BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

After Sabotage in the list of Activities, add “Leading”.

To the second paragraph of “Activities”, add:-

An Activist may not change their Activity to Leading in this way if another Activist is Leading.

Replace the first paragraph of “The Speaker” with:-

If a single Activist is the only Activist who is Leading, then they are the Speaker. If an Activist has been Leading for 48 hours or more, any Activist may change that Activist’s Activity to no activity.

Replace “by making a blog with exactly one activists name and the name of exactly one valid order.” with :-

by making a blog with exactly one Activist’s name and the name of exactly one valid order, setting their own Activity to no activity, and setting the Activity of an Activist other than themselves to Leading.

Set Derrick’s Activity to Leading.

Zaphod idles out after a week’s inactivity. Quorum drops to 3.

To the bullet list in The Big Day, add:-

* -2 if the Activist has no Identity, or set their Identity for the first time within the past 10 days

Add to the rule “Locations” the following:

A Tip is accurate if it is the most recent Tip an Activist has posted, and if it includes the defined Location of the Plan, once that Location is no longer undefined.

Create a rule named “Orders”

An order has a name, and a requirement. An activist for whom the requirement is true has “fulfilled” the requirement.

Valid orders are:
* Change Activity to [X]: The Activist’s activity is [X], where [X] is a valid activity
* Photograph: The Activist has performed the “Take Photos” action sometime in the dynasty

Create a rule named “Suspicion”

Each activist has an amount of suspicion, tracked in the GNDT and defaulting to zero. Suspicion represents the suspicion other rebels have about the activist.

If an Activist has proven their Loyalty to Peace or Violence, they may reduce their Suspicion to zero at any time.

Create a rule named “The Speaker”

If the same Activist has been the speaker for 48 hours or more, any Activist may change the Speaker to be a random Activist by stating in a comment in the GNDT

Once per 48 hours, an activist who is the speaker may make a “Command” by making a blog with exactly one activists name and the name of exactly one valid order. The activist named in the blog post may “comply” with the Command by posting a comment with the text “command completed!” if they fulfill the order’s requirement. If they make a comment with “command denied” or do not comply with the command within 48 hours, they have rejected the command and gain 1 suspicion.

Append to the bulleted list in the rule “The Big Day” the following:

• +2 if the Activist filed an accurate Tip in the comments of the post at the following URL: https://blognomic.com/archive/whet_your_alibis

After the “+2 if the Activist is a Spook” bullet point in The Big Day, add another bullet point:-

* -1 for each point of Heat that the Activist has

In “The Big Day”, replace “If the Aftermath is in effect and if a single Activist has a higher Impact than every other Activist, then that Activist receives news coverage.” with:-

If the Aftermath is in effect and if a single Activist has a higher Impact than every other Activist, then that Activist achieves victory.

Replace “an Activist’s Impact can be calculated” with “an Activist’s Impact (a non-integer number) can be calculated”.

Add to the end of the bullet list in that rule:-

-0.01 for each other Activist who set their own Identity before the Activist set their own

Add to the rule “Activities” the following:

If an Activist is pursuing Absence, they may switch to pursuing to any other Activity as a Weekly Action.

Enact a new rule, “Heat”:-

Each Activist has an amount of Heat, tracked in the GNDT and defaulting to zero. Heat represents how much police attention an Activist has attracted.

If an Activist has proven their Loyalty to the Police or Government, they may reduce their Heat to zero at any time.

In “Activities”, replace “and changing their Activity to Absence” with:-

gaining 1 Heat, and changing their Activity to Absence

Remove the paragraph beginning “If no qualities of the Plan are undefined” from “The Plan”.

Create a new rule called “The Big Day”:-

If no qualities of the Plan are undefined, then the Plan is Ready. If the Plan is Ready and the current calendar date is the Plan’s Date, then it is the Big Day. Otherwise it is not. If the Plan is Ready and the current calendar date is after the Plan’s Date, then the Aftermath is in effect. Otherwise it is not.

If it is the Big Day, then the only dynastic actions that can be taken by Activists are the Revealing of Reports and the Proving of Loyalties. If the Aftermath is in effect, no dynastic actions may be taken except for calculating Impact.

During the Aftermath, an Activist’s Impact can be calculated by summing the following factors for that Activist:-

* The accuracy of the most recent Report filed by the Activist.
* +2 if the Activist is a Protestor who has never pursued Training.
* +2 if the Activist is a Militant who has never pursued Recon.
* +2 if the Activist is a Cop who has never pursued Construction.
* +2 if the Activist is a Spook who has never pursued Sabotage.

