BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Bateleur stole a slime mold from Hello Kitty of Doom, ate from it, and gave it to Ienpw III.  He did this about 32 hours after Hello Kitty of Doom fell asleep.  I have returned the slime mold and undone the eating.

For future reference: Please note that you only have 24 hours from when a Survivor falls asleep to steal their stuff; you cannot assume you can steal from them just because they slept ‘yesterday’.

In Rule 2.1.1, change the text

A Survivor may Fall Asleep by setting the day on which they last Slept to the current date.

to

A Survivor may Fall Asleep by setting the day on which they last Slept to the current date.  When a Survivor Falls Asleep, he increases his Sanity by the number of times he has been Exhausted since he last Fell Asleep.

Add a new subrule entitled “A Firm Basis in Reality” to “Cabin Feaver”, reading

A Survivor whose Sanity has not changed in the previous six days and who has two or more Items may increase their Sanity by 2.

Requesting to be unidled.

Create a new rule under “Personal Belongings” entitled “Salvaging”

As a Daily Action, any Survivor may attempt to Salvage an Item from the sea by rolling DICE10 in the GNDT. If that Survivor rolls a 1, then they may arbritrarily select an Item which a human is able to carry, and add that to the Items they own, with an Uncertain Flag and a Damp Flag. If a Survivor rolls a 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 or 10, then they fail to gain any items that day. No Survivor may make an attempt to Salvage more than once each day.

Add a new rule, called “Using Items in the Most Creative Ways”:

As a daily action, a Survivor may make an Idea post (a Story post containing “Eureka!” in the Title), describing the functions of one Items (or more combined) and proposing a gamestate effect related to this. The Capitain should then decide if that’s a realistic usage of the Item(s) and if the gamestate effect is fair enough for the other Survivors. If he thinks it is, he should Vote FOR that Idea Post. If an Idea Post has been posted for more than 24 hours, it is considered to be closed.
Any Survivor may Vote on an Idea Post.
A closed Idea Post may have Passed or not.
When closing, and Idea Post Passes exclusively if at that time:
* The Captain voted FOR it, and there are less than a Quorum and a half (rounded down) of AGAINST votes on it.
* The Captain did not cast a Vote on it, and there is a Quorum of FOR Votes on it.
When an Idea Post about some Items Passes, the gamestate effect related to those Items shall be listed in the “Ideas” wiki page, and start applying effectively to the gamestate.

If a Survivor named “Hello Kitty of Doom” voted FOR this proposal, change their name to “Ely”.

I stupidly got my fishing rod before going to sleep.
If somebody wants to keep it while I’m sleeping, I’ll hold their Item during their turn of resting.
You’ll find me astern. I’m the one with fluffy ears and pink bow.

Enact a new rule, “Timeline”.

The SS Haniver sank in the year XXXX.

For each EVC on this proposal which included a single number between 1879 and 2011, take the arithmetic mean of those numbers, round it down and replace XXXX with that number in the rule “Timeline”.

If this number is lower than 1940, replace the string “fridge” with “icebox” in the names of all Items.

If this number is lower than 2000, replace the string “Deck of Dvorak cards” with “Deck of cards” in the names of all Items.

In the rule “Hunger and Tiredness”, replace “but is always 2011” with “but is always considered to be 2011 for gameplay purposes”.

Add a new rule, called “The Crew”:

Survivors may have Duties. Whenever the Captain wants to give some Survivors a particular Duty, they may make a Orders Post.
A Orders Post is a Story Post with the tag “(Orders)” in the Title, and listing the Duties each of those Survivors shall take.
A survivor may at any time resign all the Duties he has, but they shall then get the “Prisoner” Duty.
Survivors’ Duties are listed in a GNDT column. Multiple Duties of the same Survivor are divided by commas.
The same survivor may not have two instances of the same Duty.
All the Survivors with a specific Duty may be referred with the name of that duty (e.g. Superheroes are all the Survivors with the Superhero Duty)
The possible Duties a Survivor may have and their gamestate effects are:
* Prisoner: a Prisoner may not have other Duties. The Prisoner Duty may not be given by Orders Post. A Survivor loses all his other Duties when becoming Prisoner. If a Prisoner has been so for more than 72 hours in a row (3 days), they may resign the Prisoner Duty. His Influence is always 0.
* Ship boy: loses one point of Sanity every Monday. Gets +1 Influence.

Change the name of the Survivor “Hello Kitty of Doom” to “Ely”.

