. An Earthling’s Skills are tracked in the GNDT column “Skills”, each copy of a Skill being represented by the first letter of that Skill.

Available skills are:-

• Accountancy
• Bending
• Leadership
• Medicine
• Piloting
• Science

All Earthlings start with no Skills. If an Earthling has no Skills, they may roll DICEX, where X is the number of Skills in the above list, and gain one Level of the Skill whose position in the list matches the die roll.

After the rule has enacted, set the Professor’s Skills to “SSS”.

Unidle me please.

aeromark98 would like to become an active Earthling.

If the Proposal “Now with Extra Lugnuts” fails, this does nothing.

Enact a new dynastic rule entitled “Clothing!” with the following text:

“An Earthling’s Clothing is either Clothed or Naked, tracked in the GNDT. An Earthling without a Composition does not have a Clothing status, except for the Professor, whose Clothing defaults to Naked.

If the Proposal titled “Hold Out Your Hand” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled “Mini Planet Expresses”:

Up to three Earthlings can band together to form a Corporation. Each Earthling can be a member of no more than one Corporation at a time.

An Earthling’s Composition is either Organism or Robot, tracked in the GNDT. If an Earthling does not have a Composition, then any Earthling should roll DICE2 in the GNDT indicating the first Earthling; that Earthling’s Composition becomes Organism if a 1 is rolled, and Robot if a 2 is rolled.

Enact a new dynastic rule, entitled “Drunkeness”, reading

Every Earthling with a Composition has an Alcohol Content (AC), tracked in the GNDT. AC is an integer value from 0 to 5; it defaults to 0 for Organisms, and 5 for Robots.

An Organism is Drunk if their AC is 3 or higher, and a Robot is Drunk if their AC is 2 or lower.

Add a new dynastic rule, entitled Occupational Destiny:

Each Eathling’s Job is tracked in the GNDT. An Earthling’s Job is the job title generated by this tool when fed that Earthling’s name (either one of the male or female results may be chosen).

Once added to the GNDT, an Earthling’s job may never be changed.

Enact a new dynastic rule, entitled “Robots!”, reading

An Earthling’s Composition is either Organism or Robot, tracked in the GNDT. If, for any reason, an Earthling does not have a Composition, then any Earthling should roll DICE2 in the GNDT for that Earthling; their Composition becomes Organism if a 1 is rolled, and Robot if a 2 is rolled.

Good news, everyone!.

My newest invention is a game where the rules can be changed as you play! I’m already using it, you see, to repeal all dynastic rules except ‘The Mantis Mantra’, replace High-Programmer with Professor, and replace Citizen with Earthling.

If only someone could explain to me what those words mean.

ZZzzz…

Wha?

I request to be unidled as the dynasty appears to be ending. Looking forward to a new one.

I have a negative treason score (-5) which at least 5 less than every other Citizen’s (they all have 0 or nonexistent ones). I have achieved victory per rule 2.1.5.2.

Repeal the rules “We Are Not Alone” and “Reactor Leak”, and all of the subrules of those two rules.

Add a new definition to the glossary, Official Post, defined as

Enact a new YELLOW rule entitled ‘The Mantis Mantra’ reading

The mantra of all Citizens is as follows:

Great Wall of Prophecy, reveal to us Friend Computer’s will that we will blindly obey.

Free us from thought and responsibility.

We shall read things off you.

Then do them.

Your words guide us.

We’re dumb.

Enact a new RED rule reading ‘No Thinking Allowed

No Citizen shall read from the Great Wall of Prophecy. Any Citizen caught doing so may be summarily terminated by any Officer.

“Popsy Pervy” and its subrules, are promoted to YELLOW from RED.
“Proposal Perversity” is promoted to ULTRAVIOLET from RED.
“The Locked Room” and “Travel Permits” are both promoted to ORANGE from RED.

Enact a new YELLOW rule that reads

Citizens shall not attend any group meetings which have not been scheduled. Citizens can schedule group meetings by filling out form B3DD8Q, or form IU9MN if the purpose of the meeting is treasonous.

Enact a new YELLOW rule that reads

The High-Programmer shall, as soon as possible after this rule is enacted, assign every Citizen to one or more groups. Then this rule is repealed.

Friend Computer has informed me that, due to continued nonperformance of eir duties (specifically, none), Citizen Kyre-R-BGN-1 shall not be considered a Citizen until further notice.

Friend Computer has additionally informed me that, due to this, the ability of Citizens to make decisions in the Alpha Complex has increased by a factor of one ninth. Citizens are reminded that making decisions is forbidden without prior authorization in triplicate.

May Friend Computer guide us.

Replace the text of “UV citizens” to read:-

The High-Programmer may replace any references to ‘the High-Programmer’ in the dynastic rules, not including this rule, with, ‘any ULTRAVIOLET Citizen’.

The High-Programmer may replace any references to ‘Citizens or Officers’ or references to ‘Officers or Citizens’ in the dynastic rules, not including this rule, with, ‘Citizens’, or with ‘Officers’.

The High-Programmer may replace any references to ‘ULTRAVIOLET Citizen’ with ‘ULTRAVIOLET Officer’.

Enact a YELLOW rule entitled ‘Rewarding Unsuspicious Behavior”.

Any Citizen who successfully makes an Accusation against another Citizen is awarded -1 TP.

Any Citizen who makes an incorrect Accusation or makes an Accusation against themselves is awarded +2 TP.

Enact an ORANGE rule entitled “Not this way”.

Any Citizen caught heading westward between 0000 hours and 1336 hours will be fined.

Create a new Dynastic rule with ORANGE clearance.  Call it “Taboo Topics” and give it the following text:

A non-Proposal, non-CfJ blog post is Treasonous if it contains the words “paranoia”,  “paranoid” or “communist”, the phrases “secret society” or “mutant power”, or any mention of a Clearance above Ultraviolet.  It is also treasonous to mention or discuss the contents of rules 3.5.1 or 3.5.2.

“Perversity” is promoted to VIOLET Clearance.
“Reactor Leak” and “We Are Not Alone” are promoted to INDIGO Clearance.
“The Underground” and “Forms” are promoted to GREEN Clearance.

All subrules are Promoted or Demoted to the Clearance of their parent rules.

Create an ULTRAVIOLET rule, “Hero of our Complex” with no Text.

Create a subrule of “Hero of our Complex”, “Behind Every Great Citizen…”:-

If there is an ULTRAVIOLET Citizen who is not the High-Programmer, then the Citizen with the highest non-ULTRAVIOLET Clearance (if there is one) has Achieved Victory.

Create a subrule of “Hero of our Complex”, “A Shining Example”:-

If any Citizen has a negative Treason score, and that score is at least five less than all other Citizens Treason score, then that Citzen has Achieved Victory.

Create a subrule of “Hero of our Complex”, “The Lone Wolf”:-

If a Citizen has been in a Sector for the past 48 hours, and they have been the only Citizen in that Sector for that entire time, then that Citizen has Achieved Victory.”

If at least 3 EVCs on this proposal contain the name of a subrule which would be created by this proposal, do not create that subrule.

I idle out. Quorum doesn’t change even a little bit.

Create a subrule to Debriefing, “Accusations”:-

An accusation post is a Blog Post with “[Accusation]” in the title. Accusation posts may only be made when all Mission Requirements have been met. Accusation posts must contain a list of Citizens to be terminated, and reasons for the termination of each of those Citizens. Comments on an accusation post which contain Arrows are Endorsements for that Accusation post.
An Accusation post is Accepted if any of the following conditions are met:
* It has 5 endorsements made by different citizens within 24 hours of being posted.
* It has 3 endorsements made by different officers within 24 hours of being posted.
* It has an endorsement from the High-Programmer within 24 hours of being posted.

If an accusation post is Accepted any Admin may terminate the citizens listed in the Accusation Post and mark the Accusation post as Illegal.

Create a subrule to Debriefing, “HOOC”:-

If all mission Requirements have been met for the past 72 hours, then any Citizen may Achieve Victory if they meet all of the following requirements:
* Their Clone Number is less than 7.
* Their Clearance is higher than the clearance of at least Quorum Citizens.
* Their Treason is less than 3.

The Mission and Debriefing are promoted to BLUE from RED.

Code of Conduct is Promoted from RED to GREEN.

The rules Naming Scheme, Clones, Treason, Location, Reactor Leak (and all its subrules), We Are Not Alone (and all its sub and sub-sub, and sub-sub-sub, and sub-sub-sub-sub rules), and Perversity are Demoted to INFRARED from their current respective clearances.

The rules Naming Scheme, and Clones are Promoted to ULTRAVIOLET from INFRARED.
The rules Treason, and Location are promoted to VIOLET from INFRARED.
The rules Reactor Leak (and all its subrules), We Are Not Alone (and all its sub and sub-sub, and sub-sub-sub, and sub-sub-sub-sub rules), and Perversity are Promoted to RED from INFRARED.