If the Aftermath is in effect and if a single Activist has a higher Impact than every other Activist, then that Activist receives news coverage.

To the third paragraph of “Loyalty”, add:-

A “Protestor” is an Activist who has proven a Loyalty to Peace, a “Militant” is one who has proven a Loyalty to Violence, a “Cop” is one who has proven a Loyalty to Police and a “Spook” is one who has proven a Loyalty to Government.

If the proposal “Things To Make And Do” has not been enacted, this proposal does nothing.

Add a subrule to the rule “Activities” called “Roles” as follows:

An Activist whose Loyalty is Peace may not pursue the Activity Training.

An Activist whose Loyalty is Violence may not pursue the Activity Recon.

An Activist whose Loyalty is Police may not pursue the Activity Construction.

An Activist whose Loyalty is Government may not pursue the Activity Sabotage.

To “The Plan”, add:-

If a pending proposal includes a proposed amendment to this rule, then votes cast on that proposal by Activists with blank Identities are ignored when determining whether the proposal is Popular or Unpopular.

Enact a new rule, “Activities”:-

Each Activist may be pursuing a single Activity, tracked in the GNDT and defaulting to not pursuing any Activity. The Activities are Planning, Recon, Training, Construction, Sabotage, Absence and Recovery.

An Activist who is not pursuing Absence or Recovery may change their own Activity as a daily action.

If no Activist has yet done so this dynasty, an Activist may call a Meeting by posting a blog entry to this effect. When a Meeting is called, the Plan’s chance of success is increased by X%, where X is five times the number of Activists pursuing Planning.

If no Activist has yet done so this dynasty and if the Plan’s Location is not undefined, then an Activist who is pursuing Recon may Take Photos by posting a blog entry to this effect and changing their Activity to Absence. This increases the Plan’s chance of success by 5%.

To “The Plan”, add:-

The Plan’s chance of success is a percentage between 0% and 100%. If an action would increase it above 100%, it is instead set to 100%. If an action would increase it below 0%, it is instead set to 0%.

Change the line in “The Plan” that reads “Date: undefined” to read:

Date: Monday, 12th November, 2018 CE

Add to the rule “Loyalties”:

Each pair of loyalties are either compatible or opposed. Peace and War are opposed. Police and Government are opposed. All other loyalty pairs are compatible.

An Activists Preference is a loyalty compatible with their original loyalty.

An Activists Sympathy is a string tracked in the GNDT, defaulting to nothing. At any time an Activist with a blank Sympathy may set their Sympathy to any string. For the purposes of all rules other than this one, an Activist’s Sympathy string is considered to be blank.

An Activist may prove their Preference by demonstrating that their Sympathy is the Hash of a grammatical English sentence of no more than 20 words which includes the name of a single Loyalty and no others. (The Hash of a sentence is the MD5 hash generated for it at [http://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php].)

if it exists, change:

An Activist with a blank Identity may not take dynastic actions other than the ones in this rule.

TO:

An Activist with a blank Identity or Sympathy may not take dynastic actions other than the ones in this rule.

To “Loyalty”, add:-

An Activist with a blank Identity may not take dynastic actions other than the ones in this rule.

Set the “Imperial Deferentials” and “Dynastic Distance” special rules to Inactive.

Add a rule named “Locations”:

Possible Locations for the Plan include: the Docks, City Hall, the University, or the Prison.

A Tip is a sentence of no more than 20 words that includes one of the possible Locations for the Plan (ignoring capitalization and articles). An Activist may File a Tip by posting the hash of it in a blog comment. Any Activist may Reveal a Tip which has already been Filed, by posting the original text of the Tip in a blog comment.

Enact a new rule, “The Plan”:-

The Plan has the following qualities, tracked in this rule:

* Location: undefined
* Date: undefined
* Team: undefined
* Equipment: undefined
* Cover story: undefined
* Chance of success: 0%

If no qualities of the Plan are undefined, and if the current calendar date is on or after the Plan’s Date, then the only dynastic action that can be taken by Activists is the Revealing of Reports.

If “A Little List” was not enacted, this proposal has no effect.