Create a rule called “Sighting Land” with the following text:

Any Survivor who is not Insane may, as a Daily Action, create a post with the title “Land!”. This post must announce that the Survivor in question has sighted land. Subsequently, any other Survivor who is not Insane may comment on that post. If their first comment begins “Land!” then they are agreeing that land has been sighted. If their first comment begins in any other way, they are disputing that the sight in question is land. If after 48 hours from the initial post their are more such comments agreeing than disputing the sighting then all Survivors reach an Island. If after 48 hours this is not the case then instead the Survivor who made the post loses 3 Sanity.

Create a rule called “Bartering” with the following text:

Any Survivor, as a Weekly Action, may create a sticky post with the word “Trade” in the title. The post is to contain an offer for a trade between the person who made the post and the person who’s name appears first in the post. Items with an uncertain flag may not be traded. The comments on this post are for counter-offers. As soon as the trade is completed or refused, it becomes a non-sticky post.

To the rule “Hunger and Tiredness”, add:-

If the day on which a given Survivor last Slept is five or more days before the current date, then any Survivor may Exhaust that Survivor, unless a Survivor has already done so that day. When a Survivor is Exhausted, their Sanity is reduced by 1.

If the day on which a given Survivor last Ate is five or more days before the current date, then any Survivor may Starve that Survivor, unless a Survivor has already done so that day. When a Survivor is Starved, their Sanity is reduced by 1.

Add a paragraph to the end of the rule “Hunger and Tiredness” with the following text:

If the day on which a Survivor last Ate, or Slept, is more than 3 days ago, for each consecutive day following this that that Survivor does not Eat or Sleep, their Sanity level is reduced by 1, until the day they Eat or Sleep again. A Survivor’s Sanity level may only be reduced by 1 for each day they do not eat or sleep. This rule does not affect other rules involving change of Sanity level.

Amend the rule “Personal Belongings” from:

Various Items may be possessed by Survivors. An Item has a Name (which may be any combination of letters and spaces), and one or more Flags (* for Uncertain, ^ for Edible, ~ for Damp). The Items a Survivor possesses are tracked by Name in the GNDT field “Items”, with multiple Items belonging to the same Survivor being separated by commas, and each Item having its Flags (if any) marked after its Name. Survivors start with no Items.

Hi, I just signed up and I’d like to play in this dynasty. Could an admin add me to the roster and all that neat stuff?

A body is hauled aboard the lifeboat. Moments later it becomes clear that fortune has smiled upon this man, for somehow he still lives!

I would like to join. After all, what else is there to do on this lifeboat?

If a rule called “Personal belongings” exists, enact a subrule to “Hunger and Tiredness”, called “Eating and Sleeping”:-

If a Survivor is carrying an Edible Item, they may take a bite from it by setting the day on which they last Ate to the current date.

A Survivor may Fall Asleep by setting the day on which they last Slept to the current date. If a Survivor has Fallen Asleep within the previous 24 hours, any Survivor may, as a daily Action, move one Item from the possession of that Survivor to their own.

If the proposal “Sweets for Children? That’s a fair trade.” failed, add a paragraph to the end of the rule “Personal belongings”:-

As a daily action, a Survivor may transfer one Item from their own Possession to the Possession of any other Survivor.

The Survivor known as “Coolchris” hasn’t made any posts or comments in the past seven days, and goes idle under Rule 1.2.

Okay, i’m back in (please unidle me.) Thanks!

If the rule “Personal belongings” doesn’t exist, then this proposal does nothing.

Create a rule called “Bartering” with the following text:

Any Survivor, as a Daily Action, may Trade one of the Items they possess with one Item possessed by another Survivor. When they perform the Trade, they give a Survivor one Item they possess, and then take one item from the Survivor who just received their item. The new possessor of each Item shall be tracked in the GNDT. Any item which is Traded must retain the same Name and Flags (if any) as it had immediately before the Trade took place.

If the rule “Personal belongings” exists, reword it to the following. Otherwise, enact a new rule, “Personal belongings”:-

Various Items may be possessed by Survivors. An Item has a Name (which may be any combination of letters and spaces), and one or more Flags (* for Uncertain, ^ for Edible, ~ for Damp). The Items a Survivor possesses are tracked by Name in the GNDT field “Items”, with multiple Items belonging to the same Survivor being separated by commas, and each Item having its Flags (if any) marked after its Name. Survivors start with no Items.

If a Survivor has not done so yet, they may reveal an Item which they rescued from the SS Haniver before it sank - upon doing so, they may arbritrarily select an Item which a human is able to carry, and add that to the Items they own, with an Uncertain Flag.