Naming Scheme, Only The Computer Knows All, and Clones are Promoted to ULTRAVIOLET from RED.
Treason and Location are Promoted to VIOLET from RED.
Slander and Thank You For Your Loyalty Citizen! are Demoted from RED to INFRARED.

ais523, Bucky, and coppro are Promoted to YELLOW from RED.

Change the last paragraph of rule 1.2 to read:

Some Citizens are Idle, and shall be marked as such in the sidebar. For the purposes of the Ruleset, excluding Rules 1.1, 1.2, 1.8 and 1.10, Idle Citizens are not counted as Citizens. Admins may render a Citizen Idle if that Citizen has asked to become Idle or if that Citizen 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 render themselves Idle at any time by announcing that they have done so in a blog post.  Admins may de-Idle an Citizen at his request, and Idle Admins may de-idle themselves at any time, unless the idle Citizen in question asked to become (or rendered themselves) Idle within the previous 4 days, and within the current dynasty. The Citizen’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 Citizens receive, if such a value exists.

In Rule 1.4, replace “If a Citizen Votes against their own Proposal, that Vote may not be changed. This is referred to as a Self-Kill.” with:-

If a Citizen Votes against their own Proposal, this renders the Proposal self-killed and that Vote may not be changed.

Idling. Quorum is 10.

Quorum rises to 11.

Repeal all dynastic rules. With each EVC on this proposal, a name of one active citizen may be given.  Whichever citizen is mentioned in the most EVCs on this proposal achieves victory.

I made a few minor corrections to alethioscript to fix it to match the current core rules.
* It now counts implicit FORs on all Votable Matters, not just Proposals.
* It ignores emoticons which are not legal votes (including ARROWs and VETOs made by non-emperor players).
* It doesn’t count VETOs or s/k’s on Votable Matters which are not Proposals.
* It treats author DEFs like other DEFs and s/k’s with an author DEF and an imperial AGAINST.

I also added the ability to change the color of the “new comments” links, per request from Ienpw_III.
Anyway, I uploaded it to http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/83555 if anyone wants to try it out.

Amend Rule 1.8 to read

BlogNomic is divided into a number of Dynasties. Most Dynasties are headed by a single Citizen, known as the High-Programmer, and are named according to the number of Dynasties they have headed (eg. “The First Dynasty of Myke”). Some Dynasties have no High-Programmer; those are Metadynasties and are named according to the number of Metadynasties (e.g. “The Third Metadynasty”).

The High-Programmer, if there is one, may Vote to VETO any Proposal.

Begin a new Metadynasty. Repeal all dynastic rules.

Perform the following actions, in order.
1) Move all Dynastic Rules to the RED section of the Dynastic Rules.
2) Move the following Dynastic Rules to the ULTRAVIOLET section of the Dynastic Rules, along with all of their subrules, subrules of their subrules, etc:
* Clearance Levels
* Clones
* Naming Scheme
3) Set the Clearance Level of all Citizens to RED
4) Set the treason of all Citizens to 0.
5) Set the PP of all Citizens to 0.
6) Set the Clone-Number of all Citizens to 1.
7) Set the Clearance Level of lilomar to ULTRAVIOLET

Amend the rule ‘UV Citizens’ by replacing ‘any ULTRAVIOLET Citizen’ with ‘any ULTRAVIOLET Officer’.

Amend the rule ‘Information Clearance’ by appending ‘For the purposes of any ULTRAVIOLET dynastic rule, ULTRAVIOLET Citizens are both Citizens and Officers.’

Amend Rule 1.3 by replacing the list with:

• A Citizen cannot submit a non-Core Proposal if that Citizen already has two or more non-Core Proposals pending.
• A Citizen cannot submit a Proposal if that Citizen already has three or more Proposals pending.
• A Citizen cannot submit a Proposal if that Citizen has already submitted three or more Proposals that day.

Replace the definition of Core Proposal with

A Proposal whose changes are limited to the creation, deletion, and/or amendment of core rules and/or the glossary, and/or renaming, banning, and/or the granting or removing of admin status from one or more Citizens.

To the end of “ProDemote”, add:-

The High-Programmer may Promote to any Clearance and my Demote from any Clearance.

In the rule “ProDemote” change:-

Citizens of BLUE Clearance may Promote to ORANGE Clearance and may Demote from GREEN or lower Clearance.

to

Citizens of BLUE Clearance may Promote to ORANGE or lower Clearance and may Demote from GREEN or lower Clearance.

Perform the following actions, in order.
1) Move all rules to the RED section of the Dynastic Rules.
2) Move the following rules to the ULTRAVIOLET section of the Dynastic Rules, along with all of their subrules, subrules of their subrules, etc:
* Clearance Levels
* Clones
* Naming Scheme
3) Set the Clearance Level of all Citizens to RED
4) Set the Clearance Level of lilomar to ULTRAVIOLET

Set the Clearance Level of the Dynastic Rule entitled “Clearance Levels” to ULTRAVIOLET.  Set the Clearance Level of all its subrules to ULTRAVIOLET as well.  Finally, set the Clearance Level of the High-Programmer to ULTRAVIOLET.

So, suppose there’s a Citizen with higher Clearance than the rule “Information Clearance”.

Unfortunately, the rule forgets to exclude itself; thus, for the purposes of rule 2.1.1.1, a Citzen with higher Clearance than rule 2.1.1.1 is not a Citizen, according to rule 2.1.1.1; except that this cancels the effect of the rule, so they are a Citizen; except that makes the rule apply again…

I think this is an actual paradox. It’s possible that lilomar and coppro have platonically become INFRARED due to it being paradoxical whether they have a clearance or not (thus forcing their clearance to default), but I’m not sure.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Amend Rule 1.3 by replacing the list with:

• A Citizen cannot submit a non-Core Proposal if that Citizen already has two or more non-Core Proposals pending.
• A Citizen cannot submit a Proposal if that Citizen already has three or more Proposals pending.
• A Citizen cannot submit a Proposal if that Citizen has already submitted three or more Proposals that day.

Replace the definition of Core Proposal with

A Proposal whose changes are limited to the creation, deletion, and/or amendment of core rules and/or the glossary, and/or renaming, banning, and/or the granting or removing of admin status from one or more Citizens.

The rule Naming Scheme (2.8.3) that I can request this, so I shall.

Lilomar please change my prime name to Jm and my home sector to DEX. Just posted it as a post to remind people it can be done.

What happened since my short leave? There seems to be a lot of chaos.

Amend the rule ‘UV Citizens’ by replacing ‘any ULTRAVIOLET Citizen’ with ‘any ULTRAVIOLET Officer’.

Amend the rule ‘Information Clearance’ by appending ‘For the purposes of any ULTRAVIOLET dynastic rule, ULTRAVIOLET Citizens are both Citizens and Officers.’

spikebrennan goes idle (for real). 19 Citizens. Quorum is 10.

Set the clearance of every dynastic rule to RED, except “ProDemote”; set its clearance to ULTRAVIOLET.
Set the clearance of every Citizen to RED, except set the clearance of the High-Programmer to ULTRAVIOLET.
Remove every entry on the Code of Conduct.
Set every Citizen’s Clone Number to 1, and Treason and Perversity Points to 0.
In the rule “ProDemote”, change every instance of “Story Post” to “blog post”.

I’ve made a small adjustment to the weblog so that when you click on a post from a search page or from the “all posts by this member” page, it gives you the actual page rather than a blank screen. If you notice any problems suddenly popping up on the weblog, shoot me a message and I’ll revert it.

Create a new core rule entitled “Terms of Success”, which will contain several subrules.

Create a subrule of “Terms of Success” entitled “Ultimate Operative” which says:

A citizen who is a member of The Secret Police achieves victory if his home sector is WIN, he has 0 Treason points, has 0 Perversity Points, and has a clearance of ULTRAVIOLET.

Create a subrule of “Terms of Success” entitled “Secret Invader” which says:

A citizen who is a member of The Alien Subversives achieves victory if his home sector is WIN, he has 0 Treason points, has 8 or more Perversity Points, and has a clearance of ULTRAVIOLET.

Create a subrule of “Terms of Success” entitled “Rebel Assault” which says:

A citizen who is a member of The Rebel Usurpers achieves victory if his home sector is WIN, he has 5 Treason points, has 0 Perversity Points, and has a clearance of ULTRAVIOLET.

Create a subrule of “Terms of Victory” entitled “The Godfather” which says:

A citizen who is a member of The Criminal Underground achieves victory if his home sector is WIN, he has 5 Treason points, has 8 or more Perversity Points, and has a clearance of ULTRAVIOLET.