In “Reports”:
- Replace “A Report should also include a single English word at the end,” with “A Report should also include a single whole number at the end,”.
- Replace “An Activist may Reveal a Report which they have already Filed,” with “Any Activist may Reveal a Report which has already been Filed,”.

If “A Little List” was not enacted, this proposal has no effect.

In “Reports”:
- Replace “A Report should also include a single English word at the end,” with “A Report should also include a single English sentence at the end,”.
- Replace “An Activist may Reveal a Report which they have already Filed,” with “Any Activist may Reveal a Report which has already been Filed,”.

Enact a new rule, “Reports”:-

A Report is a list of Activists’ names, each Activist appearing no more than once in the list, and each name being immediately followed in brackets by a Loyalty, which is that Activist’s Suspected Loyalty. A Report should also include a single English word at the end, to prevent rival Activists from guessing at its contents.

An Activist may File a Report by posting the hash of it in a blog comment.

An Activist may Reveal a Report which they have already Filed, by posting the original text of the Report in a blog comment. Once it has been revealed, the Accuracy of such a Report is equal to the number of Activists listed in it whose Loyalty has not been shown to be different from the list’s Suspected Loyalty for them. The Accuracy of an unrevealed Report is zero.

Add a new dynastic rule called “Proposal Enactment” as follows:

During the current dynasty, enacting a Proposal is an atomic action.

Reword the sentence in the rule “Atomic Actions [Active]” that begins “When an Activist performs an Atomic Action, they must complete all its steps…” as follows:

When an Activist performs an Atomic Action, they must complete all its steps; they must complete them in order; and they may not take any other dynastic action, or achieve victory, until all such steps are complete.

Enact a new rule, “Loyalty”:-

The Loyalties in this world are Peace, Violence, Police and Government.

An Activist’s Identity is a string tracked in the GNDT, defaulting to nothing. At any time an Activist with a blank Identity may set their Identity to any string. For the purposes of all rules other than this one, an Activist’s Identity string is considered to be blank.

An Activist may prove their Loyalty by demonstrating that their Identity is the Hash of a grammatical English sentence of no more than 20 words which includes the name of a single Loyalty and no others. (The Hash of a sentence is the MD5 hash generated for it at http://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php.)

A master control anomaly somewhere in the depths of a server warehouse, and a glittering chain snaps, sending a spike and then a crash around the world, computers reacting and counter-reacting in milliseconds. Currencies veer and slide in the darkness, but as the sun breaks over the larger cities, the system begins to correct itself at a slow and human speed.

A response is drawn up, somewhere just off the grid. A ragged group gather around a trestle table in a squatted warehouse in a city where dawn is yet to break, and bring their plans forward.

Replace “Program” with “Activist” and “Flynn” with “Veteran”.

When processing the “set the energy of each program to the default” instruction of the Resting Energy proposal, I was - by my own choice - the first program to have their Energy set to the new default of 1. At that point, every other player had an Energy of zero. Their Energies were then also, in sequence, raised to 1.

Per the Energy Victory rule, “If the MCP is not currently being executed and if a Program has more Energy than every other Program combined, then that Program has achieved victory.” Although this was only true for a brief moment, it is true that I “have achieved victory in the current Dynasty”.

Card, Jumble and Trigon all idle out after a week’s inactivity. Quorum drops to 3 and with only four active players the game falls into Dormancy.

Change:

Each Program has a numerical amount of Energy, tracked in the GNDT and defaulting to zero

To:

Each Program has a numerical amount of Energy, tracked in the GNDT and defaulting to 1

set the energy of each program to the default.

Add the following to the runAccessCode function:

if(accessCode == ‘*’ && validActor()){
printLine("INC "+actingProgram );
printLine("INC " + randomPlayer());
printLine("SET "+ actingProgram +" INPUT TO "+randomPlayer().slice(0,2));
}

Add the following function to the Master Control Program:

function validActor(){
return checkIsNot(actingProgram,"__PROGRAM","Illegal execution! The name of the acting program is required.")
&& checkIsNot(getProgramInfo(actingProgram),undefined,"Illegal execution! the name of the acting program does not match an legal program")
}

Add the following function to the Master Control Program, after the closing curly brace of the function “randomChar()”:

function shuffleArray(a) {
    for (let i = a.length - 1; i > 0; i--) {
        const j = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));
        [a [ i ], a [ j ] ] = [a [ j ], a [ i ]];
    }
    return a;
}

Update the link “The Hardware” in the sidebar to point to https://jsfiddle.net/derrickthewhite/L6ebadys/4/

9spaceking idles out after eight days of inactivity. Quorum drops to 4.