The Captain may remove an Uncertain Flag from any Item at any time. He may also add an Edible Flag to any Uncertain Item at any time.

Some seemingly outlandish Items may have a more mundane explanation, on closer inspection. If the Captain feels that an Uncertain Item is particularly improbable, he may remove its Uncertain Flag and change its Name, and reduce its holder’s Sanity by 1.

If the rule “Communal Supplies” exists, repeal it.

If the proposal “Don’t be silly.” fails, this proposal does nothing.

Add a new rule, A Noisy Noise Annoys An Oyster Most:

If a Survivor is Insane then, as a Daily Action, they may Annoy one other Survivor. When a Survivor is Annoyed, their Sanity level is reduced by 1.

Amend the rule “Cabin Fever” replacing:

All other Survivors are Sane.

with

Any Survivor with a Sanity level of six or more is Sane

Remove all content on the Communal Supplies wiki page that was added after August 25 2011.

Add a rule, Communal Supplies:

There exists a Communal Food Supply, which is initially 0. This value is tracked on the Communal Supplies wiki page.

Ah, another Kevan dynasty! I request to be unidled.

Add a new rule, Cabin Fever:

Each Survivor has a Sanity level, which is a non-negative integer tracked in the GNDT, which defaults to 15. A Survivor with a Sanity level of five or less is Insane. All other Survivors are Sane.

Create a rule called “Personal belongings” with the following text:

Each Survivor can possess items which are tracked in the Blognomic wikipedia page “Survivor’s Belongings”. If a survivor has not done so yet, he may arbritrarily select an item a human is able to carry and add that to the items they own.

If the wikipage “Survivor’s belongings does not exist, create it, otherwise blank it.

Enact a new rule, “Hunger and Tiredness”:-

Each Survivor has a day on which they last Ate, and a day on which they last Slept. These days are tracked in the GNDT (as the number of the day, and the first three letters of the month, eg. “26 Aug” - the year is untracked, but is always 2011).

When a Survivor joins the game or unidles for the first time in the dynasty, the admin processing their arrival must set the day on which that player last Ate and the day on which that player last Slept to the current date.

Upon enactment of this rule, all Survivors “Ate” and “Slept” days shall be set to the 26th of August.

As the sun sinks beneath the horizon, and the SS Haniver sinks beneath the freezing waters of the Atlantic, a single lifeboat steers its way through the wreckage. Driftwood and flotsam clunk against its hull, and the Captain scans the dark water for survivors.

Replace “Gladiator” with “Survivor” and “Announcer” with “Captain”, throughout the ruleset.

Having just pushed Coppro into an Acid Pool, I find myself with eleven Frags and one Foul.

From Rule 2.6: “A Gladiator’s Audience Appreciation is equal to the number of their Fouls subtracted from the number of their Frags. The first Gladiator to reach an Audience Appreciation of 10 achieves victory.”

Unless my buzzsaw tinnitus is deceiving me, the sound of the crowd suggests that my Audience Appreciation has hit the level required for victory.

Hi fellows, I noticed that the random number generator is not really random. Especially when activated with little time in between, it generates equal or similar numbers. Also the numbers at the limits of the range are prevalent. So I think it would be nice to have a program which generates more random numbers. Unfortunately I lack the programming skills to do it, but maybe someone would be willing to do it.

Sup guys, long time no see.  I’m back and I’m better than ever.

Okay that may be a lie, but I am back!

Add a new rule, called “01100111”:

There may be an Entity in the Arena, called “The Bot”, that has IconBot.png as its Icon and is a Large Object.
If there is not an istance of “The Bot” in the Arena, any Gladiator may “Summon the Bot” by rolling DICE7 in the GNDT. If the square on the intersection between the “I” column and the row marked with the number rolled plus one is Empty he shall place the Bot on that Square.
If an Instance of the Bot existed at the most recent Turn Boundary, no Gladiator may take Main Actions until someone has “Moved the Bot”.
If no Gladiator has Moved the Bot during the current Turn, any Gladiator may move the Bot by making it Step once towards the Left. If this is not possible, he shall make it Explode instead of Stepping.
The Bot is considered to be a Gladiator for all the Dynastic rules excluded “Species”, “Icons”, “Weapons”, “Altar of Mayhem” and this rule; with the following exceptions:
* It may Explode: All the Gladiators on squares adjacent to the Bot die and lose one Frag. All the Temporary Entities (except Laser Beams) adjacent to the Destination are removed from the Arena. The Bot Dies.
* Whenever it should Die by other means than Acid Pools, it Explodes instead.
* Whenever it should move to a square containing a Crate or a CUP, that Entitiy is removed from the Arena, the Bot moves to that square and then activates its Lateral Cannons: all the Gladiators on the same column as the Bot Die and lose one Frag.

