Pease idle me, I have some real life stuff going on right now and I don’t have the mental capacity to keep track of BN right now..

If https://blognomic.com/archive/the_gods_must_be_cresi fails, this proposal does nothing

If it exists, remove the text “, and may set the Cresi Cube of another Maestro Team Member to powered as a daily action” from “Maestro Missions”

add the following to “Maestro Missions”

The date and time each Maestro Team Member last performed a Cresi Action is publicly tracked. A Maestro Team Member is In Line if they have performed a Cresi Action and their Cresi Cube is unpowered. If there is an In Line Maestro Team Member, the one who least recently performed a Cresi Action is In Front (otherwise no one is In Front). If there is an In Front Maestro Team Member, any Maestro Team Member who is not that Maestro Team Member may as a daily action set the In Front Maestro Team Member’s Cresi Cube to be powered.

If the proposal at https://blognomic.com/archive/the_gods_must_be_cresi did not pass, this proposal does nothing. Otherwise:

Change “A Maestro Team Member may change their Focus as a daily action.” to “A Maestro Team Member may change their Focus as a Cresi action.”

If https://blognomic.com/archive/the_gods_must_be_cresi fails, this proposal does nothing

If it exists, remove the text “, and may set the Cresi Cube of another Maestro Team Member to powered as a daily action” from “Maestro Missions”

add the following to “Maestro Missions”

The date and time each Maestro Team Member last performed a Cresi Action is publicly tracked. A Maestro Team Member is In Line if they have performed a Cresi Action and their Cresi Cube is unpowered. If there is an In Line Maestro Team Member, the one who least recently performed a Cresi Action is In Front (otherwise no one is In Front). If there is an In Front Maestro Team Member, any Maestro Team Member who is not that Maestro Team Member may set the In Front Maestro Team Member’s Cresi Cube to be powered.

In “Maestro Missions”, remove the text “, and may set the Cresi Cube of another Maestro Team Member to powered as a daily action”.

Reword the paragraph of the rule “Maestro Missions” which begins “A Maestro Team Member may not have as a Focus any Parallel Dynasty in which their name appears…” as follows:

A Maestro Team Member who selects as a Focus any Parallel Dynasty in which their name appears, either on the player list on the history page or as Emperor, risks creating a quantum paradox and erasing themselves from the prime universe. If and only if the Focus of a given Maestro Team Member is any such Parallel Dynasty, then that Maestro Team Member is Disobedient.

Create a new subrule of “Maestro Missions” entitled “Paradox” as follows:

Each Maestro Team Member has a measurable amount of Paradox from the prime universe, which is a nonnegative real number, and which is publicly tracked.

If a Maestro Team Member has the highest Paradox score among Persona, then that Member is Unstable. If a Maestro Team Member would achieve victory while Unstable, they instead do not achieve it.

If there is a rule entitled “Variance” then append to the rule “Paradox” the following:

As a Daily Action, the Space Maestro may either multiply by 1.5 the Paradox of each Disobedient Maestro Team Member, or increase each Disobedient Maestro Team Member’s Paradox by the Variance of the Parallel Dynasty which is that Team Member’s Focus.

Add the following to the end of the rule Maestro Missions:

Maestro Team Members interact with parallel dynasty energy by use of a device each of them possess called a Cresi Cube, which may be powered or unpowered (which is publicly tracked, and which defaults to powered). Some actions are Cresi Actions; a given Cresi Action may be undertaken no more than once every 48 hours, and only when the user’s Cresi Cube is powered. Carrying out any Cresi Action sets its user’s Cresi Cube to unpowered. A Maestro Team Member may set their Cresi Cube to powered once every 72 hours, and may set the Cresi Cube of another Maestro Team Member to powered as a daily action.

In the same rule, change “A Maestro Team Member may change their Focus as a Cresi Action.”

In the rule Parallel Blognomic, change “As a weekly action” to “As a Cresi Action”.

Add a new dynastic rule, called Variance:

Each Parallel Dynasty has a Variance score, which may be tracked on their history pages.

A Parallel Dynasty’s Variance score is defined as follows:

* Each Parallel Dynasty has a starting Variance score of zero;
* 1 is added if it has a different Emperor from the Prime Dynasty it varies from;
* 1 is added if a different player wins that parallel dynasty, compared to the Prime Dynasty it varies from (where “winning” the parallel dynasty here is defined as “is the Emperor of the subsequent parallel dynasty”)
* 1 is added if the theme is different from the Prime Dynasty it varies from

In “Maestro Missions”, replace “A Maestro Team Member may not have as a Focus any Parallel Dynasty in which their name appears, either on the player list on the history page or as Emperor, for fear of creating a quantum paradox and destroying the universe.” with:-

Each Persona has a publicly-tracked Paradox score, measuring how much the forces of the Prime Dynasties have altered their personal timeline. If a Maestro Team Member has the highest Paradox score among Persona, then that Member is Unstable. If a Maestro Team Member would achieve victory while Unstable, they instead do not achieve it.