Each Program has a numerical amount of Energy, tracked in the GNDT and defaulting to zero

Each Program has a numerical amount of Energy, tracked in the GNDT and defaulting to 2

All programs whose Cores are not breached have access to all programs whose cores are breached

var IO = `__IO`;

return firewall.map(row=>row.reduce((a,b)=>a+b)).reduce((a,b)=>a+"\n"+b);
}

*[SET ENTITY FIREWALL TO X] Set the firewall of the specified entity to the value stated in X

Create a subrule of the rule “Terminals” called “Root” as follows:

If any Program has access to all other Programs, and no other Program has access to all other Programs, that Program has achieved victory.

function moveCharCode(string,index,add){
return String.fromCharCode((string.charCodeAt(index)+add-33)%(126-33+1)+33)

printLine("SET "+row[3]+" OUTPUT TO "+newOutPut);
}
}

Enact a new rule, “Energy Victory”:-

Each Program has a numerical amount of Energy, tracked in the GNDT and defaulting to zero. If the MCP is not currently being executed and if a Program has more Energy than every other Program combined, then that Program has achieved victory.

Add two Operations to “Running the Program”:-

* [INC ENTITY] Increase the Entity’s Energy by 1.
* [DEC ENTITY] Decrease the Entity’s Energy by 1 (to a minimum of zero).

Delete the sentence beginning with “If a Program’s Login is the same of characters…” from the rule “Terminals.”

Create a subrule of the rule “Terminals” called “Access” as follows:

If a Program’s Login is the same set of characters as the Input state of another Program, then the former Program has access to the latter Program.

Access is transitive: that is, if a Program A has access to a Program B, and Program B has access to Program C, then Program A has access to Program C.

A Program may change their own Input state as a Daily Action.

If a Program has access to another Program, the former Program may change the latter Program’s Output state as a Daily Action. The daily limit on this action is considered to resolve on a per-Program-pairing basis; that is, if a Program A has access to Programs B and C, then Program A may take actions to change Program B’s Output state and Program C’s output state within the same day.

A program has a target, which is the name of a program defaulting to its owner, and tracked in the GNDT. A program may change their target as a daily action.

// END GLOBAL VARIABLE SECTION

The area in the Master Control Program between "// GLOBAL VARIABLE SECTION" and "// END GLOBAL VARIABLE SECTION" is known as the Global variable section.

Create a new rule entitled “Bleach” with the following text:

In the rule “Master Control Program”, any non-zero amount of whitespace can be replaced with any other non-zero amount of whitespace unless it is contained in quotes of any kind or backticks. Any player can perform this change at any time, but only should in order to bring internal consistency to the indentation of the said rule.

Within the text of the Master Control Program, move all function declarations up to the line below the line

var randomSeed = “__RANDOM”;

Reword the paragraph in the rule “Terminals” that begins “If a Program has never had their Input state set…” as follows:

A Program’s Login is the first two characters of their Blognomic player name. A Program’s Signature is the last two characters of their Blognomic player name.

If a Program has never had their Input state set, it defaults to their Login. If a Program has never had their Output state set, it defaults to their Signature.

If a Program’s Login is the same of characters as the Input state of another Program, then the former Program has access to the latter Program.

Add to the end of the MCP:

function checkIsNot(variable,value,errorMessage){
if(variable == value){
printLine(errorMessage);
return false;
}
return true;
}
function inputIsValid(){
return
checkIsNot(GNDT,`__GNDT`,"Illegal execution? A GNDT dump must be provided.") &&

change:

printLine("Illegal execution? A GNDT dump must be provided.");
} else {

to:

if(inputIsValid()){

Blank the contents of the I/O Tower and repeal “Fire Walls”.

Create a rule named “Formatting”:

curly quotes are equivalent to strait quotes, and curly quotes in the ruleset may be changed to strait quotes by any program at any time.