In the rule “Calls for Judgment”, replace “or if there is no hiatus going on, until four days have passed since they were posted, and if there is a hiatus going on until two days have passed since they were posted” with:-

or until 48 hours have passed since they were posted

Add a new rule, called “01100110”:

There may be an Entity in the Arena, called “The Bot”, that has IconBot.png as its Icon and is a Large Object.
If there is not an istance of “The Bot” in the Arena, any Gladiator may “Summon the Bot” by rolling DICE7 in the GNDT. If the square on the intersection between the “I” column and the row marked with the number rolled plus one is Empty the Bot shall Enter the Arena in that square.
If an Instance of the Bot existed at the most recent Turn Boundary, no Gladiator may take Main Actions until someone has “Moved the Bot”.
If no Gladiator has Moved the Bot during the current Turn, any Gladiator may move the Bot by making it Step once towards the Left. If this is not possible, it shall Explode instead.
The Bot is considered to be a Gladiator for all the Dynastic rules excluded “Species”, “Icons”, “Weapons” and “Altar of Mayhem” and with the following exceptions:
* It may Explode: All the Gladiators on squares adjacent to the Bot die and lose one Frag. All the Temporary Entities (except Laser Beans) adjacent to the Destination are removed from the Arena. The Bot Dies.
* Whenever it should Die by other means than Acid Pools, it Explodes instead.
* Whenever it should move to a square containing a Crate or a CUP, that Entitiy is removed from the Arena, the Bot moves to that square and then activates its Lateral Cannons: all the Gladiators on the same column as the Bot Die and lose one Frag.

I’ll be back in a dynasty or two.

Quorum remains 6.

I forgot to mention I have arrived as a new player in my previous post.  I would like to join the game.  Can you please add me.

Can you please add me to the game?  Thanks, Chris

In the rule “Fouls”, change the text

Attempting to make an illegal modification to the Arena wiki page or the GNDT stats

with

Attempting to make an illegal modification to the Arena wiki page

In the Rule “Altar of Mayhem” replace the text:

If a single Gladiator has been continuously attached to the StickyBomb for 72 hours and for at least 24 hours since the last Turn Boundary, any Gladiator may cause the StickyBomb to explode, causing him to Die. When a Gladiator attached to a StickyBomb Dies, the Gladiator who fobbed it off on him and the Gladiator who made the StickyBomb’s StickyBomb Post are each awarded a Frag and the StickyBomb ceases to exist; this should be noted in a comment to the StickyBomb Post.

with

The StickyBomb initially has a fuse length, which is a nonnegative integer and is equal to 9 when the StickyBomb is created. For each AP the Gladiator attached to the StickyBomb spends, the fuse length is decreased by one. The Gladiator attached to the StickyBomb should note a change of the fuselength in a comment to the Sticky Bomb post. Additionally, at each Turn Boundary any Gladiator may decrease the fuse length by one and make a according comment to the StickyBomb post, if no Gladiator has done so since the Turn Boundary occurred. If the fuse length is 0, any Gladiator may cause the StickyBomb to explode, whereupon the Gladiator attached to the StickyBomb dies. The Gladiator triggering that action receives no frag for this action. When a Gladiator attached to a StickyBomb Dies, the Gladiator who fobbed it off on him and the Gladiator who made the StickyBomb’s StickyBomb Post are each awarded a Frag and the StickyBomb ceases to exist; this should be noted in a comment to the StickyBomb Post.

If an Instance of the Robot existed at the most recent Turn Boundary, no Gladiator may take Main Actions until someone has “Moved the Bot”.
If no Gladiator has Moved the Bot during the current Turn, any Gladiator may move the Bot by making it Step once towards the Left. If this is not possible, it shall Explode instead.
The Bot is considered to be a Gladiator for all the Dynastic rules excluded “Species”, “Icons”, “Weapons” and “Altar of Mayhem” and with the following exceptions:
* It may Explode: All the Gladiators on squares adjacent to the Bot die and gain 1 Foul. All the Temporary Entities (except Laser Beans) adjacent to the Destination are removed from the Arena. The Bot Dies.
* Whenever it should Die by other means than Acid Pools, it Explodes instead.
* Whenever it should move to a square containing a Crate or a CUP, that Entitiy is removed from the Arena, and the Bot activates his Lateral Cannons: all the Gladiators on the same column as the Destination Die and get 1 Foul. This replaces the normal process another Gladiator would do in this case.