Whenever a Maestro Team Member changes their Focus to a Parallel Dynasty in which their name appears, either on the player list on the history page or as Emperor, they must also increase their Paradox score by 1.

In “Parallel BlogNomic”, replace “Set that name to be the Emperor of the parallel dynasty being discovered.” with:-

The Maestro Team Member may either set the Emperor of the parallel dynasty being discovered to the generated name, or (if they also gain 3 Paradox themselves) set it to their own name.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Paralleliser Seeds:

The [[Dynasty Data]] page holds seeds that can be used to generate parallel universe data in the Paralleliser. Those seeds can only be amended as described in this rule.

The list on the [[Dynasty Data]] page headed Emperors may be referred to as the Emperor Seed List. By default it contains the names of every Emperor from Prime Dynasties 101 to 199, returning ‘None’ for metadynasties and ‘Coregency’ for the Alice in Wonderland Coregency, and the name of every Emperor from every parallel dynasty that has been discovered; if at any time it does not have the contents thus described then any Maestro Team Member or the Space Maestro may update it accordingly.

The list on the [[Dynasty Data]] page headed Themes may be referred to as the Theme Seed List. By default it contains the names of the themes of every Prime Dynasty numbered between 101 and 199 and every parallel dynasty that has been discovered, in the format for ‘The x Dynasty’, where x is usually (but not necessarily) a noun or noun phrase (with the exception of the Alice in Wonderland Coregency, which is styled as such); if at any time it does not have the contents thus described then any Maestro Team Member or the Space Maestro may update it accordingly.

In the Dynasty Data page, remove ‘, 101-199’ from any headings where it appears, and in the rule Parallel BlogNomic chance ‘a seed list of Emperors (101-199) list from the Dynasty Data page’ to ‘the Emperor Seed List’ and ‘a seed list of Themes (101-199) list from the Dynasty Data page’ to ‘the Theme Seed List’.

Sorry this is so late, but MadisonSilver is to be mentored by Brendan.

In the rule “Dynastic Discretion”, replace “a random selection which is judged to be in poor taste or offensive” with:-

a random selection which is judged to be in poor taste, offensive or of a format which bears no resemblance to the items on the input list

In “Parallel BlogNomic”, replace “and hit ‘Generate’.” with:-

and repeatedly hit ‘Generate’ until the Paralleliser returns a list of five or more items that bear a resemblance to the items on the input list.

Add Kevan’s name to the Temporal Footprint of the Tenth Parallel Dynasty of Kevan

Add Clucky’s name to the Temporal Footprint of the First Parallel Dynasty of Moonbeam

Add Brendan’s name to the Temporal Footprint of the First Parallel Dynasty of RaichuKFM

In the ruleset replace

A parallel dynasty’s history page may also contain the terms synonymous with “Emperor” and “Player” for that dynasty. As a weekly action, a Maestro Team Member may perform the following atomic action known as Term Research
* Pick a parallel dynasty they are not associated with
* Use the Paralleliser with a seed list of Emperor Terms (101-199) list from the [[Dynasty Data]] page to generate an Emperor Term. Set the Term synonymous with “Emperor” for the selected parallel dynasty to be the generated emperor term.
* Use the Paralleliser with a seed list of Player Terms (101-199) list from the [[Dynasty Data]] page to generate a Player Term. Set the Term synonymous with “Player” for the selected parallel dynasty to be the generated player term.
* Add the name of the Maestro Team Member performing this action to the Temporal footprint of the selected parallel dynasty.

with

A parallel dynasty’s history page may also contain the terms synonymous with “Emperor” and “Player” for that dynasty.

As a weekly action, a Maestro Team Member may perform the following atomic action known as Ascension Research
* Pick a parallel dynasty they are not associated with which does not have an Ascension Text
* Use https://textsynth.com/playground.html with the same settings when using the Paralleliser and with starting text of “Welcome to XXX.” where “XXX” is the selected dynasty’s theme. Set the Ascension Text of the chosen dynasty to be the result (including the bolded text).
* Pick appropriate “Emperor” and “Player” terms for the chosen dynasty and set the synonymous terms for that dynasty accordingly
* Add the name of the Maestro Team Member performing this action to the Temporal footprint of the selected parallel dynasty.

Add a subrule entitled “Dynastic Discretion” to the rule “Parallel BlogNomic” as follows:

If the use of the Paralleliser leads to a random selection which is judged to be in poor taste or offensive, the Maestro Team Member may redo the random selection step in question to produce an alternative outcome.

Add a new subrule to the rule Parallel Blognomic, called Multidimensional Personhood:

All Maestro Team Members and idle Maestro Team Members may be referred to, collectively, as Prime Players. Any entity who is named as a player or Emperor in a parallel dynasty who has never played in a Prime or Locked dynasty may be referred to as a Parallel Player.