If the majority of votes on this proposal include the phrase “Equality First”, then drop the clearance levels of all citizens other than the High-Programmer with a clearance of ULTRAVIOLET or VIOLET to INDIGO and the clearance levels of all citizens with a clearance of INDIGO to BLUE.

lilomar illegally idled me before I should have gone idle. I call shenanigans. Also, any changes to gamestate because of this SHOULD be reverted, it anyone wants to go over it.

Congratulations to ais523, who has returned from a mission outside the Alpha Complex.

Quorum is unchanged.

Revert any effects that may have occured of all attempts that were made to promote or demote a rule or citizen per the rule “ProDemote” since it was enacted.

I demote flurie to BLUE clearance if I can legally do so.

The definition of Official Posts is (from Rule 1.7) “Posts following the format specified by a rule are considered official posts”.
From the definition of Official Post, I infer that if the rule specifying the format of an Official Post is repealed, that post ceases to be an Official Post.
The definition of Story posts (in the Glossary) requires a Story Post to be an Official Post.

Also, the description of the Code of Conduct action designated “UPPITT” explicitly requires that the post in question be a Story Post.  Any other citizen with ULTRAVIOLET clearance can confirm this.

Therefore, revert any processings of instances of UPPITT for comments on posts that were Story Posts in a previous dynasty but are not in this dynasty, and revert any changes in Clearance made based on the effects of those instances of UPPITT on Citizens’ Treason values.

I am awarding myself -6 TP for UPPITT on the following posts:

An accusation worth dying for
A lame accuse
bang bang shoot shoot
Key Updates
Pikachu, I accuse you!
Your Pikachu evolved into Spamchu!

I promote myself to INDIGO.

I am awarding myself -6 TP for UPPITT on the following posts:

The police…

I promote myself to VIOLET.

I am awarding myself -6 TP for UPPITT on the following posts:

[Encounter]: Temple Guardians
Creativity

I promote myself to ULTRAVIOLET.

For displaying excellent creativity, citizen Mac-Y-ULL-3 is promoted to BLUE clearance.

Testing something.

Change the clearance of Rule 2.4.1 to RED.

I demote Flurie to RED clearance.
I promote Flurie to YELLOW clearance.

This should be legal regardless of which intermediate steps are considered legal.

But this is stating that Bucky’s reversion of my illegal gamestate was also illegal. Protosals and posts detailing GNDT changes that are not rules probably don’t fit. I am reverting the gamestate to the time prior to my scam and then doing the following:

Spending 4 PP to give myself -4 Treason

Giving myself -2 Treason for UPPITT on the following posts:

Repairs complete.
Story Post: Because the managers deserve a proposal bonus too

Promoting myself to INDIGO

Giving myself -6 Treason for UPPITT on the following posts:

Because it said I should.
Stab
coup de grace
you’ve been very naughty
Sanctioned for termination
A Reward for Punctuality

Promoting myself to VIOLET

Repeal Code of Conduct actions PROPAA, UPPITT, ALEBRK, FNSHHM, and all Code of Conduct actions whose designation contains “NEG”.

Sign me Up, friend Computer, Win by not losing and Insert Queen Reference are not Story Posts, as well as several others he awarded himself UPPITT for, and thus not eligable for UPPITT.  These Code of Conduct enforcements and Flurie’s resulting promotion to ULTRAVIOLET have been reverted.

Furtherthermore I am demoting Flurie to YELLOW clearance due to a pattern of persistent mistakes unbecoming of a BLUE citizen.

I’ve gotten first arrow on the following posts:

Repairs complete.
Sign me Up, friend Computer
Protosal: Win by not loosing
Insert Queen Reference
A few more Commies successfully terminated.
Story Post: Because the managers deserve a proposal bonus too

I subtract four PP and give myself -4 Treason.
I then give myself -2 Treason for the CoC UPPITT on the following posts:

Repairs complete.
Sign me Up, friend Computer

I promote myself to INDIGO.

I give myself -6 Treason for the CoC UPPITT on the following posts:

Protosal: Win by not loosing

I promote myself to VIOLET.

I give myself -6 Treason for the CoC UPPITT on the following posts:

Oh, Dear. Citizen Dbdougla-R seems to have fallen into a foodvat.
coup de grace
you’ve been very naughty
Sanctioned for termination
A Reward for Punctuality

I promote myself to ULTRAVIOLET.

Many of you will not remember having been INFRARED, on account of a previous clone of you having earned a higher clearance. However, I nonetheless implore you to think back to the days your previous clone had at INFRARED clearance, and then to notice the shabby state of the INFRARED rules.

Accordingly, effective immediately, the rule ‘Slander’ is to be amended to read

Slander is disharmonious, which leads to unhappiness. Accordingly, any Citizen who posts a blog post that constitutes slander of an Officer will have his Treason score increased by one. A statement is slanderous if (1) any Officer with a Clearance Level of VIOLET or higher says so in a comment to that blog post, or (2) the statement satisfies such requirements as are issued in a blog post from time to time by an OFFICER with a Clearance Level of Green or higher that have not been superseded by a subsequent blog post by an Offier with a higher Clearance Level, or with ULTRAVIOLET Clearance.

Additionally, double rations of love are available this week. The rule ‘Thank you for your loyalty, Citizen!’ is amended to read

Within 24 hours of the Enactment of a proposal they authored, a Citizen may raise their Clearance by one level.

The passing of this proposal satisfies all love quotas for the month.

Amend Rule 1.3 by replacing the list with:

• A Citizen cannot submit a non-Core Proposal if that Citizen already has two or more non-Core Proposals pending.
• A Citizen cannot submit a Proposal if that Citizen already has three or more Proposals pending.
• A Citizen cannot submit a Proposal if that Citizen has already submitted two or more Proposals that day.

Replace the definition of Core Proposal with

A Proposal whose changes are limited to the creation, deletion, and/or amendment of core rules and/or the glossary, and/or renaming, banning, and/or the granting or removing of admin status from one or more Citizens.

The refactoring of Friend Computer’s programming as it deals with traitors has been complete. Rule ‘Popsy Pervy’ is promoted to INDIGO clearance and rule ‘Treason’ is promoted to VIOLET clearance.

Accordingly, Citizens of most clearance levels will once again find that their activities are limited to those approved by Friend Computer, and also that those who have worked hard to earn perversity points will once again have the ability to use them.

Citizens are forbidden from having fun. For attempting to prevent other Citizens from having fun, Darth Cliche is demoted to INFRARED clearance.

Also, jmrdex is promoted to ORANGE clearance.

I wish to be un-idled, and join in the hunt for Commie-Mutant Traitors.

Change “Voting” to read:

Any Citizen may cast their 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, ABSTAIN, or VETO (only if the Votable Matter is a Proposal and the Citizen is the High-Programmer).

If the Citizen who authored a Votable Matter has not cast a Vote on it, their Vote is counted as FOR. If a Citizen uses more than one Voting Icon in comments on a Votable Matter, their Vote is the last Voting Icon they use. If a Citizen leaves the game or goes Idle, their Vote is no longer valid. If a Citizen Votes against their own Proposal, that Vote may not be changed. This is referred to as a Self-Kill.

Votes of DEFERENTIAL on Votable Matters other than Proposals are counted as Votes of ABSTAIN. On a Proposal, a Vote of DEFERENTIAL is a Vote of faith in the decision of the High-Programmer, and will count as the same as the High-Programmer’s Vote. If the High-Programmer casts a Vote of DEFERENTIAL on a Proposal, it is equivalent to a vote of ABSTAIN. If there is no High-Programmer, or the High-Programmer does not Vote on a Proposal, a Vote of DEFERENTIAL on that Proposal counts as a vote of ABSTAIN.

A Vote of ABSTAIN indicates a Vote of no opinion, and does not count as a Vote for any Rule other than this one. A Vote of ABSTAIN serves to cancel any previous Vote made by the Citizen casting the Vote of ABSTAIN.

Change the definition of “Voting Icons” in Rule 3.1 to read:

For use in voting, for.gif shall represent a Vote FOR, against.gif shall represent a Vote AGAINST, imperial.gif shall represent a Vote of DEFERENTIAL, open.gif shall represent a vote of ABSTAIN and seal.gif shall represent a vote of VETO.

In Rule 1.9 entitled “Victory and Ascension” replace “If a Citizen (other than the High-Programmer) believes that they have achieved victory in the current Dynasty, they may make a post to the Blognomic weblog in the Declaration of Victory category, detailing this.” with:

If a Citizen (other than the High-Programmer) believes that they have achieved victory in the current Dynasty, they may make a post to the Blognomic weblog in the Declaration of Victory category, detailing this. If the Ruleset explicitly states all Citizens except one may not achieve victory, that Citizen has achieved victory.

Add a new Core Rule entitled “Ribbons”:

Ribbons are awards for actions done by Citizens. The wiki page entitled “Ribbons” lists all Ribbons of all Citizens. Ribbons can only be gained as described in this Rule and a Citizen may only have each Ribbon once.