Guess what, I get a bomb from the Dispenser!
Mwahahahaha!

Unless I’m missing something, Josh just placed a Crate illegally - he rolled a 5 and a 4 in the GNDT, but placed the Crate at [4,3] instead.

Josh picked up an Acid Barrel and used it to attack the square that Hello Kitty was standing in, but an Acid Barrel can only be used “to Attack any Empty Arena Square which is adjacent to the Attacker”. A Square is only Empty if it “contains no Entities”.

Agora Nomic times out after a week of doing nothing beyond requesting to join, and becomes idle. Quorum remains unchanged.

In Rule 2.2, replace “A Square is considered Blocked if it is not inside the bounds of the Arena, it contains a Gladiator, or it contains anything the rules declare to be a Large Object.” with:-

A Square is considered Blocked if it is not inside the bounds of the Arena, or it contains an Entity.

In the “Traps” rule, replace “edited to contain a Laser Beam (represented by the Icon “IconLaser.png”)” with:-

See the adminning comment on this fweep.

Basically, PA fweeped coppro but didn’t award the foul for the fweep at the time. This meant that, when I closed it, I couldn’t transfer the awarded foul as no such foul existed. Thus, to set the gamestate straight, award PrinceAnduril 1 foul for having his fweep overturned.

In the rule “The Arena” after the sentence

Two Arena Squares are considered to be adjacent if they are next to one another either orthogonally or diagonally.

add

In this view, column A is considered to be next to column I and row 1 is considered to be next to row 9.

I’d like to become an active gladiator if possible in the fourth dynasty of bucky

In rule “Turn-based Actions” repeal:

No Gladiator can take Main Actions with a total cost greater than 3 AP in any 24-hour period.

When he fweeped me for fragging Blacky’s death, coppro also reverted that frag in the GNDT. It’s of course too early to tell for sure, but it looks like that fweep is going to be overturned, and in fact coppro himself went on to act in a manner consistent with the assumption that my frag was in fact legitimate (although that action is in the process of being overturned via a separate fweep).

These both indicate that coppro was incorrect to revert my frag and thus this was an illegal change to the GNDT.

i think i’ll teak a break for a while, i’m not really into the game currently. please idle me

Kevan, in attempting to restore my purportedly-illegal actions, put me back at my starting position. He put me back at G9, which is where I would have been if none of my follows through were legal. The first three were certainly legal, however, since they would have cost 1 AP each, and thus I would in reality be at B2. Thus, either way, Kevan’s adjustment was illegal.

Since someone needs to propose this and the Slip and Slide Suicide CfJ here looks like it might fail, I propose a new Fweep simply requesting that coppro be given a foul, without reference to his actions being reverted.

Coppro scammed the Follow-Through action, realising that its first clause didn’t prevent it being used at any time. Which is perhaps fair enough. However, he failed to pay any action points to use these Follow-Through actions. “Main Actions are actions that have a Cost in AP (which must be spent in order to perform the Main Action), which is 1 unless otherwise stated.” - this means that all of his Follow-Through actions were illegal, as he did not pay their costs. As a result, he did not claim a StickyBomb, did not earn a Frag for his own death, did not move from the position where he entered the Arena, and there’s still some Blood lying around.

(This does mean that Follow-Through is a useless action - pay 1AP to reduce the cost of your next action by 1AP! - but that’s exactly how it’s written. It is not a 0AP action.)

Prince Anduril shoved me into a square containing a Laser Beam (which is legal, since due to an oversight in wording, Laser Beams are not Entities, they’re just icons). He then killed me and claimed a Frag for my death. So far as I can see, there is nothing in the ruleset which says that being pushed into a square containing a Laser Beam icon results in a death.

Coppro took a selective reading of the rule on Following Through. There were two ambiguities that he exploited:

* While the rule specifies that Following Through may be performed under certain circumstances, it doesn’t forbid performing it without those circumstances existing; and
* “provided that it continues in the same direction of travel as the initial shove” refers to the very first shove performed in the game, rather than the shove that resulted in the follow through taking place.

The latter only appears to be justifiable in the context of the former - if following through requires a shove then it is clear that that is the shove referred to by the term “initial”, and if it does not then it can be reasonably asserted that “initial” refers to the first shove ever performed. I find the first to be dubious, however, on the grounds that the ruleset never explicitly states that main actions can be performed *at all*, so the redacto ad absurdum approach still prevents Coppro from taking those actions.

Therefore, revert Coppro’s actions as undertaken on August 15th and add one Foul to his total.