In the rule Parallel Dynastic Histories, change “an Ascension Text, up to three Key Proposals, a short paragraph summarising how that dynasty was won, and some Player Recollections” to “an Ascension Text, a list of active Players in that dynasty, up to three Key Proposals, a short paragraph summarising how that dynasty was won, and some Player Recollections”.

Add the following as a subrule to the rule Parallel Dynastic Histories, called Parallel Player Lists:

If a parallel dynastic history page doesn’t have a list of players (a ‘parallel list’) then any Maestro Team Member may add it, by carrying out the following atomic action:

* Add the Emperor of that parallel dynasty and the Emperor of the subsequent parallel dynasty to the player list;
* If the Prime Dynasty with the same number as that parallel dynasty has a player list on its dynastic history page (the ‘prime list’), roll DICE10 for each player named in that list; add each player whose result was not a 1 to the player list;
* For each player from the Prime list omitted from the parallel list in the second stage of this atomic action, randomly select one extant parallel player and add them to the parallel list.
* Optionally, add one or two new parallel players to the parallel list, by Using the Paralleliser with the existing list compiled so far in this atomic action as the seed list.

Add the following as a new rule to the ruleset, called Maestro Missions:

Each Maestro Team Member may have a Focus, which is publicly tracked, defaults to blank, and which much otherwise be a single parallel dynasty. A Maestro Team Member may change their Focus as a daily action.

A Maestro Team Member may not have as a Focus any Parallel Dynasty in which their name appears, either on the player list on the history page or as Emperor, for fear of creating a quantum paradox and destroying the universe.

Enact a new rule, “Personas”:-

Every Maestro Team Member is a Persona. A Persona also exists for each uniquely named Emperor among the parallel dynasties, where that Emperor’s name is not an empty string and is not the name of a Maestro Team Member.

All Personas may have an Alliance and be included in Alliances as if they were Maestro Team Members.

If a rule called “SCP Ratings” exists, replace “Maestro Team Member” with “Persona” in that rule, then replace “Member” with “Persona” in that rule.

While the idea of time-travel may be fun, I find it gives me more headaches than enjoyment. Have fun, y’all; I know I will, watching from the sidelines. @ me when 201 starts.

Add the following as a subrule to the rule Parallel BlogNomic, if it exists, called Temporal Footprints:

Each parallel universe dynasty has a Temporal Footprint which is a publicly tracked list of names of (possibly idle) Maestro Team Members, and by default is empty.

A Maestro Team Members is said to be associated with a parallel universe dynasty if their name appears as an entry in that dynasties Temporal Footprint.

Add the following to the atomic action in which a Maestro Team Member may learn of a parallel universe dynasty:

* Add the name of the Maestro Team Member performing this action to the Temporal footprint of the parallel dynasty being discovered.

Add the following to “Parallel Dynastic Histories”, but only if it exists and https://blognomic.com/archive/streamlined_generation passed

A parallel dynasty’s history page may also contain the terms synonymous with “Emperor” and “Player” for that dynasty. As a weekly action, a Maestro Team Member may perform the following atomic action known as Term Research
* Pick a parallel dynasty they are not associated with
* Use the Paralleliser with a seed list of Emperor Terms (101-199) list from the [[Dynasty Data]] page to generate an Emperor Term. Set the Term synonymous with “Emperor” for the selected parallel dynasty to be the generated emperor term.
* Use the Paralleliser with a seed list of Player Terms (101-199) list from the [[Dynasty Data]] page to generate a Player Term. Set the Term synonymous with “Player” for the selected parallel dynasty to be the generated player term.
* Add the name of the Maestro Team Member performing this action to the Temporal footprint of the selected parallel dynasty.

Add a subrule entitled “Archives” to the rule “Prioritisation” as follows:

This document is considered to be, in effect, the only Ruleset for BlogNomic, so long as it is located at at the URL https://wiki.blognomic.com/index.php?title=Ruleset.

Add a new rule, “SCP Ratings”:-

Each Maestro Team Member has a publicly-tracked SCP Rating, consisting of a publicly-tracked string of three numerals which defaults to 000. This represents the Member’s playing style and skill at Nomic in the parallel universe: the first digit represents the player’s Inclination for Scams, the second their Inclination for Conventional Play, and the third their Inclination for Pooling.

Add the following as a subrule to the rule Parallel BlogNomic, if it exists, called Parallel Dynastic Histories:

Each parallel dynasty may have a dynastic history page on the wiki. A Maestro Team Member may create a history page for a parallel dynasty by linking to an empty, appropriately-titled wiki page (which should, if possible, have a title that takes the format of “The xth parallel dynasty of y” where x is the dynasty’s ordinal and y is the dynasty’s emperor) from that parallel dynasty’s entry in gamestate tracking; once they have done so, that page becomes gamestate.

A parallel dynasty’s history page may contain some, none or all of the following elements: an Ascension Text, up to three Key Proposals, a short paragraph summarising how that dynasty was won, and some Player Recollections. None of these elements may be added to the page except as described by the Ruleset.