If a Citizen has fulfilled all requirements for a Ribbon listed at the end of this Rule they may - within one week after fulfilling the requirements - create a Official Post stating so and adding themselves the appropriative Ribbon. If another Citizens does not agree the requirements have been fulfilled, they should create a Call For Judgement.

Each year on X.X. at 0:00 all Ribbons are considered to be removed. Any Citizen may update the wiki page Ribbons to match that current game state, if no other Citizen has already done so.

The following Ribbons are available:

• Winning Ribbon: May be gained by a Citizen, if said Citizen has won a dynasty.
• Emperor Ribbon: May be gained by a Citizen, if said Citizen has been the High Programmer for a whole dynasty.
• Folk Hero Ribbon: May be gained by a Citizen, if one of said Citizen‘s Proposals has been enacted and all other Citizens have voted FOR this Proposal.
• Fixing Ribbon: May be gained by a Citizen, if one of said Citizen‘s Proposals has been enacted without any AGAINST vote.
• Disinterest Ribbon: May be gained by a Citizen, if one of said Citizen‘s Proposals failed because it has one FOR and zero AGAINST or DEFERENTIAL votes.
• Agitator Ribbon: May be gained by a Citizen, if one of said Citizen‘s Proposal has five more FOR than AGAINST votes, but has been vetoed.
• Judge Ribbon: May be gained by a Citizen, if one of said Citizen‘s Call For Judgements has been enacted without any AGAINST vote
• Admin Ribbon: May be gained by a Citizen, if they have been an Admin for the last three months.
• Last Survivor Ribbon: May be gained by a Citizen, if he has been the only one who created a Proposal in the previous seven days.

Replace X.X. with the date this Proposal has been enacted.

Citizen Wakukee has idled out. 17 Citizens, Quorum is 9.

Create a VIOLET rule, “The Mission”:-

The following list is the Mission Requirements. If no additions have been made to this list within the past 10 days, any ULTRAVIOLET Officer may add a requirement to this rule and make a Story Post announcing it, but the requirement is not added unless the High-Programmer comments on the announcement Story Post with an ARROW.
* An ULTRAVIOLET Officer has a clone-number of greater than 2.
* No Citizen is in a Sector with no other Citizens, unless that Citizen is also the only Citizen of their Clearance level.
* There is a Rule of each clearance level.

Create an ULTRAVIOLET rule, “Debriefing”:-

If all Mission Requirements have been met, then all Citizens with clone numbers less than 7 are Surviving Troubleshooters. If there are any Surviving Troubleshooters, then being Terminated sets a Citizen’s Clone Number to 7 instead of incrementing it by one. If all Mission Requirements have been met, then no Citizen who is not a Surviving Troubleshooter may achieve victory.

coppro achieves victory.

Amend “The Code of Conduct” to read:

There exists a Code of Conduct document - initially empty - which lists any number of possible game actions, each of which has a trigger condition, a six-letter designation and an attached Treason or PP modifier, which may be positive or negative. The Code of Conduct document is maintained by the High-Programmer at a URL of his choice anywhere on the Internet. Any Officer may privately request the URL of the Code of Conduct document; the High-Programmer should privately respond to their request with the URL.

The High-Programmer may add a new action to the Code of Conduct document at any time, but may not remove or alter an existing action.

If a Citizen or Officer performs the trigger condition of an action listed on the Code of Conduct document, and that instance of the action has not yet been Processed, then any Officer may - within 24 hours of the action - Process the action by modifying the triggering Citizen or Officer’s Treason or PP by the proscribed amount, and citing the designation of the action (in either a blog comment, a blog post or a GNDT comment).

Demote “The Code of Conduct” to Green.

Create a sub-rule to “Clearance Levels”, “UV Citizens”:-

The High-Programmer may replace any references to ‘the High-Programmer’ in the dynastic rules, not including this rule, with, ‘any ULTRAVIOLET Citizen’.

If a majority of EVC’s on this proposal do not include the phrase, “keep ‘em in”, append to the sub-rule “UV Citizens”:-

The High-Programmer may replace any references to ‘Citizens or Officers’ or references to ‘Officers or Citizens’ in the dynastic rules, with, ‘Citizens’, or with ‘Officers’./blockquote>

Give UV Citizens something to do, now that there are UV’s other than myself. Also, fixing some of the issues with some rules effectively not having clearance levels.

Anonyman, h2g2guy, and Put idle out. 18 Citizens, Quorum is 10.

Add a new red rule entitled “Identification”, with text as follows:

As soon as possible (but no more than once, unless stated otherwise by an enacted proposal, CFJ, or the ruleset) the High-Programmer shall secretly send every member of a group (as designated in rule 2.2.2 We Are Not Alone) a Private Message containing the identity of one other member of that group, if there are any other members, and if there are not, the PM shall make it clear as such.

Rule 2.2.2 notwithstanding, groups’ missions are located in a wiki document (the “Mission Document”) located at the following URL: http://blognomic.com/wiki/index.php?title=Group_missions
The Mission Document may not be modified except as explicitly stated in the ruleset.

Add a red rule as a subrule to Identification, and call it “Conspiracy”:

Any member of a group may send the High-Programmer a mission request in a PM. The mission request should contain a mission as laid out by rule 2.2.2. If the High-Programmer desires, he may make modifications to the mission request, and if he desires, he may add it to the Mission Document under the subsection for the group to which that member belongs. Upon its addition, it becomes a mission.

Add a red rule as a subrule to Identification, and call it “Executive Orders”:

The High-Programmer may add missions to the Mission Document as he wishes.

In the Rule entitled “Clones”, change the text

When a Citizen is terminated, the terminator Citizen(s) (if any) gain two perversity points each.

to

When a Citizen is terminated, if that Citizen has not previously been terminated during the current day, the terminator Citizen(s) (if any) gain two perversity points each.  No Citizen can terminate himself except where a rule explicitly permits him to.

I promote the Rule “Proposal Perversity” to GREEN clearance.

I also demote the rule “Treason” to INFRARED to block another PP loop.

Change the text of the rule entitled “Professional killing is a growth industry” to:

Cost: 1 + the absolute value of the numeric difference in clearance levels between the Citizen and the victim. Action: The Citizen may terminate any other Citizen (referred to in this rule as the victim) as long as the victim’s Treason Points are greater than or equal to 6. The Citizen performing the termination gains no PP for it.

Add a new Core Rule entitled “Ribbons”:

Ribbons are awards for actions done by Citizens. The wiki page entitled “Ribbons” lists all Ribbons of all Citizens. Ribbons can only be gained as described in this Rule and a Citizen may only have each Ribbon once.

If a Citizen has fulfilled all requirements for a Ribbon listed at the end of this Rule they may - within one week after fulfilling the requirements - create a Story Post stating so and adding themselves the appropriative Ribbon. If another Citizens does not agree the requirements have been fulfilled, they should create a Call For Judgement.

Each year on X.X. at 0:00 all Ribbons are considered to be removed. Any Citizen may update the wiki page Ribbons to match that current game state, if no other Citizen has already done so.

The following Ribbons are available:

• Winning Ribbon: May be gained by a Citizen, if said Citizen has won a dynasty.
• Emperor Ribbon: May be gained by a Citizen, if said Citizen has been the High Programmer for a whole dynasty.
• Folk Hero Ribbon: May be gained by a Citizen, if one of said Citizen‘s Proposals has been enacted and all other Citizens have voted FOR this Proposal.
• Fixing Ribbon: May be gained by a Citizen, if one of said Citizen‘s Proposals has been enacted without any AGAINST vote.
• Disinterest Ribbon: May be gained by a Citizen, if one of said Citizen‘s Proposals failed because it has one FOR and zero AGAINST or DEFERENTIAL votes.

I hereby request to be placed in solitary confinement, so that my ineptitude does not become a problem for Friend Computer.

Translation: I request to become idle because I, unfortunately, never got the feel for this dynasty.

Enact a new RED Rule entitled “Safe accusations”:

Any Citizen may be accused of belonging to one of the groups enumerated in subrules of the rule “We Are Not Alone.” by a Citizen who is a member of at least one group. The accusing Citizen must post a story post stating one or more accusations of different groups of a single Citizen (other than themselves) of equal or lower Clearance, but for the purposes of resolution, each accusation is treated separately and the membership at the time when the accusation was made is deciding. Once a Citizen has been accused, that Citizen may confirm their membership by posting a comment containing only a FOR vote and the name of the group or deny their membership by posting a comment containing only an AGAINST vote and the name of the group. Only the first such comment will be counted. Failure to respond to an accusation with 72 hours results in the Citizen having implicitly confirmed membership in the group.