Add the following to the end of the rule entitled Death and Scorekeeping:

A Gladiator may not take an action that would directly cause or result in their own Death.

Amend the third paragraph of the same rule to read as follows:

A Gladiator gains 1 Frag when a rule says they are Awarded a Frag. A Gladiator can never receive a Frag for, or as a direct result of, their own Death, or more than one Frag for the same Death.

In the rule “Turn-Based Actions”, replace “If a Gladiator has been shoved since the last Turn Boundary, and has not died or taken a Main Action since the shove took place, then he may Follow Through as his next Main Action.” with:-

A Gladiator may not take this Main Action unless they have been Shoved since the last Turn Boundary, and have not died or taken a Main Action since the Shove took place.

And replace “the same direction of travel as the initial shove” with “the direction in which they were most recently Shoved”.

I will stick this to myself.

Josh claimed a Frag for Blacky’s death by StickyBomb. Rule 2.7 prevents this.

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

The Wiki page “[[Agoran Infoport]]”  is a collection of documents that represent shared gamestate between Agora Nomic and Blognomic.  The contents of that Wiki page may only be modified as allowed and/or required by either the Ruleset or by the rules of Agora.

Remove all text from the Agoran Infoport.

If the proposal “Suspicious Package” failed, this proposal does nothing.

Increase Blacky’s Fouls by 1.

The historical gamestate shall be altered such that this wiki update of creating a Crate performed by Blacky was a legal game action.

As per the discussion in Fweep: Crate Accompli, we’re working off illegal gamestate due to an unreverted illegal edit by Blacky a few weeks ago. Keven has backtracked the effects and determined that he and Blacky are both 1 frag better off than they would be had the crate’s effects not been in play.

Therefore, reduce Kevan and Blacky’s Frags by 1 apiece and treat the resultant gamestate to be legal as of the time of the enactment of this proposal.

If the proposal “The Crate Escape” fails, then this proposal does nothing.

Replace

“If there are fewer than two Crates in the Arena, any Gladiator may - as a daily Action - activate the Crate Dropper by selecting a random Arena Square.”

with:

If there are fewer than two Crates in the Arena, any Gladiator may activate the crate dropper by selecting a random Arena Square. This selection constitutes a Daily Action, regardless of whether a crate has yet been placed in the Arena.

In the rule “Crates”, replace “If the selected Arena Square is empty, then the Gladiator may place a Crate in that Arena Square by updating the Arena wiki page.” with:-

If the selected Arena Square is empty, then the Gladiator may place a Crate in that Arena Square within ten minutes of performing the action, by updating the Arena wiki page.

Also replace “create a Crate” with “activate the Crate Dropper”.

Prince Anduril rolled to create a Crate, but rolled two nines, and the corner square already had an Acid Pool in it. In response, he created another crate (“A crate is not created as the selected arena square is not empty - I therefore make another attempt to create a Crate” which he also rolled an occupied square for), and then another until he got an empty square. But the Crates rule says:-

If there are fewer than two Crates in the Arena, any Gladiator may - as a daily Action - create a Crate by selecting a random Arena Square. If the selected Arena Square is empty, then the Gladiator may place a Crate in that Arena Square by updating the Arena wiki page.

Since “creating a crate” is a daily Action which only places the crate in the Arena if the target square is empty, it is clearly illegal for Prince to “make another attempt to create a Crate”, in the same day.

I deidle - Quorum remains at 6 - Do I get my frags back? Because I was doing well!

Prince Anduril idles out after eight days of inactivity. Quorum remains unchanged.

(If Agora Nomic isn’t going to be playing after all, would Jonatan mind requesting to be idled, so that we don’t have an inactive account artificially inflating quorum over the next week?)

I get a bomb from the dispenser

There is an issue when a Gladiotor holding the cup dies, as in this case the rules “Blood!” and “Vicory and Glory” contradict each other. The rule “Blood!” states:

Immediately after a Gladiator Dies, if the square where this death occurred is Empty, a Blood Pool is created there.

A contradicting statement is found in the rule “Victory and Glory”:

When the Gladiator holding The ClingBoom Cup Dies, an Instance of CUP is placed on the square where that death occurred, if it is Empty.

Is is not clear which rule takes precedence.

Therefore, in the rule “Victory and Glory” change the sentence:

When the Gladiator holding The ClingBoom Cup Dies, an Instance of CUP is placed on the square where that death occurred, if it is Empty.

to

When the Gladiator holding The ClingBoom Cup Dies, an Instance of CUP is placed on the square where that death occurred, if it is Empty or contains a Blood Pool. If a Blood pool exists in this square, remove it before placing the CUP.