Add a new dynastic rule to the ruleset, called Parallel BlogNomic:

Each Dynasty of BlogNomic numbered between 101 (“The Third Machine of scshunt”) and 199 (“The Second Dynasty of Jumble”) - referred to as the Prime Dynasties - may have up to one parallel dynasty. These are publicly tracked. Each dynasty of BlogNomic numbered between 1 and 100 is referred to as a Locked Dynasty.

Each parallel universe dynasty must have a number (which is the same as the number of the Prime Dynasty it is associated with), an ordinal (a non-negative ordinal integer defaulting to First), an Emperor, and a theme, which is flavour text.

The Paralleliser is a tool used by Maestro Team Members to divine the properties of parallel dynasties; it can be found here: https://textsynth.com/playground.html. Theme and Emperor paste-data can be found on the following page: [[Dynasty data]]. As a weekly action, a Maestro Team Member may learn of a parallel universe dynasty, which is an atomic action with the following steps:

* Select the numerically first Prime Dynasty with no existing parallel dynasties; set the number of the parallel dynasty being discovered to the number of that Prime Dynasty.
* Open the Paralleliser. Set the Model to GPT-NeoX, the top-k to 400, the top-p to 0.9, the temperature to 1.0 and the max tokens to 200, leaving the ‘stop at’ field blank. Paste the Emperors (101-199) list from the [[Dynasty Data]] page into the text box and hit ‘Generate’.
* Randomly select one of the generated names (ignoring the text in bold, which simply replicates your initial input, and the last line of its output). Set that name to be the Emperor of the parallel dynasty being discovered.
* Set the ordinal for the discovered parallel dynasty as follows: if the name in the Emperor field for this parallel dynasty has appeared before, either in another preceding parallel dynasty or in a Locked Dynasty, then the ordinal for this dynasty is one higher than it was in the most recent such other dynasty in which that name appears as Emperor (e.g. if the name for a new parallel dynasty is Dibjutor, and there is a pre-existing dynasty with an ordinal of third, then the new dynasty will have an ordinal of fourth); otherwise it is the default.
* In the Paralleliser (using the same settings as in step 2), paste the Themes (101-199) list from the [[Dynasty Data]] page into the text box and hit ‘Generate’. Randomly select one of the generated themes (ignoring the text in bold, which simply replicates your initial input, and the last line of its output). Set that theme to be the theme of the parallel dynasty being discovered.

As he had done every morning for the past one hundred dynasties, the Time Buddha sat on the stoop of the End of Time Vihara and cradled a hot cut of yerba mate. It gave him calm, looking out into an infinite void in which nothing, by definition, could ever happen. All that happened out there was the long, plodding march towards thermal equilibrium, and it was his job to watch it, so he did, with a mug of yerba mate and a song in his heart.

Today, however, something unexpectedly happened, right next to where he was sitting.

“Hello”, said the thing that had happened.

“Hello,” said the Time Buddha. “You look exactly like me.”

“That makes sense,” said the thing that had happened, which was indeed a person. “You’re the Time Buddha, correct?”

“Well, I’ve been thinking about that,” said the Time Buddha, with the pent-up energy of a person who had been stewing on something since 2012. “Is it really okay for me to be? I don’t know. The conversations around this stuff, man. It all seems really vexed, and it’s got a lot of heat to it, but, I mean, it’s true, we are really just using the symbols as exoticist set-dressing for…”

“My time here really is limited,” said the other person.

“It’s just, it may or may not be problematic, I don’t know, who am I to say, but either way it just feels like it’s in poor taste.”

“I’m with you. In which case, let me introduce myself… You are the Time… shall we say Maestro? You are the Time Maestro and so I am the Space Maestro, overseeing probability and the multiverse and all that kind of thing.”

“Pleased to meet you, Space Maestro,” said the Time Maestro.

“Likewise,” said the Space Maestro.

“So what brings you here?”

“Oh, BlogNomic. Obviously. Every plane of existence and every dimension of possibility has some sort of issue with BlogNomic sooner or later. It’s a constant. But now the timeline of BlogNomic is so destabilised that it threatened the very fabric of reality itself, so I’m gathering Maestros into a kind of Maestro Team. Most of it has been really cool and cinematic, it’s a shame we’re not getting some of that stuff, the good action stuff, but you know how it goes, you’re a callback character and audiences love that.”

“So it’s a kind of Crisis on Infinite BlogNomics?”

“About a hundred BlogNomics, but yes.”

“Only a hundred? Okay, that seems doable,” said the Time Maestro, throwing back the last of his tea. “How do we fix it?”

Repeal all dynastic rules. In the rule Synonyms, change the player term to Maestro Team Member and the Emperor term to Space Maestro. Set Dynastic Distance to Active, set the Dynastic Tracking page to [[BN Wiki Main page]], set Mantle Limitations to Active, and set Alliances to Active.

I hate to do this so quickly after I have joined, but I wish to be idled.