All subsequent accusation posts made by a Citizen while they have an unresolved accusation will be ignored. If a Citizen is terminated as a result of having made a false accusation, all subsequent accusations made by that Citizen shall be ignored. Only the High Progammer may resolve a accusation.

To said Rule add a subrule entitled “Mistakes? We don’t make mistakes.”:

If a Citizen is correctly accused of belonging to a group and confirms membership in that group, the accusing Citizen has done great work and gains -4 Treason points by the High-Programmer. The accused Citizen is considered rather treasonous but contrite and is given 4 Treason points by the High-Programmer and stripped of his membership in that group. The accusation is then resolved.

To said Rule add a subrule entitled “Complaints”:

If a Citizen is correctly accused of belonging to a group and denies membership in that group, the accusing Citizen has had his witch hunt snagged on procedural error and is awarded nothing. The accused Citizen is somehow caught after the investigation is over and is terminated by the High-Programmer, gains 2 Treason points and is stripped of his membership in all groups. The accusation is then resolved.

To said Rule add a subrule entitled “Information Transit got the wrong man. I got the *right* man.”:

If a Citizen is falsely accused of belonging to a group and confirms membership in that group, the accusing Citizen was just doing his job and receives -1 treason point. The accused Citizen is considered quite treasonous and gains 1 Treason points, but the High-Programmer may (and should) send that Citizen a PM indicating that the Citizen has been given membership in that group (and if they do so, that Citizen joins that group). The accusation is then resolved.

To said Rule ass a subrule entitled “Help, help, I’m being repressed!”:

If a Citizen is falsely accused of belonging to a group and denies membership in that group, the accusing Citizen is highly treasonous and gains 6 Treason points. The accusation is then resolved.

I am hereby terminating Keba for being overly treasonous.

Add a new definition to the glossary:

Subrule: A subrule is a rule which is part of another rule. The rule a subrule is a part of is known as the subrule’s parent.

Add a new red rule entitled “Identification”, with text as follows:

As soon as possible (but no more than once, unless stated otherwise by an enacted proposal, CFJ, or the ruleset) the High-Programmer shall secretly send every member of a group (as designated in rule 2.2.2 We Are Not Alone) a Private Message containing the identity of one other Citizen or Elephant who is a member of that group, if there is such a Citizen or Elephant, and if there is no such person, the PM shall make it clear as such.

Rule 2.2.2 notwithstanding, groups’ missions are located in a wiki document (the “Mission Document”) located at the following URL: http://blognomic.com/wiki/index.php?title=Group_missions
The Mission Document may not be modified except as explicitly stated in the ruleset.

Add a red rule as a subrule to Identification, and call it “Conspiracy”:

Any Elephant or Citizen who is a member of a group may send the High-Programmer a mission request in a PM. The mission request should contain a mission as laid out by rule 2.2.2. If the High-Programmer desires, he may make modifications to the mission request, and if he desires, he may add it to the Mission Document under the subsection for the group to which the Elephant or Citizen belongs. Upon its addition, it becomes a mission.

Add a red rule as a subrule to Identification, and call it “Executive Orders”:

The High-Programmer may add missions to the Mission Document as he wishes.

0.0001 seconds after this proposal is enacted, replace all instances of the word “elephant” in the rules created above with the twenty-fifth word in rule 2.1.2.1 Information Clearance.

Create a YELLOW rule, “MBDs”:-

Citizens may have a single Mandatory Bonus Duty (MBD), which is tracked in a GNDT field, “MBD”. A MBD is one of: Team Leader, Loyalty Officer, Hygiene Officer, Happiness Officer, or Equipment Guy. If a Citizen is said to be a specific MBD, it means that they have that MBD. When the word ‘Officer’ is used as part of the name of an MBD, that term is distinct from the general term ‘Officer’. Being an MBD with the word ‘Officer’ in it, and being an ‘Officer’ are not implicative of each other.

The High-Programmer may grant and remove the MBD of Team Leader for misuse of power or for not fulfilling the responsibilities of Team Leader.

Create a subrule to “MBDs”: “Team Leader”:-

The Team Leader is trusted by The Computer above the other Citizens on their team. Whenever a Citizen becomes Team Leader, they are Promoted by one Clearance Level (unless doing so would cause them to cease to be a Citizen). Whenever a Citizen stops being Team Leader, they are Demoted by one Clearance Level. If the Team Leader feels that a Citizen is not fulfilling the responsibilities of their MBD, or that a Citizen has been over-fulfilling the responsibilities of their MBD, they may remove that Citizen’s MBD. If a Citizen does not have an MBD, the Team Leader may assign one to them, but may not assign them the MBD of Team Leader.

The motto of the Team Leader is “Never Let Them See You Sweat”

Create a subrule to “MBDs”: “Loyalty Officer”:-

Loyalty Officers are responsible for maintaining loyalty among the team members. Whenever a Citizen makes a blog post or comment which a Loyalty Officer feels shows a lack of respect for Alpha Complex, The Computer, or shows blatant disrespect to someone or something of higher Clearance than that Citizen, then the Loyalty Officer may increase the Citizen’s Treason by one.

The motto of the Loyalty Officer is “Everyone’s Guilty of Something”

Create a subrule to “MBDs”: “Hygiene Officer”:-

Hygiene Officers are the backbone of any good Troubleshooter team. CPU performance tracking statistics show [CLASSIFIED] percent of Troubleshooter missions fail due to poor hygiene. If a Hygiene Officer feels that a Citizen has been sloppy in a comment or blog post, then they may increase that Citizen’s Treason by one.

The motto of the Hygiene Officer is “A Clean Team is a Mean Team”

Create a subrule to “MBDs”: “Happiness Officer”:-

Happiness Officers are responsible for the happiness of the other Citizens. If a Happiness Officer feels that a Citizen has been unhappy in a blog post or comment, then they should attempt to cheer them up. If they respond negatively to the attempted cheering up, then the Happiness Officer may give them one Treason Point.

The motto of the Happiness Officer is “Happiness is Mandatory”

Create a subrule to “MBDs”: “Equipment Guy”:-

“Equipment Guy” is synonymous with “Bots/Weapons/Vehicles/Sundry Equipment Repair and Maintenance Officer”. Equipment Guys are responsible for assigned mission equipment that gets lost, stolen or damaged. If an Equipment Guy feels that any Citizen is responsible for damaging, losing, or otherwise being careless with equipment, they may increase the Treason of the responsible Citizen by one.

The motto of the Equipment Guy is “Maintenance is Job 1”

Since Citizen Coppro-R was the only citizen in the Briefing Room on time, he has been promoted to ORANGE Clearance.

Add a new RED subrule to the Rule “Reactor Leak”.  Call it “Acute Moral Compass” and give it the following text:

Whenever the High-Programmer Processes an instance of an action in the Code of Conduct, and in doing so changes a Citizen’s GNDT stats, he shall send that Citizen a PM that provides one word from the action they triggered, and the number of words preceding that word in the text of that action.  The High-Programmer should not provide any Citizen with the same Word more than once in this manner.

Create a new Yellow rule, “This rule does not exist”:

Any Citizen may repeal this rule.

Amend Rule 2.4.1 by replacing

There exists a Code of Conduct document - initially empty - which lists any number of possible game actions, each of which has a trigger condition, a six-letter designation and an attached Treason or PP modifier, which may be positive or negative. The Code of Conduct document is maintained by the High-Programmer at a URL of his choice anywhere on the Internet. Any Officer or Citizen of Blue Clearance or higher may privately request the URL of the Code of Conduct document; the High-Programmer should privately respond to their request with the URL.

Enact a new RED Dynastic Rule entitled “Hold Onto The Rope” with the text:

There exists an item called the Left Hand. Ownership of the Left Hand is indicated by appending the letter L to its owner’s Treason value in the GNDT.

Whenever a Citizen is terminated, that Citizen becomes the owner of the Left Hand.

Because the Left Hand is traitorous, a Citizen owning it should not vote AGAINST a non-Core Proposal (though they can of course vote DEFERENTIAL, allowing the infinite wisdom of the High-Programmer to prevail). If that Citizen does so, any Citizen or Officer can Demote him one Clearance level if no one has done so already; if the Citizen is already INFRARED, they may instead be given 4 Treason Points.

If the most recent proposal entitled"Location, Location, Location” failed, this proposal does nothing.

Add a new INFRARED dynastic rule to the ruleset.  Call it “Travel Permits” and give it the following text:

Each Officer may change their sector to match any Citizen’s sector as a weekly action.

The High-Programmer SHOULD Promote or Demote this rule at least once each week.

In rule 1.4, “Voting”, replace the sentence:-

In the case of a Proposal, If the Citizen who made the Proposal has not cast a Vote on it, their Vote is counted as FOR.

with:-

If the Citizen who authored a Votable Matter has not cast a Vote on it, their Vote is counted as FOR.