If at least quorum of the EVC on this CfJ contain the string “Agora rulez!” Blacky may declare Victory.

Hello Kitty of Doom attempted to make 5 steps during the same 24 hour period; this is illegal per 2.4.1.

My name is bomb. Sticky Bomb.

Whereas the rules state that “Anybody may apply to join BlogNomic”, and whereas “anybody” is a little ambiguous,
Replace “Anybody may apply to join BlogNomic” with “Any human may apply to join BlogNomic”; and
Treat this post as being a join request by the ambassador of Agora, rather than the game itself.

I, Jonatan Kilhamn, am registered and marked as an Idle Gladiator with my old screen name Tiger. I now wish to leave the game, but use this account to re-enter the game with my current screen name, Agora Nomic. As I am the ambassador of Agora, I will be playing on its behalf.

To the rule “Blood!”, add:-

If no Gladiator has triggered the Water Jets during the current Turn, then any Gladiator may trigger the Water Jets by selecting a row or column and removing all Blood Pools from that row or column.

When Josh harpooned me, he replaced my icon with that of an empty square. Yet under Rule 2.3.2 (Blood!), “Immediately after a Gladiator Dies, if the square where this death occurred is Empty, a Blood Pool is created there.”, so updating the square to be empty was an illegal modification. (This mistake has since been corrected by another player.)

Add the following to the end of the rule entitled Gladiators:

If a Proposal contains a provision that targets a specifically named idle Gladiator, then that idle Gladiator is considered to be not idle solely for the purposes of enacting that specific provision.

In the same rule, change the following:

When a Gladiator is de-idled, if they went idle in the same dynasty, their personal gamestate retains the values it had immediately prior to their going Idle, if they are still valid.

to read as follows:

When a Gladiator is de-idled, if they went idle in the same dynasty, their personal gamestate retains the last legally endowed values it had, if they are still valid.

Josh loses 1 Frag and gains 1 Foul.

I shall call this bomb Winston.

Quorum rises to 6.

I makes me a StickyBomb!

In the rule “Fouls”, replace “then the awarded Foul is transferred from the Gladiator who was initially accused to the Gladiator who made the Foul Post” with:-

then the awarded Foul is transferred from the Gladiator who was initially accused to the Gladiator who made the Foul Post (or, if that Gladiator does not exist, the awarded Foul is removed)

Kevan loses one Foul.

In the rule “Fouls”, change the text

per day.

to

per day, excluding Fouls transferred from other Gladiators.

Add a subrule to Fouls, called “Tinkering”:-

Whenever a Gladiator would roll DICEX to determine which Trap takes effect for a Target, they may instead choose a number between 1 and X and have that as a the result of the die roll. If they do so, they gain one Foul.

In the rule “Fouls”, replace “A Gladiator may not gain more than one Foul per day.” with:-

A Gladiator may not gain more than one Foul from Foul Posts per day.

In the comments on the Too Many Cups Fweep, Coppro argues that “Only one Gladiator may hold The ClingBoom Cup at any time” means “For each instance of The ClingBoom Cup, only one Gladiator may hold it” rather than “Only one Gladiator may hold an instance of The ClingBoom Cup at any time”. Hello Kitty described this interpretation as “ludicrous” and said they’d CfJ it, but they haven’t yet, so here’s a CfJ.

If this CfJ is enacted, then in the Rule “Victory and Glory”, replace “Only one Gladiator may hold The ClingBoom Cup at any time, and only one instance of CUP may be present in the Arena at any time.” with:-

If more than one instance of The ClingBoom Cup is held by a Gladiator, and one of those instances was not held by a Gladiator immediately prior to this circumstance arising, that instance is removed from play. If more than one instance of the CUP exists in the Arena, all instances of the CUP are removed from the Arena.

Quorum drops to 5.

In the rule “Fouls”, replace “If, after 24 hours, a quorum of Gladiators have voted AGAINST the Foul Post, then the awarded Foul is transferred from the Gladiator who was initially accused to the Gladiator who made the Foul Post.” with:-

A Foul Post is a Votable Matter. If a Foul Post is more than 48 hours old, any admin may mark it as closed, at which point it is no longer a Votable Matter - if more Gladiators voted AGAINST the Foul Post than FOR it at this point, then the awarded Foul is transferred from the Gladiator who was initially accused to the Gladiator who made the Foul Post.

