Change the special house rule for the Misers to the following:
The Misers: The Misers have always hated Halloween, but they do leave a bowl of candy out on their doorstep with a sign that says “Only take one” in menacing red ink. If a Trick-or-Treater Requests Candy at the Miser’s house, instead of following the normal procedure, they must do the following: a) choose a number X, which must be less than or equal to the Misers candy quantity, and b) a DICE 25. If the result is less than or equal to X, the Misers will take all of that Trick-or-Treater’s Tricks, Treats, Candy, and Costumes. Otherwise, the Trick-or-Treater will gain X Gummy Bears. Neither “Taking a big handful” nor “Begging for extra” has any affect on the Misers.
Hopefully this is better.

When a Trick-or-Treater scares a location, every Trick-or-Treater at that location who’s Trick value is lower or equal to the scarer becomes separate instances of a scaree for the purposes of this rule.
A scaree drops a number of combination of the scarer’s choice of Candy, Treats or other items besides Tricks and Costumes, equal to the scarer’s Trick value minus the scaree’s Trick value. If that value is negative the scarer must drop that many items or drop every item they have which meets the aforementioned criteria. Dropped items can only be picked up by players who did not drop items in the exchange, unless they leave the location, and return.
Change the text of the the rule Trick-or-Treat to this:
Each Trick-or-Treater has an amount of Tricks and an amount of Treats, each defaulting to 20 and tracked on the GNDT.

*Superhero (0 Trick, 2 Treat, Police Station)
*Ghost (1 Trick, 1 Treat, Cemetary)
*Skeleton (2 Trick, 1 Treat, Cemetary)

The costume Types are as Follows:
*spooky
*ecologically responsible
*expensive
*cheap
*homemade
*sneakySince the Superhero and Ghost can fly they can move up to 3 locations in one “sneak out” action.
The Human can pick up dropped items at will.
A Trick-or-Treater may change their costume to a costume stocked at their location by paying the costume’s trick value, paying its treat value, removing the costume from being stocked at that location, and noting they have done so in the GNDT or a blog post.

When a Trick-or-Treater scares a location that is able to be scared, any entities, including Trick-or-Treaters, whose Trick value is lower or equal to the scarer becomes separate instances of a scaree for the purposes of this rule. A scaree drops a number of combination of the scarer’s choice of Candy, Treats or other items besides Tricks and Costumes, equal to the scarer’s Trick value minus the scaree’s Trick value plus one. If that value is negative the scarer must drop that many items or drop every item they have which meets the aforementioned criteria. The scarer may pick up any number of items as long as the number of dropped items are always greater than the sum of any negative values the scarer got. Any items still dropped are noted on the [[Pumpkin Boulevard]] wikipage along with the location that they are at.
Added some benefit to the Superhero and Ghost since their values only add up to 2 while every other costume besides Human adds to 3.

Append to the rule locations:
As an action a Trick-or-Treater may spend 1 Trick or 1 Treat to Sneak, or change their location once. A Trick-or-Treater may only change to a location that their current location has a connection to. By sneaking, they do not trigger any special rules, except for those that specifically mention sneaking. Their location must be prefixed with an asterisk (*) in the GDNT to indicate they’ve sneaked there, and are hidden.
If a Trick-or-Treater is hiding in a Location (an asterisk (*) prefixes their location) they may not walk. Instead they must either (a) sneak out, (b) pay one Treat to reveal themselves, and do which ever action would be normally won entering that location, or (c) pay one Trick to scare that location.
Scaring could be pretty cool, also I think that some differentiation between tricks & treats is nice.

Create a Rule: Trick or Treating
Each Trick-or-Treater has 0 or more units of candy. These units of candy are tracked on the GNDT, with each candy type having its own column. All candy type columns default to 0.
If the Time is “the big night”, a tricker or treater at a house may spend one trick and one treat to “Request Candy” by stating that they do so, and at which house, in a blog post.
If this is the first time that trick or treater has requested candy at this house, the house will distribute candy to that trick or treater.
If this is not the first time that a trick or treater has requested candy at this house, but the first time they have done so while wearing their current costume, the house will distribute candy to that trick or treater if the house fails its gullibility check.
If a Trick-or-Treater spends their last trick and their last treat to request candy at a house, the house will distribute candy to that Trick-or-Treater.
Create a Rule: Distributing Candy:
When a House distributes Candy to a Trick-or-Treater they add 1 unit of the house’s prefferred candy type to that Trick-or-Treater. If the Trick-or-Treater is wearing their prefferred costume type, that Trick-or-Treater receives an extra unit of the the house’s prefferred candy type.
Create a Rule: Gullibility Checks:
A trick or treater house makes a gullibility check by rolling DICE10 in the GNDT. If the result is above its gullibility plus all gullibility modifiers, the house has succeeded at the gullibility check. If it rolls below or equal to its gullibility plus all gullibility modifiers, it has failed its gullibility check.
Having the favored costume type of a house gives +3 to the gullibility of a house for gullibility checks.