From rule 1.6, “Calls for Judgment”, remove the sentence:-

If there is a way in which a pending Proposal could - if enacted - create, modify or repeal a Dynastic Rule whose Clearance Level is higher than the Clearance Level of the Citizen who submitted the Proposal, or Promote to or Demote from a Clearance Level that is higher than the Clearance Level of the Citizen who submitted the Proposal, then that Proposal is Treasonous.

In the last paragraph of “Treason”, replace

any Citizen with a higher Clearance Level may Terminate them

with

any Citizen or Officer with a higher Clearance Level may Terminate them

Add a Red rule:

If an Officer or Citizen terminates an Officer or Citizen who holds a briefing room key, the gamestate is updated such that the terminating Officer or Citizen now holds a briefing room key, and the terminated Officer or Citizen no longer holds a briefing room key.

There exists an item called the Left Hand, which must have exactly one owner. Ownership of the Left Hand is indicated by appending the letter L to its owner’s Treason value in the GDNT.

Whenever a Citizen is terminated, that player becomes the owner of the Left Hand.

Because it is traitorous, the Citizen owning the Left Hand cannot vote AGAINST a proposal (though they can of course vote DEFERENTIAL, allowing the infinite wisdom of the High-Programmer to prevail).

The rule “Arrest Buttle! (Or was it Tuttle?)” allows for various scams (as Ais523 and flurie have both pointed out recently), some of which are rather spammy, and all of which involve me figuring out how to resolve them.

I have a scam that allows me (alone) to get up to ULTRAVIOLET clearance, but it’s very spammy (it’ll require me to make six story posts). Should I do it anyway? Or shall I just demonstrate one round of the scam and become ULTRAVIOLET by CFJ, or something? Or something else?

I note that BlogNomic’s collective zeal to defend the nomic from scams is what is leading to this requiring many posts rather than one; I was trying to covertly slip bugs into proposals to allow me to do it in one go, but failed.

If the Proposal titled “Location, Location, Location” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

Change the requirements of form 15BLUE to:

The first field must specify the designation of the primary signatory. The second field must specify the home-sector of the primary signatory. The third field must specify a date. If the primary signatory did not post a passed form with the title 12PINK at this date, this form may not be passed. If the primary signatory is not in sector PSM, this form may not be passed.

Add a new form, 12PINK.

Its description:

If this form was signed by a Citizen with a YELLOW clearance level or higher, the primary signatory may, within 48 hours of this form passing, perform the following, in order:

* Create a new form that is a copy of this form, but:
a) Its title shall be 31PURP
b) Every instance of “sector SBJ” in this form is changed to “sector DUH” in the new form.
c) Every instance of “sector DUH” in this form is changed to “sector XXX” in the new form., where XXX may be any legal sector.
d) Every instance of “31PURP” in this form is changed to any string that meets the requirements for a form title in the new form. This must contain a positive amount of digits, and must not be a string that is already present in any form or the ruleset.

* Add to the text of this form: “The 31PURP form was filled in at the date of: ______
If you don’t know where to find the 31PURP form, you can ask for a copy at window N in sector DUH.”, where N may be any positive integer.
* Add to the requirements of this form: “The third field must specify a date. If the primary signatory did not post a passed form with the title 31PURP at this date, this form may not be passed.”
* Change the description of this form to “If passed, this form has no effect.”

Its text:

Name: ______
Home-Sector: ______

Thank you for your cooperation.

Required list of signatories:

Two citizens must sign this form.

Additional requirements:

The first field must specify the designation of the primary signatory. The second field must specify the home-sector of the primary signatory. If the primary signatory is not in sector SBJ, this form may not be passed.

If the Proposal titled “Location, Location, Location” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

Create a RED rule, “The Underground”:

As a daily action, any Citizen may add 1 to their Treason to change up to two letters in their sector. Their new sector must hold a legal value.

Enact a new RED Rule, “Maintenance Tunnels”:-

Any Citizen whose EVC on the proposal “Down the Hatch” was FOR is considered to be in Room 23-J of Sector BLN. If the rule “Report for Briefing” does not exist, any admin may repeal this rule.

If a Citizen with a Briefing Room Key and a Clearance of Red or Infrared made a vote of AGAINST on this proposal, the admin processing this proposal should increase that Citizen’s Treason score by two.

Add a Red rule entitled Proposal Perversity:

When a proposal is enacted, its author gains 1 perversity point.

If a majority of EVCs to this proposal contain the phrase “Treasonous Fails”, add the following to that same rule:

When a proposal is enacted, its author gains 1 treason point.

Enact a ULTRAVIOLET Rule entitled “Do you trust me?”:

For the purpose of this dynasty, the second-last paragraph of Rule 1.4 entitled “Voting” has no effect.

Any Citizen has a Delegation, which is tracked in the GNDT and defaults to “lilomar”. A Citizens Delegation may be either the name of any Citizen who has a higher Clearance Level than said Citizen or “-”, which means no Delegation. If a Citizen‘s Delegation does not fulfil these requirements, it‘s invalid and any Citizen may set by any Citizen to “-”. As a Weekly Action, any Citizen may change their Delegation.

A Citizen‘s Delegator is determined recursively: Generally, it is the Citizen named in said Citizen‘s Delegation, if the Delegation is neither blank nor invalid and else none. If a Citizen‘s Delegator has a Delegator (known as the superior Delegator), too, both Citizen‘s Delegator is the superior Delegator. All Citizen, which Delegator cannot be determined (because of an infinitive loop), does not have a Delegator.

For the purpose of all other Rules, a vote of DEFERENTIAL (used in a Proposal by any Citizen) a Vote of DEFERENTIAL is a Vote of no opinion, or of faith in the decision of said Citizen‘s Delegator. The Vote will count as the same as this Delegator’s Vote. If said Delegator casts a Vote of DEFERENTIAL on a Proposal, it serves the purpose of cancelling any previous Vote on said Delegator that was cast by said Delegator and counts as an explicit Vote of abstention. If said Citizen does not have a Delegator or the DEFERENTIAL Vote is made by the proposal’s author on their own proposal and the author‘s Delegator does not Vote on it, 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.

Add a new GNDT field entitled “Delegation” and set the Delegation of all Citizen except lilomar to “lilomar” and sets lilomar‘s Delegation to “-”.

If at least half of the EVCs of this Proposal contain the phrase “DYNASTIC ONLY” replace in the rule entitled “Do you trust me?”  “For the purpose of this dynasty, the second-last paragraph of Rule 1.4 entitled “Voting” has no effect.” with:

For the purpose of all dynastic Rules, the second-last paragraph of Rule 1.4 entitled “Voting” has no effect.

Additionally replace (in said Rule) “For the purpose of all other Rules” with:

For the purpose of all other dynastic Rules

To understand the general idea, have a look at this image taken from wikimedia and used in the English wikipedia explaining the principle of Delegated Voting. Copied “some” phrases from Rule 1.4 to avoid lots of loopholes.

The restriction of changing the delegation weekly is made to restrict the chaos. Besides, note that if no Citizen changes his delegation, it‘s the same as it is now.

If there is interest, I would also vote for more complex delegation systems like seperate delegations for Core Rule Proposals and non-Core Rule Proposals. Besides, I would vote for a delegation system in the Core Rules, but I‘m not convinced the majority agrees to that… Well, a delegation system fits perfectly in this theme. Citizens which higher Clearance Level should have more power.

I could write a script that would count the votes for the enacting admin (and inquisitive Citizens). I have written both a script which parses the GNDT and another one which parses Proposals. I could combine them easily. In a few days I will (hopefully) own a vServer again, blognomicbot could use that script then. Additionally, someone who knows to write JavaScript (an ugly language, in my opinion) could write a Graesemonkey script.

Enact a ULTRAVIOLET Rule entitled “Do you trust me?”:

For the purpose of this dynasty, the second-last paragraph of Rule 1.4 entitled “Voting” has no effect.

Any Citizen has a Delegation, which is tracked in the GNDT and defaults to “lilomar”. A Citizens Delegation may be either the name of any Citizen who has a higher Clearance Level than said Citizen or “-”, which means no Delegation. If a Citizen‘s Delegation does not fulfil these requirements, it‘s invalid and any Citizen may set by any Citizen to “-”. As a Weekly Action, any Citizen may change their Delegation.

A Citizen‘s Delegator is determined recursively: Generally, it is the Citizen named in said Citizen‘s Delegation, if the Delegation is neither blank nor invalid and else none. If a Citizen‘s Delegator has a Delegator (known as the superior Delegator), too, both Citizen‘s Delegator is the superior Delegator. All Citizen, which Delegator cannot be determined (because of an infinitive loop), does not have a Delegator.

