In Rule 2.2.1 “Kicking the Ball” replace all instances of “DICE3” with “DICE12.” In the same rule, change all instances of the number “2” to the number “11” and all instances of the number “3” to the number “12.”

In Rule 2.10 “The Method of Scoring:

Replace all instances of “DICE10” with “DICE15.” Replace all instances of “DICE40” with “DICE32.”

After “Afterwards, the Ball is removed from the Shooting Player” add the phrase

and the Shooting post is considered closed.

I made a calculator tool which shows the probability of scoring under the current rules, given the number of (rolling) assisters and defenders, and the dice sizes (which can be tweaked away from their current values).

It constantly simulates score attempts in the background since I didn’t think I could figure out the math.

This was mostly a pedagogical exercise for myself.

In Rule 2.18.1, add the following to the end of that Rule:-

Whenever this Challenge is Active and a player kicks the ball and rolls a 3 in the same GNDT comment, they must not increase their Score by 1 as they normally would due to the fact that they Kicked the ball

In Rule 2.2.1 Kicking the Ball, replace “If a Player has the Ball, they may Kick the Ball by making a GNDT comment naming a Player (other than themselves, and who has a Position) to be a target Player and rolling DICE3.” with:-

If a Player has the Ball, they may Kick the Ball by making a GNDT comment naming a Player (other than themselves, and who has a Position) to be a target Player and rolling DICE3 in the same GNDT comment.

If “If the result is 3, the Ball becomes Out of Play and is removed from any Player’s possession.” is contained in rule 2.2.1 “Kicking the Ball”, change it to:

If the result is 3, the Ball becomes Out of Play and is removed from any Player’s possession, and the Kicking Player may not gain the Ball for themselves while the Ball is still Out of Play.

Hello! I wish to be a Player.

If “Afterwards, the Ball is removed from the Scoring Player” is a phrase in rule 2.10 “The Method of Scoring,” add a phrase after it that reads

and the Scoring post is considered closed.

To the first paragraph of the rule “The Players’ Equipment”, add:

If the Ball is Out of Play and has not come into Play since a Scoring post has been closed, any Player may trade Shirt numbers with any other Player that has not Scored due to the most recent Scoring post.

In the rule 2.2.1 “Kicking the Ball,” change “When a Player Kicks the Ball, they may update the GNDT to make themselves Assisting, when transferring its ownership.

Any Player who rolls a die for this purpose must post the result in a comment to the Shooting post along with a description of the player’s role in shooting (shooter, assisting player, Goalkeeper, defensive player). Such a comment is known as a Play.  Once either 6 people have made Plays or at least 48 hours have passed since the last Play, the Coach comments with the sum of the rolls from the shooter and the assisting players, along with the sum of the rolls from the goalkeeper and the defense players. The set of players whose rolls contributed to the larger sum all receive one score; if the scores are tied, no players receive a score. Afterwards, the Ball is removed from the Shooting Player.

Replace “If a Player has the Ball, they may Kick the Ball by making a GNDT comment naming a Player (other than themselves, and who has a Position) to be a target Player and rolling DICE3.

The Coach may also have a position, which he may change at any time by assigning himself a shirt number that is 100 plus a number a player might have for that position.  The Coach may also change his shirt number to 0 in order to cease to have a position.

I don’t expect to remain active for too long, though.

Quorum remains 6.

In the challenge “Passing”, replace “the number of times a player has Kicked the Ball” with:-

the number of times a player has Kicked the Ball since the Challenge started

Create a new Game Document, entitled “Challenges.”  Add one Challenge entitled “Passing”:

While this Challenge is Active, the number of times a player has Kicked the Ball is tracked in the GNDT. The first Player to have Kicked the Ball 5 times wins this Challenge.

Add one Challenge entitled “Scoring”:

While this Challenge is Active, the number of Scores a Player has is written as X(+Y), where X is the number of Scores the Player had before the Challenge was Active (their Previous Score) and Y is the number of Scores the Player achieved after it became Active (their Improved Score). The first player to have Scored 2 times since this Challenge became Active wins this Challenge. After this Challenge is finished, each player adds their Previous Score and their Improved Score to get their Score.

Enact a new rule, Challenges :-

A Challenge is a task that can be completed within the game that is detailed in the “Challenges” section of the BlogNomic wiki. By default, all Challenges are Inactive. Any player may attempt to create a new Challenge by making a Proposal titled “New Challenge—” followed by the name of the Challenge.

As a daily action, the Coach can make a Man of the Match post by making a post titled Man of the Match and Activating a Challenge within the body of the post. If and when a Player wins that Challenge, the Coach must make exactly one Victory post for that Challenge titled Man of the Match: Victory with the name of a player who has completed the Challenge in the body of that post. The player must be the first player to have completed the task. Then, any Admin may update the GNDT “Shirt” field of that player so that said player has an M in their Shirt field.

In Rule 2.2.1 “Kicking the Ball,” add

The number of times a Player has Kicked the Ball is tracked in the GNDT but remains at 0 unless a Challenge that includes the phrase “While this Challenge is Active, the number of times a player has Kicked the Ball is tracked in the GNDT” is active.

I don’t know what I did, but it wasn’t good. I’m currently checking to see if new proposals show up in the sidebar.

Enact a new rule, Man of the Match:-

As a daily action, the Coach can make a Man of the Match post by making a post titled Man of the Match and declaring a challenge by posting the description of a certain task that can be completed within the game in the body of that post. Then, at any time, for each Man of the Match post the Coach can make exactly one Victory post titled Man of the Match: Victory with the name of a player who has completed the task in the body of that post. The player must be the first player to have completed the task, and if any player does complete such a task, the Coach must make a corresponding Victory post.

Hello guys

I would like to be unidled, please.
Thank you!

Add a new rule, “Passing”:

Add a new rule, “Scoring”:

Enact a new rule, “Scrimmages”:-

As a weekly action, the Coach may Plan a Scrimmage by giving the scrimmage a title, making a post, called a Scrimmage Post, to that effect that contains the scrimmage’s title, updating the GNDT so that no-one has a ball, and stating within the Scrimmage Post the result, X, of a DICE25 rolled using the GNDT. X hours after the last hour of the day after the day the Coach makes such a post, the scrimmage starts. No player may gain the ball in the duration after a Scrimmage Post but before the corresponding scrimmage starts.

Enact a new rule, “The Ball”:-

One Player may have the Ball; the Player who has the Ball is tracked in the GNDT field “Ball”, with a single “O”.

If a Player has the Ball, they may transfer it to any other Player by updating the GNDT; this action is known as a “Kick”.

If no Player has the Ball, any Player may gain the Ball for themselves by updating the GNDT to that effect.

Hi. I’m your Coach. Call me Coach, or else…

The ambiguous soccer tournament is coming up and you boys are in no condition to win a game, let alone the Championship. Here’s the way it’s going to work around here from now on; toes on the line with shirts tucked in at 2:25, blah blah…

I guess what I’ve got to say is this: I’m a winner, and their aint no room on this team for losers. I hope for your sake that there’s room on this team for YOU.

Change Seller/Sellers to Player/Players. Change Broker to Coach. Repeal all Dynastic rules.

Life has given me an opportunity to be a (fairly) active player.  I would like to be unidled please.