I may come back later, to play at some other time when I’m bored, but at the moment I must say goodbye.

Enact a subrule to “Characters” entitled “Character Movement” as follows:

When the Board Historian makes a move on the Board, they may also, simultaneously, add the Icon of any Character of their choosing to exactly one other cell that contains no other symbols or Icons (removing ‘_’ if it is in that cell).

In “The Grid”, change

Set each cell on the board to blank

to

Remove all Symbols from all cells on the board

Enact a rule entitled “Dynastic Victory” as follows:

If and only if a player has at least 10 Deeds, and has more Deeds than each other player, then that player may take the following atomic action:
* Change the Grid Size to an integer of their choosing
* Re-draw the board to match the Grid Size
* Set each cell on the board to blank
* Add their Symbol to any and all Cells they choose (removing ‘_’ from each such Cell)
* Achieve victory in the Second Dynasty of Jumble

In the rule The Grid, make the following changes:

Change “Re-draw the board to match the Grid Size” to “Increment or Decrement the Grid, as needed, to make the Grid match the Grid Size”
Change “Set each cell on the board to blank” to “Set each cell on the board that does not contain a Building to blank”.
To the paragraph that starts “When the Grid is Decremented”, add the following at the end of the paragraph:

When the Grid is Decremented, any Symbols, Buildings or other gamestate entities that occupied one of the cells that have been removed ceases to occupy any Cell on the Grid.

Whenever the Grid is Incremented or Decremented, the XY references to each remaining Cell on the Grid are updated as per the third paragraph of this rule, and any Symbols, Buildings or other gamestate entities on the Grid whose location was being tracked by use of such references have their references updated.

If Proposal “Coins and Bonus things(Take 2)” passes,

Change “positive integer” to “non-negative integer”

Replace the second paragraph of “The Grid” with

Tic-Tac-Toe is a game that is played on a Grid which is split into a number of rounds. In a game of Tic Tac Toe, each Player uses their Symbol. Provided they have not already made a move within the last 20 hours and within the current round, a Player can make one move. A valid move consists of adding your symbol to exactly one free cell (removing ‘_’ if it is in that cell).

In the same rule replace

In ‘Dynastic Rules’ in section ‘Deeds’,

Add subsection ‘Coins’ with the description:

Each player has a positive integer of Coins, defaulting to 0 and are publicly tracked. As a daily action for a Player that can not be partaken within 48 hours of the of the last time this action has taken by that Player, that Player may reduce their Coins by 20 and then increase their Deeds by 1.

AND

In ‘Dynastic Rules’ in section ‘Deeds’,

Add subsection ‘Bonus Coins Play’ with the description:

While Players are plotting Symbols in Tic Tac Town, Player can build Structures. Structures are defined as “[Name] - [Cost]; [Reward]” and are listed below in this subsection. The ‘Cost’ of the Structure is denoted as the parameters to build it. Once a Player has successfully gotten all the parameters of a give Structure, that player may turn all of their Symbols used for accomplishing the parameters to blanks and apply the ‘Reward’. The ‘Reward’ is denoted as Coins the Player Gains or a bonus action the Player must do, or a combination of both.

Brendan set up the new round/game of tic tac toe incorrectly; it should be 6x6 rather than 7x7.

The rules on fixing AAs are a bit of a mess; the rule Atomic Actions says “If one or more steps of an Atomic Action were done incorrectly, the Player must redo the Atomic Action; for that purpose, the Player uses any legal steps that have already been completed in the illegal Atomic Action and only redoes the illegal ones” - which suggests that only Brendan can fix it. However, representations of the gamestate says “Alter the representation to match what they believe to be the correct application of an incorrectly-applied alteration. This may include completing incomplete actions on behalf of the original Player, if doing so would not require the correcting Player to make any decisions on behalf of the original Player”. Priority between the two clauses is a little unclear - arguably Brendan’s action isn’t incomplete, it’s incorrect. All of that could use fixing.

This isn’t going to fix anything, though; this just gets the game moving again.

Uphold Brendan’s reset action performed at 03:23, 20 February 2022, and assert that that action has been correctly completed; if Brendan has otherwise completed that action since the posting of this CfJ, then carry out no further action as in this enactment. Uphold my correction of that reset action, performed on 10:13, 20 February 2022, and any subsequent, otherwise legal play actions on that Grid. Uphold Clucky’s move on 07:44, 20 February 2022‎. This CfJ explicitly does not uphold my action of 07:56, 20 February 2022‎, which is to be resolved under a separate votable matter.

At present, the ruleset uses the terms “game” and “round” pretty interchangably to describe tic tac toe. This has led to a difference in interpretation between Clucky and myself. He thinks that the ruleset defines games of tic tac toe and implies that rounds exist as a different category of entity, despite not being defined in the ruleset; I think that the ruleset treats them as synonyms. This CfJ establishes the second reading.