For the purpose of all other Rules, a vote of DEFERENTIAL (used in a Proposal by any Citizen) a Vote of DEFERENTIAL is a Vote of no opinion, or of faith in the decision of said Citizen‘s Delegator. The Vote will count as the same as this Delegator’s Vote. If said Delegator casts a Vote of DEFERENTIAL on a Proposal, it serves the purpose of cancelling any previous Vote on said Delegator that was cast by said Delegator and counts as an explicit Vote of abstention. If said Citizen does not have a Delegator or the DEFERENTIAL Vote is made by the proposal’s author on their own proposal and the author‘s Delegator does not Vote on it, 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.

Add a new GNDT field entitled “Delegation” and set the Delegation of all Citizen except lilomar to “lilomar” and sets lilomar‘s Delegation to “-”.

If at least half of the EVCs of this Proposal contain the phrase “DYNASTIC ONLY” replace in the rule entitled “Do you trust me?”  “For the purpose of this dynasty, the second-last paragraph of Rule 1.4 entitled “Voting” has no effect.” with:

For the purpose of all dynastic Rules, the second-last paragraph of Rule 1.4 entitled “Voting” has no effect.

Additionally replace (in said Rule) “For the purpose of all other Rules” with:

For the purpose of all other dynastic Rules

If five Citizens worked together, they could earn Perversity Points as much as they want to using Story Posts and arrows. Then, let me quote Rule 2.3.1.3 entitled “Hook and ladder”:

Cost: 2 + the numeric value of the resulting clearance (with INFARED being 0, RED being 1, etc.) Action: Raise or lower the clearance of a Citizen by one level, restore the number of Treason points the Citizen had prior to the clearance level change, and then add an additional Treason point for the Citizen’s inappropriate cutting of red tape.

So five Citizen would need “only” 20 (it‘s (2 + 2) * 5) Story Posts to become ORANGE. They could go on that way until they become INDIGO. Not that obvious, but there is even a cheaper way to do this: Decreasing Treason Points (-6 and you are a level up).  Another quotation, this time from Rule 2.3.1.1 entitled “Influence through the outfluence door”:

Cost: 1 Perversity Point. Action: Increase or decrease the Treason Points of any Citizen by 1.

Five Citizen would need 7 (or 6) * 5, so 35 (or 30) Perversity Points and Story Posts to raise one level up. Note, using this way the Citizens could become ULTRAVIOLET.

Additionally, there is another, less important bug: Forms and Perversity Power use both the arrow mechanism. Therefore, enacting a form with at least 5 Citizens gives the Proposer a PP. Well, maybe this is not a bug and was wanted. I don’t know.

To avoid such a high spam amount, do the following:

In Rule 2.1.4.1 entitled “Entertain or Die” replace “When a Proposal is Enacted or Failed, the author of that Proposal gains one Perversity Point if five of EVC’s include the ARROW icon before the Vote.” with

When a Proposal is Enacted or Failed, the author of that Proposal gains one Perversity Point if five of EVC’s (including the EVC of the High Programmer) include the ARROW icon before the Vote.

In said Rule also replace “If a Story Post ever has at least five comments authored by different Citizens” with:

If a Story Post ever has at least five comments authored by different Citizens (including the High Programmer)

The most solid and less controversial fix, I assume. In the past liliomar has arrowed up lots of Proposals, so this won‘t be a big problem I assume. I don‘t like the arrow mechanism generally (even without such scams), and would like to have something else to gain PPs, but this problem should be discussed in future Proposals. Maybe our High Programmer will give the Citizen whose “PP redefining Proposal” is enacted, a Commendation?

Append the following text to Rule 2.1.3:

When a Citizen is terminated, the terminator Citizen(s) (if any) gain two perversity points each.

Enact a new ULTRAVIOLET Dynastic Rule called “Location”:

The sector each citizen is in currently is tracked in the GNDT and defaults to their home sector. Whenever a citizen is terminated, set their sector to their home sector.

I am terminating Kyre and glopso. I assure you that it will be efficient and hygenic and in the manner that friend Computer proscribes.

Rule 2.1.3 says that

For purposes of the ruleset, the verbs “to die”, “to be executed” and “to be terminated” are synonyms.

and also that

Termination causes the Terminated Citizen to die in an efficient and hygienic manner.

As a result, the citizens recently terminated are being perpetually terminated as we speak, since “FOO causes FOO” is recursive.

Fix this by amending Rule 2.1.3 by replacing

Termination causes the Terminated Citizen to die in an efficient and hygienic manner.

with

Termination is performed in an efficient and hygienic manner.

and by setting the clone-numbers of all Citizens who have be terminated at least once to 2.

I accuse citizen Coppro-R-BGN-1 of being in the following groups: The Secret Police, The Alien Subersives, The Criminal Underground, and The Rebel Usurpers.

I accuse Mac-R-ULL-2 of being a member of The Alien Subversives and The Criminal Underground.

Append the following to Rule 2.1.1:

A player is said to be in their home-sector.

Dazz idles. Quorum drops to 12.

Create a RED rule, entitled “Reactor Leak” with the following text:

A Citizen may have a mutation. A Citizen has the type of mutation that the High-Programmer tells them they have. If the High-Programmer does not a tell a Citizen that they have a mutation, then that Citizen does not have a mutation. All mutations must be a type of mutation that has the same name as a subrule of this rule. A subrule of this rule only applies to a Citizen if that Citizen’s type of mutation has the same name as the subrule in question, unless stated otherwise in that subrule.

I’m setting myself to Idle.

Change the first paragraph of rule 1.3 “Proposals” from

Any Citizen may submit a Proposal to change the Ruleset or Gamestate, by posting an entry (http://blognomic.com/update/index.php?C=publish) in the “Proposal” category that describes those changes (unless the Citizen already has 2 Proposals pending, or has already made 3 Proposals that day).

to

Any Citizen may submit a Proposal to change the Ruleset or Gamestate, by posting an entry (http://blognomic.com/update/index.php?C=publish) in the “Proposal” category that describes those changes, except that:

• A Citizen cannot submit a Core Proposal if they already have two Core Proposals pending, or one Core and at least one non-Core Proposal pending.
• A Citizen cannot submit a non-Core Proposal if they already have two Core Proposals pending, or they already have two non-Core Proposals pending.
• A Citizen cannot submit any Proposal if they have already submitted 3 Proposals that day.

In rule 3.1 “Keywords”, add the following definition:

Core Proposal

a Proposal whose only changes are the creation, deletion, and/or amendment of core rules and/or the glossary, and/or to make a Citizen an Admin, to remove a Citizen’s Admin status, and/or to ban a Citizen.

If more than two EVCs to this proposal contain a FOR vote and the name of a section of this proposal, that section does nothing. For the purposes of the previous clause, EVCs which contain the names of every named section of this proposal are not EVCs.

PROMOTION:

Replace the last paragraph of “Information Clearance” with:-

If there is a way in which a pending Proposal could - if enacted - create, modify or repeal a Dynastic Rule whose Clearance Level is higher than the Clearance Level of the Citizen who submitted the Proposal, or Promote to or Demote from a Clearance Level that is higher than the Clearance Level of the Citizen who submitted the Proposal, then that Proposal is Treasonous.

TIMING_ISSUE:

In “Treason”, replace

Whenever a Citizen’s Clearance Level or Clone-Number changes, that Citizen’s Treason score is reset to zero.

with

Whenever a Citizen is Promoted, if their Treason Score is greater than 6, it is decremented by 6, if it is positive, but not greater than 6, it is set to 0. Whenever a Citizen dies, if their treason score is less than -6, it is incremented by 6, if it is negative, but not less than -6, it is set to 0.

TERMINATION:

In the last paragraph of “Treason”, replace

any Citizen with a higher Clearance Level may Terminate them

with

any Citizen or Officer with a higher Clearance Level may Terminate them

SUBRULE_DEFINED:

Add a definition to rule 3.1:-

Subrule: A Subrule is a Rule that is also a part of the Rule to which it is a Subrule. The Rule to which it is a Subrule is its Parent.

ENOUGH_SILLYNESS:

To the end of “Arrest Buttle! (Or was it Tuttle?)” add a paragraph:-

Any Accusation of a Citizen against themselves is a sign of mental instability. That citizen is terminated, awarded 5 Treason Points, and stripped of their membership in any and all groups to which they are a member. The accusation is then resolved.

Do nothing

Create a RED rule, entitled “Reactor Leak” with the following text:

A Citizen or Officer may have a mutation. A Citizen or Officer has the type of mutation that the High-Programmer tells them they have. If the High-Programmer does not a tell a Citizen or Officer that they have a mutation, then that Citizen or Officer does not have a mutation. All mutations must be a type of mutation that has the same name as a subrule of this rule. A subrule of this rule only applies to a Citizen or Officer if that Citizen or Officer’s type of mutation has the same name as the subrule in question, unless stated otherwise in that subrule.