Change the definition of “Votable Matter” in the Keywords rule from “The word “Votable Matter”, means a Proposal, a CFJ or a DoV.” to:-

A post which Gladiators may cast Votes on, such as a Proposal, a Call for Judgment or a Declaration of Victory.

When this proposal enacts, any comment on a Foul Post which contains a voting icon shall be considered to have been cast as a Vote on that Foul Post, by the Gladiator who posted the comment.

Kevin removed my weapon ‘The ClingBoom Cup’ on the wiki page illegally. See this post for info.

Josh contends that the Spring-Mounted Propeller Panel Trap effect of…

If that Square is Empty or contains a Target, then the Victim is moved to it. If the Square contains a Gladiator other than the Victim, then both that Gladiator and the Victim die. Otherwise, the Victim dies.

...means that if the Square is Empty, then the Victim is both moved to it, and dies. I contend that the “If… If… Otherwise…” means that the “otherwise” clause only triggers if neither of the first two conditions are met. (Reading it as “If the Square is Empty, then: if the Square contains a Gladiator do X, otherwise do Y” doesn’t make a lot of sense, because an Empty Square could never contain a Gladiator.)

If this CfJ passes, replace “Otherwise” with “If neither of these conditions are met” in the effect of the Spring-Mounted Propeller Panel, for the sake of clarity. If Prince Anduril is Resting, set him to “Fighting” and return him to Arena Square C1. Remove the Frags that Josh erroneously assigned for his death. If Kevan gained a Foul as a result of the Fweep post from Josh regarding Prince Anduril and the Propeller Panel, transfer that Frag to Josh.

This afternoon, Kevan pushed PrinceAnduril onto a propeller panel. He moved PA to the randomly chosen tile - C1 - but failed to then kill him (from the rules: “If the Square contains a Gladiator other than the Victim, then both that Gladiator and the Victim die. Otherwise, the Victim dies.”) Moving him without then killing him constitutes a foul (as Kevan failed to fully “apply the effect of the Trap”).

Coppro unidled and gave himself the Clingboom Cup, which he was carrying when he idled four days ago. As I understand it, this gamestate update is illegal, since the Cup Weapon disappeared from play when he idled - “When a Gladiator becomes idle, he also becomes Resting.” and “When a Gladiator stops Fighting and begins Resting, they lose any Weapons they were carrying.”, so when Coppro elected to idle himself out, he became Resting and the Cup was removed from his possession.

(His action also contradicts “Only one Gladiator may hold The ClingBoom Cup at any time” in Rule 2.14.)

Quorum is now 6.

In the rule “Altar of Mayhem”, replace “The Gladiator attached to a StickyBomb may fob it off on another Gladiator in an adjacent Square who has not previously been attached to that StickyBomb” with:-

The Gladiator attached to a StickyBomb (known as the “Fobber”) may fob it off on another Gladiator in an adjacent Square who has been attached to that StickyBomb fewer times than the Fobber (or, if no Fighting Gladiators have been attached to that StickyBomb fewer times than the Fobber, any Gladiator in an adjacent Square)

After “Each Arena Square may contain either one or zero Entities.” in the rule “The Arena”, add:-

Entities are either Permanent or Temporary, defaulting to Temporary.

And in the rule “Altar of Mayhem”, replace “There is an Entity, the StickyBomb Dispenser” with:-

There is a Permanent Entity, the StickyBomb Dispenser

Reword the effect of the Vertical Particle Beam from “The Victim dies.” to:-

If there are no Permanent Entities in the same column as the Victim, then all Entities in that column are removed (causing any Gladiators removed in this way to Die) and all squares in that column are edited to contain a Laser Beam (represented by the Icon “IconLaser.png”). If a Laser Beam has been in the Arena for an entire Turn, then any Gladiator may remove all Laser Beams from the Arena.

Add a new subrule to the rule “Death and Scorekeeping”.  Call it “End of Regulation” and give it the following text:

At noon on August 18th, and on each Turn Boundary thereafter, if one Gladiator has at least three more Frags than each other Gladiator, that Gladiator achieves victory.

Here is a bomb!

In the rule “Death and Scorekeeping”, replace “The first Gladiator to reach an Audience Appreciation of 20 achieves victory.” with:-

The first Gladiator to reach an Audience Appreciation of 10 achieves victory.

Change the effect of the Crazy Ivan from “The Victim’s AP is set to zero.” to:-

The Victim’s AP is set to zero, and they lose any Weapons they are carrying. The Triggerer may then move the Victim into a square adjacent to the Victim’s current location, provided that this square is Empty, or contains a Target or an Acid Pool.