In the Master Control Program, surround:

var GNDT = `__GNDT`;
accessCode = “__INPUT”
var MCPOutput = “”;
var GNDTArray = [];

With:

// GLOBAL VARIABLE SECTION

one line above it and

//END GLOBAL VARIABLE SECTION

one line below it.

create a function at the bottom of the Master Control Program:

function runAccessCodes(){
//accessCode
}

in the Master Control Program, move all if statements starting with:

if (accessCode ==

ignoring whitespace, to immediately beneath ‘//accessCode’

insert

runAccessCodes();

in the location of the first if statement moved by this proposal

Make a new rule titled “Equipment” with the text

Equipment is represented by the characters in a Fire Wall. Equipment is written the ruleset in the following manner “[representing character]—[name]; [ruletext of that equipment]”. An equipment is considered powered when it is adjacent (in 8 non-wrapping directions) to a power supply or to a power line that is powered.

The text “⏻” is equivalent to “When the Master Control Program is Executed and this equipment is powered, the following happens:

* x—CPU;
* o—empty space;
* p—power supply; this equipment is considered powered.
* l—power line;

Amend “Running the Program” by doing the following:
  Change the text:

      https://jsfiddle.net/L6ebadys/1/

  to read:

      https://jsfiddle.net/derrickthewhite/L6ebadys/4/

  Change the text:

      into the “JavaScript + jQuery 3.3.1” section of the Hardware, with the cursor at line 1

  to read:

      in between the two lines beginning with “//” in the bottom-left section of the Hardware

  Remove the bullet point beginning:

      Press the “Run the Master Control Program” button

Amend “Master Control Program” by removing the line that contains the text:

  var MCPOutput = “”;

and by adding a line immediately after “var GNDTArray = [];”:

var randomSeed = “__RANDOM”;

and by adding a line immediately before “var GNDTLines = GNDT.split(”\n”);”:

Math.seedrandom(randomSeed);

Add to the bulleted list in “Preprocessor”:

*__RANDOM is replaced by a random number from the GNDT by rolling DICE54321.

if (accessCode == "x") {
GNDTArray.forEach(function(row) {
printLine("RESET "+row[0]);
});
}

Add the following paragraph to the section of the rules titled “Fire Walls”:

Every * character in a Program’s Fire Wall counts as one point towards that Program’s Score.

Add a new Dynastic Rule titled “Gaining Points” with the following text:

Within fourty-eight hours of a Program’s output being modified, that Program may change any character in their Fire Wall to * if their new output is the abbreviation for any element on the periodic table of elements. This action may only be performed once by a Program each time their output is modified.

Amend “Running the Program” by doing the following:

1. Change the text:

   https://jsfiddle.net/L6ebadys/1/

   to read:

   https://jsfiddle.net/L6ebadys/2/

2. Change the text:

   into the “JavaScript + jQuery 3.3.1” section of the Hardware, with the cursor at line 1

   to read:

   in between the two lines beginning with “//” in the bottom-left section of the Hardware

3. Remove the bullet point beginning:

   Press the “Run the Master Control Program” button

Amend “Master Control Program” by removing the line that contains the text:

var MCPOutput = “”;

add the following rule named “languages”:

When a user writes code for this dynasty, they may borrow other official computer programming languages recognized by Wikipedia, including but not limited to C++, Java, Python, to name a few examples. This code must compile and run under the language’s standards. If a single command has multiple interpretations, then the user must specify what language it is for, otherwise, the command is invalid. A code may also determine the winner of this dynasty, but it must pass quorum votes first.

HTML and CSS feels a little bit limited. I hope that other languages with the more powerful if statements, C++‘s pointers, Swift’s Guard, etc., can help provide more interesting methods and functions to boost this dynasty forward.

After the third line in the Master Control Program, add:-

accessCode = “__INPUT”

Add to the Preprocessor bullet list:-

__INPUT may optionally be replaced with any single character from the Input state of the Program which is executing the Master Control Program.

if (accessCode == “c”) {

A Program may Execute the Master Control Program as a daily action.

add the following subrule under “fire walls”:

Each program may design any amount of “consoles” for a specific purpose, which are listed here: destruction, creation, utility, movement. A program cannot do a purpose unless they have a console for that purpose. Each console is represented as a 2-by-2 ascii character block with the same character as the first character of the purpose. At least one of these characters must be adjacent to the starting program. The consoles are defined by their programming, and must be programmed in the same language as the Master Control Program, and compile and run successfully, in order to be used.

Replace the text of “Master Control Program” with the following:

// MASTER CONTROL PROGRAM

var GNDT = `__GNDT`;
var MCPOutput = "";
var GNDTArray = [];

if (GNDT == "__" + "GNDT") {
  printLine("Illegal execution? A GNDT dump must be provided.");