Treat cell C3 as having my Symbol in it as of 07:56, 20 February 2022. In the rule The Grid, after the clause ‘Tic-Tac-Toe is a game that is played on a Grid”, add ‘that is played in rounds’. Change every subsequent use of the word ‘game’ in that rule to ‘round’

Uphold the cell C3 as being empty as of Sun 20/02/22, 09:05:05 and that any moves on the grid which were in in violation of the rules around daily actions (due to them being performed within the same game, even if a new round began) as having ben illegally performed

Wherever the word “point” appears in the Dynastic Rules, replace it with the word “Deed.”

If there are any players with points, set those points to 0.

Give the player Brendan 1 Deed.

Reword “Characters” to the following:

Characters are publicly-tracked entities that have a name, an Icon, which can be any unicode character, and a Hierarchy Level, which defaults to “None” and can be one of the following: “None, Safety, Belonging, Esteem, Self-Actualization, Transcendence”. As a Weekly Action, the Board Historian may create a new Character with an Icon that is neither an existing Symbol nor an existing Icon, and a name of their choosing that is not the name of any Player or any word that exists in the ruleset.

Re-write the first 7 paragraphs of The Grid to the following:

The Grid is a publicly tracked 7x7 grid, where each cell defaults to the blank string.  Blank cells may be represented by the symbol U+005F (“_”).  Each individual cell on The Grid may be referred to as “Cell XY”, where Y is the number of the row it sits on (ordered from top to bottom) and X is the letter of the English alphabet with the index of the column the cell sits on (ordered from left to right).

Tic-Tac-Toe is a game that is played on The Grid.  As a daily action, a Player can make one move. A valid move consists of adding your symbol to exactly one cell that contains no other symbols (removing ‘_’ if it is in that cell).

When a Player forms an unbroken vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row of three or more of their symbol anywhere on the board, the round ends, and the player that formed a complete row gains 1 Deed. If it is impossible for any player to make a valid move, the round ends and nobody gains a deed.

Once a round ends, any player may Reset the board by performing the following atomic action:
- Remove all Symbols from all Cells
- Start a new round

In ‘Dynastic Rules’ in section ‘Deeds’,

Add subsection ‘Coins’ with the description:

Each player has a positive integer of Coins, defaulting to 0 and are publicly tracked. As a daily action that can not be partaken within 48 hours of the of the last time this action has happened, a Player may reduce their Coins by 20 and then increase their Deeds by 1.

AND

In ‘Dynastic Rules’ in section ‘Deeds’,

Add subsection ‘Bonus Coins Play’ with the description:

While Players are building Buildings in Tic Tac Town, Player can build Structures. Structures are defined as “[Name] - [Cost]; [Reward]” and are listed below in this subsection. The ‘Cost’ of the Structure is denoted as the parameters to build it. Once a Player has successfully gotten all the parameters of a give Structure, that player may turn all the Buildings used for accomplishing the parameters to blanks and apply the ‘Reward’. The ‘Reward’ is denoted as Coins the Player Gains or a bonus action the Player must do, or a combination of both.

Rewrite the rule Characters as follows:

Characters are publicly-tracked entities that have a name, an Icon, which can be any unicode character, and a Disposition, which may only hold Symbols and is blank by default. As a Weekly Action, the Board Historian may create a new Character with an Icon that is neither an existing Symbol nor an existing Icon, and a name of their choosing that is not the name of any Player or any word that exists in the ruleset.

As a daily action, a Player may carry out one of the following two actions: they may either add their own Symbol to the Disposition of a single Character, or they may add the Icon of a Character to an empty cell in the Grid of the current game.

When a Character’s Icon occupies a Cell in the Grid then, for the purposes of matching Symbols, it counts as every Symbol in its Disposition simultaneously.

In the rule The Grid, change the fourth paragraph to read as follows:

When one or more Players form an unbroken vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row of three or more of their Symbol anywhere on the board, the round ends, and the player or players that formed a complete row gain 1 Deed. If it is impossible for any player to make a valid move, the round ends and nobody gains a Deed.

Create a new rule called “Jumbucks” as follows:

Each player has a number of Jumbucks, which is publicly tracked. At any time, a player may spend 1 Deed to gain 100 Jumbucks.

Set the player Clucky’s Jumbucks to be 10.

well it’s not BROKEN broken but its going to be real annoying to play the game like this

Sorry for leaving so soon in a new dynasty, but the next week or two are crammed for me. Promise I’ll be back soon.

Repeal the rule Tic-Tac-Toe Rules. Rewrite the rule The Grid as follows:

The Grid Size is a publicly tracked positive integer that defaults to half the number of Active Players rounded up.

Tic-Tac-Toe is a game that is played on a Grid. In a game of Tic Tac Toe, each Player uses their Symbol. All active players of BlogNomic are players of all games of Tic Tac Toe. For any ongoing game of Tic Tac Toe, as a Daily Action, a Player can make one move. A valid move consists of adding your symbol to exactly one cell that contains no other symbols (removing ‘_’ if it is in that cell).