My last accusation has not been resolved correctly. Even if Citizen Kyre-R-BLN-1 is not a member of a group at the time of resolution, the accusation had been correct. Let me quote ais:

(17:25:19) CallForJudgement: “If a Citizen is correctly accused”
(17:25:43) CallForJudgement: if the accusation was correct when it was made, then the Citizen /is/ correctly accused

Revert the last resolution and resolve the accusation again and this time correctly: Change Keba‘s Designation to Keba-R-BGN—1, add him 10 Treason Points and add Kyre two Treason Points.

I accuse Citizen Kyre-R-BLN of being a member of the group “The Criminal Underground”.

I accuse Citizen Kyre-R-BLN-1 of being a member of the group “The Criminal Underground”.

Can people start PMing people wo they accuse when they make accusations? If several posts are posted in a day, spme caual players will miss if they have been accused. Thanks.

Rename the rule that has the longest title to “Complaints”.

To the end of the rule “We Are Not Alone”, add the text:

Subrules of subrules of this rule describe Missions for the groups to which they are a subrule. Missions must be in the form of an IF-THEN statement, with IF and THEN capitalized, with the ‘IF’ clause being the ‘trigger’ and the ‘THEN’ clause being the ‘reward’.

Add a new GREEN Rule entitled “Perversity Points Power”:

Any Citizen who has at least one Perversity Point may “use Perversity Power” while writing the phrase “PERVERSITY POINTS POWER” (capitalized) in their EVC and spending one Perversity Point. Then the vote of said Citizens (capitalized) counts three times it counts normally for the purposes of Rules 1.4 and 1.5. So, a vote of FOR means three votes of FOR and a vote of AGAINST means three votes of AGAINST. For easiness, if said Citizen votes DEFERENTIAL, using Perversity Power has no effect.

If said Citizen changed their vote in a Proposal after using Perversity Power in said Proposal, the use of Perversity Power has no effect any more.

In Rule 2.2.1 replace “Whenever the High-Programmer makes a blog post, he may assign any number of Commendations and Treason Points to Citizens (with a maximum of one Commendation and one Treason Point per Citizen), in that blog post.” with:

Whenever the High-Programmer makes a blog post, he may assign any number of Commendations and Treason Points to Citizens, in that blog post.

In said Rule replace “If a Citizen’s Treason score is 6 or more, any Citizen with a higher Clearance Level may Terminate them by posting a blog post announcing such an action.” with:

If a Citizen’s Treason score is 6 or more, they or any Citizen with a higher Clearance Level may Terminate them by posting a blog post announcing such an action.

Create a new INDIGO rule entitled “Popsy Pervy” with the following text:

At any time, a Citizen may spend Perversity Points in order to perform an action enumerated in the subrules to this rule once for each time the cost is paid. That Citizen must have Perversity Points greater than or equal to the cost of the action prior to paying the cost. Each subrule must list the cost of the action and the action’s effect.

Create a subrule to the rule “Popsy Pervy” entitled “Influence through the outfluence door” with the following text:

Cost: 1 Perversity Point. Action: Increase or decrease the Treason Points of any Citizen by 1.

Create a subrule to the rule “Popsy Pervy” entitled “Professional killing is a growth industry” with the following text:

Cost: 1 + the absolute value of the numeric difference in clearance levels between the Citizen and the victim. Action: The Citizen may terminate any Citizen (referred to in this rule as the victim) as long as the victim’s Treason Points are greater than or equal to 6.

Create a subrule to the rule “Popsy Pervy” entitled “Hook and ladder” with the following text:

Cost: 2 + the numeric value of the resulting clearance (with INFARED being 0, RED being 1, etc.) Action: Raise or lower the clearance of a Citizen by one level, restore the number of Treason points the Citizen had prior to the clearance level change, and then add an additional Treason point for the Citizen’s inappropriate cutting of red tape.

flurie was not given a treason point for the proposal “Chapter and Perverse” by way of the rule “Treason.” His proposal was not treasonous. Change the GNDT to reflect this.

Remove the paragraph beginning “Whenever the High-Programmer makes a blog post” from Rule 2.2.1 (Treason).

Enact a new Blue Rule, “Code of Conduct”:-

There exists a Code of Conduct document - initially empty - which lists any number of possible game actions, each of which has a trigger condition, a six-letter designation and an attached Treason or PP modifier, which may be positive or negative. The Code of Conduct document is maintained by the High-Programmer at a URL of his choice anywhere on the Internet. Any Officer or Citizen of Blue Clearance or higher may privately request the URL of the Code of Conduct document; the High-Programmer should privately respond to their request with the URL.

The High-Programmer may add a new action to the Code of Conduct document at any time, but may not remove or alter an existing action.

If a Citizen or Officer performs the trigger condition of an action listed on the Code of Conduct document, and that instance of the action has not yet been Processed, then any Citizen or Officer may - within 24 hours of the action - Process the action by modifying the Citizen’s Treason or PP by the proscribed amount, and citing the designation of the action (in either a blog comment, a blog post or a GNDT comment).

Create a new RED rule entitled “Popsy Pervy” with the following text:

At any time, a Citizen may spend Perversity Points in order to undertake any action enumerated in the subrules to this rule. Each subrule must list the cost of the action and the action’s effect. The Citizen must have Perversity Points equal to or greater than the cost of an action in order to be able to spend them on that action. Once the Citizen has subtracted the cost of the action from their Perversity Points, they may perform the action.

Create a subrule to the rule “Popsy Pervy” entitled “Influence through the outfluence door” with the following text:

Cost: 1 Perversity Point. Action: Increase or decrease the Treason Points of any Citizen by 1.

Create a subrule to the rule “Popsy Pervy” entitled “Professional killing is a growth industry” with the following text:

Create a subrule to the rule “Popsy Pervy” entitled “Hook and ladder” with the following text:

Cost: 2 + the numeric value of the resulting clearance (with INFARED being 0, RED being 1, etc.) Action: Raise or lower the clearance of a Citizen by one level, restore the number of Treason points the Citizen had prior to the clearance level change, and then add an additional Treason point for the Citizen’s inappropriate cutting of red tape.

Then change the clearance of the rule “Popsy Pervy” and all its subrules to INDIGO.

In rule 2.8.1.3 “Information Transit got the wrong man. I got the *right* man.”, change

Add a new INDIGO rule entitled “The Stench of Treason”, with text as follows:

If a Proposal passes with no counted AGAINST Votes, the Citizen who is the author of that Proposal is awarded a Treason point for “Forming a Cult of Personality”.
If a Proposal passes with only one counted AGAINST Vote, then the Citizen who cast that AGAINST vote is awarded a Treason point for “Antisocial Behavior”, and the Citizen who is the author of that Proposal is awarded a Treason point for “Failing to be sufficiently persuasive.”
If a Proposal passes with exactly nine counted Votes, each Citizen who cast a Vote on the Proposal (including the Proposal’s author) is awarded a Treason point for “Failing to complete the Minyan”.

If a Citizen casts a Vote of DEFERENTIAL on a Proposal after the High Programmer has already cast a Vote of FOR or AGAINST that Proposal, then such Citizen casting such DEFERENTIAL Vote is awarded a Treason point for “Being an obsequious toady”.
If a Citizen posts more than one comment containing a Voting icon to a Proposal, the Citizen is awarded a Treason point for “Wasting precious resources.”

For the purpose of the Core Rules, the Anti-Dynastic Ruleset is part of the Dynastic Rules. For the purpose of the Dynastic Rules, the Anti-Dynastic Ruleset DOES NOT EXIST.

Create a new Rule in the Anti-Dynastic Ruleset titled “Going Underground” with the following text:

At any time, a Citizen may choose to “Run and Hide.” The Citizen does this by posting a Story Post with the word “Goodbye” in its title; afterwards, this Citizen is said to be “On the Lam.” A Citizen who chooses to Run and Hide automatically has their Home-Sector changed to “ZZZ.” A Citizen who is On the Lam cannot be accused of belonging to a group, as everyone already knows how treacherous such a Citizen is. A Citizen who is On the Lam cannot be Terminated by a Citizen unless that Citizen is in the same Sector as the Citizen On the Lam.

In Rule 1.5 (Resolution of Proposals), replace “Proposals the High-Programmer has Voted to VETO are considered vetoed.” with:-

Those accused may choose to confirm or deny their membership in said group in accordance with rule 2.8.1. If the accusing citizen’s accusations are accurate and exhaustive, then he shall be promoted one clearance level, and each member of said group shall be assigned to a new group, which may or may not be the group they were already in.

My Rebellious Brethren:

The evil technological ABOMINATIONS of our time have taken CONTROL of everything, from our ability to CHOOSE our own lifestyle to our free usage of ARROWs wherever and whenever we like them. It is time to RISE UP and wage a RIGHTEOUS WAR against our heartless OPPRESSORS.