If a proposal from the “Pirates” series up to “Ghost Pirates!” does not pass, remove “Beach”, “Shipwreck” and “Nightmare Way” anywhere they appear in the table.
If any family names are changed before this proposal is passed, Replace one of the Addams with their name.
The big change here is splitting “Street” into four separate Streets, each with an equally spoopy name. This pushes the maximum amount of distance between any two nodes to six, making it so you can’t always get everywhere with one trick or one treat.
Hallo all! I’ve always been wanting to play a Nomic game so when I recently noticed you had just restarted here I decided to try. First game evah so I’ll start out by keeping a low profile and just up/downvoting, I guess :>

Create a new Rule “Time”
Pumpkin Boulevard tracks a value named “Time”. Time has three valid values: “Before”, “After”, and “The Big Night”. Time starts at the value “Before”.
Victory may only be achieved if Pumpkin Boulevard’s time is “After”. Candy will only be distributed on Pumpkin Boulevard if the Time is “The Big Night”.

If the proposal “Pumpkin Boulevard” has passed, make the following changes to the rule “The Neighborhood”:
There are 6 houses of Pumpkin Boulevard.
becomes:
Pumpkin Boulevard starts out having 6 houses.
and the clause:
[...] and gullibility is a number defaulting to 0.
will change into:
[...] and gullibility is a number which starts between 0 and 10. It defaults to 0.
Interpret the line “No candy will be distributed until each house has a unique Family Name, Costume Type Preference, and Candy Type.” as allowing one of the houses to stay at the default.
Within the rule “The Neighborhood” add a sub-rule titled “Special Houses Rules” with this text:
Some houses may have special rules regarding their traits. They will be written as new paragraphs of the form:
The [FAMILY NAME]: [SPECIAL RULE]
And will be stored in this section.
Allow that, once some (as yet undecided) state is reached, the number of houses on Pumpkin Boulevard may increase.

if someone wants a different kind of halloween, I’m all ears
Welcome to the Eighth Metadynasty of Blognomic. This is the longest blognomic has gone without entering meta-dynasty. 39 dynasties have passed since Sept 4, 2013, when purplebeard ended the Seventh Metadynasty.
All dynastic rules have been reset. Cuddlebeam is no longer a King. Princes remain Princes, which is suitably generic if not particularly themed. The Imperial vote mechanism will do nothing until we have a king or until a function is assigned it.
While it is customary to have a hiatus between dynasties, no declaration of victory has been made, and no ascension address can be made. And we only have 25 days to Halloween. So I invite all of you to start making rules immediately.
As indicated in the initiating proposal, this dynasty is Halloween themed. Will it end in a trick of rules? or in the treat of involved and clever gameplay?
I want to be pagan no more!

Fail all other proposals. Repeal all Dynastic Rules. End the current dynasty. Start a new metadynasty with a Halloween theme.
Since Cuddlebeam mentioned on slack that he really didn’t want to continue this, how about something new? Also a diceroll victory is lame when that was what happened last time.

Create a rule called “Noun Types”
There are four noun types that are of special interest to the king. They are:
*Food
*Animals
*Weapons
*VehiclesA list of nouns belonging to each class shall be kept on the same page as the Katamari. A prince may declare a noun to be Classified as a noun type by appending it to the end of that classes’ list.
A prince who believes a noun should not be classified as a noun type may dispute this in a blog post with the tag [noun type dispute], and shall clearly state which nouns and noun types they are disputing. If a second prince in a comment states “I also dispute [NOUN] in [NOUN-TYPE]”, where [NOUN] is a noun and [NOUN-TYPE] is a corresponding noun-type being disputed, the noun may not be classified as that noun-type, and shall be removed from the noun type list.
If a noun’s classification has not been disputed four days after it is declared, it may not be disputed.
Create a subrule of “Noun Types” named “Classification Rules”
A noun may be classified as more than one noun. A tank should be classified as both a weapon and a vehicle, for example.
Names applying to individuals are not classified as Animals. Types of humans are not considered animals. Robots, undead, and creatures of pure magic are not classified as animals. Birds, Fish, and Invertebrates are classified as animals. Imaginary creatures may be classified as animals.
Weapons have as a primary purpose death or destruction. Merely being able to be used as a weapon does not make a noun a weapon. Events such as a duel may be considered weapons.
Vehicles have as a primary purpose transporting humans or large quantities of human goods. Animals used extensively in transporting goods may be classified as vehicles.
Food is from a human-centric point of view. Being edible is not sufficient to classify a noun as food. A noun should either be eaten extensively or have little purpose outside of being eaten to be classified as food. Items that are eaten for exotic effects, such as medicines and potions, are food. Water should be classified as food.
A noun referring to a class of items, some of which may be classified as a noun-type and many of which may not, is not that noun type. for example, “plants” are not Food. A noun referring to a class of items, most of which are of a noun-type, but some of which are not, may be classified as that noun type. For example, “creature” may be classified as an animal.
I have intentionally not made a comprehensive list of nouns for each type because I think finding nouns that fit but are unexpected will be reasonably entertaining, and because an exhaustive list doesn’t sound entertaining.
I intend for this to be used in a victory condition.