A Grid in a game of Tic Tac Toe is a publicly tracked grid of NxN cells, where N is the Grid Size, and each cell defaults to blank. Blank cells may be represented by the symbol U+005F (“_”). Each individual cell on The Grid may be referred to as “Cell XY”, where Y is the number of the row it sits on (ordered from top to bottom) and X is the letter of the English alphabet with the index of the column the cell sits on (ordered from left to right).

When a Player forms an unbroken vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row of three or more of their symbol anywhere on the board, the round ends, and the player that formed a complete row gains 1 point. If it is impossible for any player to make a valid move, the round ends and nobody gains a point.

When the Grid is Incremented, the following atomic action is performed: The Grid Size increases by 1. To make the Grid match the new grid size, a new row of empty cells is randomly added to either the top or bottom of the grid, then a new of column of cells is randomly added to the left or right of the grid.

When the Grid is Decremented, the following atomic action is performed: If the Grid Size is 1 nothing happens. Otherwise, the Grid Size is decreased by 1. To make the Grid match the new grid size, either the top most or bottom most row is randomly removed from the grid, then either the left most or right most column is randomly removed from the grid.

Once a round ends, any player may Reset the board by performing the following atomic action:

* Reset the Grid Size to its default value
* Re-draw the board to match the Grid Size
* Set each cell on the board to blank
* Start a new round

If Proposal: Rounders (1998) was not enacted then immediately carry out the Reset the Board atomic action.

If Proposal: Boardtown was enacted then carry out the following:

Add the following as a subrule to the rule The Grid, called Grid Occupancy:

A cell is considered free if it is empty or if it has less symbols than the maximum occupancy of a building associated with that Cell. If a cell has exactly as many symbols as the maximum occupancy of the building associated with it (or 1 if there is no building associated with it), it is considered full. If a cell has more symbols than would be considered full, it is invalid. If a cell is invalid, any player may set it to empty.

If “Tic Tac Town” was enacted, replace ‘points’ throughout this proposal with ‘deeds’ and ‘point’ with ‘deed’ (ignoring capitalization).

Add a new dynastic rule, titled “Side-Betting” that reads:

Each player has a wager, which is a publicly tracked integer. As a daily action, a player may reduce their number of points by 1 and increase their wager by 1.

Each player has a Lock, which is publicly tracked, is either empty or a string containing the name of an active BlogNomic player. and defaults to empty. A player may update their Lock to read the name of any active BlogNomic player as a daily action. If a player’s Lock is invalid, then any player may set it to be empty.

If the atomic action that resets the board is defined in the ruleset, then append to it the following:

* Give every player whose Lock contains the name of the player who won the last round points equal to twice their wager.
* Set every Player’s wager to 0

In the rule “Characters”, replace “As a Weekly Action, the Board Historian may generate a Character of their choosing.” with

As a Weekly Action, the Board Historian may add a Character with an icon that is not already an existing Symbol and a name of their choosing.

Please idle me.

If the atomic action that resets the board is defined in the rule “Tic-Tac-Toe Rules” then append to it the following:

* Start a new round

Reset the board according to that action.

DragonSlayr15001 is now being mentored by TyGuy6.

If “Tic Tac Town’’ was not enacted, enact it.

Delete the fourth paragraph of the rule “Tic Tac Town”.

Change the second paragraph in the rule “Tic Tac Town” to read:

Each Building in Tic Tac Town has the following characteristics: a name, an action, a Maximum Occupancy, which must be an integer between 1 and 3 inclusive, a Current Occupancy, and a Cell. A Building’s Cell and Current Occupancy default to empty.

To “The Grid”, add:

A cell is considered free if it is empty or if it has less symbols than the maximum occupancy of a building associated with that Cell. If a cell has exactly as many symbols as the maximum occupancy of the building associated with it (or 1 if there is no building associated with it), it is considered full. If a cell has more symbols than would be considered full, it is invalid. If a cell is invalid, any player should set it to empty.

Each individual cell on The Grid may be referred to as “Cell XY”, where Y is the number of the row it sits on (ordered from top to bottom) and X is the letter of the English alphabet with the index of the column the cell sits on (ordered from left to right).

Before the last paragraph of the rule “Tic Tac Town”, add the following:

As a daily action, a player may change the Cell of an existing Building from empty to any cell on the Grid that is not already assigned to a Building.

In “Tic-Tac-Toe Rules”, replace “A valid move consists of replacing exactly one blank cell on the board with your symbol.” with

A valid move consists of adding your symbol to exactly one free cell, (removing ‘_’ if it is in that cell)

If “Triple Threat” was not enacted, then in the rule “Tic-Tac-Toe Rules”, replace “complete row of their symbol” with

unbroken row of (not invalid) cells containing their symbol

If “Triple Threat” was enacted, then in the rule “Tic-Tac-Toe Rules” replace “an unbroken vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row of three or more of their symbol” with

an unbroken vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row of three or more of (not invalid) cells containing their symbol

Throughout the rules, wherever it appears, change the term Points to Deeds.

Add a new dynastic rule to the ruleset, called Tic Tac Town, with the following text:

Tic Tac Town is a village that contains a number of Buildings; the Buildings that are currently in Tic Tac Town are publicly tracked.

Each Building in Tic Tac Town has the following characteristics: a name, an action, a Maximum Occupancy, which must be an integer between 1 and 3 inclusive, and a Current Occupancy, which defaults to empty.

At any time, a Player may spend one of their Deeds to build a new building in Tac Tac Town, which is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Give the Building a name;
* Choose a single action to be associated with that Building, which can be any action that is defined in a dynastic rule;
* Randomly select a legal number to be that Building’s Maximum Occupancy;
* Set the Current Occupancy of that building to blank;
* Add the Building thus generated to the public tracking.

A Building is Full if the number of Symbols in its Current Occupancy equals or exceeds its Maximum Occupancy. As a daily action, a Player may add their Symbol to the Current Occupancy of any building that is not Full; if they do so then they may immediately carry out the action associated with that building, without any further preconditions.

As a weekly communal action, any Player may clear the Current Occupancy of all Buildings.

For the purposes of this rule, an ‘action’ is anything in the dynastic ruleset that explicitly describes itself as such, using the word ‘action’; for example, ‘As a daily action’, ‘As a communal action’ etc.

Hello, Players of BlogNomic! I’m DragonSlayr, and I have been brought here by my own curiosity (but at the half-fault of current Board Historian Jumble, posting the link to this game in a Discord message.)
After taking a look at how that game overall is played and is currently being played, I’ve decided I’d like to join in.

...I’m getting sick of pressing shift. This is… not how I usually talk online.

now this is how I normally talk. of course not all my messages will look like this, formal Proposals, changes to the rules and such will be formatted correctly i just don’t usually use capitals when “talking” online
anyway! yeah i would like to be a player

Add a new rule called “Characters”:

Characters are defined with a Icon, which is a unicode character, and a name, which is a string of characters that is also flavor text.  The list of Characters are publicly tracked.  No two characters can share the same Icon.
As a Weekly Action, the Board Historian may generate a Character of their choosing.

Set the list of Characters to the following:

■, Alan Junior
🐦, Cardinal

Append the following to the bulletpointed list in “Symbology”:

- A Player may not select a Character’s Icon.

If the sentence “Each Player has a number of Points, which is publicly tracked.” does not exist in the ruleset, add it to the rule “Points”, creating that rule if it does not exist.

Add a new dynastic rule, titled “Side-Betting” that reads:

Each player has a wager, which is a publicly tracked integer. As a daily action, a player may reduce their number of points by 1 and increase their wager by 1.

Each player has a Lock, which is publicly tracked, is either empty or a string containing the name of an active BlogNomic player. and defaults to empty. A player may update their Lock to read the name of any active BlogNomic player as a daily action. If a player’s Lock is invalid, then any player may set it to be empty.

If “Let’s Tic-Tac-Go” has been enacted, then add to the end of the rule “Tic-Tac-Toe Rules”:

* Give every player whose Lock names the player who won the last round points equal to twice their wager.
* Set every Player’s wager to 0

If “Let’s Tic-Tac-Go” has been enacted, then the remainder of this proposal has no effect.

If “Draught Board” has been enacted, then add to the end of the rule “Tic-Tac-Toe Rules”:

* Give every player whose Lock names the player who is performing this action points equal to twice their wager.
* Set every Player’s wager to 0

If any Player has a Symbol of “Ô, remove their Symbol from them (so that they now have no symbol).

Add a new rule called “NPCs” with the following text

NPCs are Players for dynastic rules only. Each NPC is defined as a subrule of this rule, with the name of the subrule being the name of the NPC.

Rules may refer to NPCs by their name without explicitly stating that they are referring to the NPC’s name.

give NPCs a subrule called “Alan” with the following text

Alan’s Symbol is Ã.

If a player believes Alan has achieved victory in the current dynasty (and that victory attempted has not already been ruled on or isn’t already being ruled on), they are encouraged to raise a CfJ declaring that Alan has achieved victory and further more, that as Alan is an agent of chaos, the dynastic rules shall be blanked, the Board Historian shall lose their position as Board Historian, and a new meta dynasty titled “The First Chaosdynasty of Alan” shall begin.

If “Let’s Tic-Tac-Go” passed then do all of the following:

Add the following to NPCs, before any subrules

As a daily action, a Player may cause a NPC to take a move on the grid. The rules of daily actions still apply to NPCs (so the same NPC cannot be made to perform make two moves within the same day, nor twice within a 10 hour period). Furthermore, each Player may still only make one move (either their own move or causing an NPC to move) every five hours.

Add the following to the rule “Alan”

When Alan makes a move on the grid, he always selects a random cell. Alan’s moves may bypass the requirement that only blank cells be selected, instead replacing whatever the contents of the cell that was selected with his symbol.

In “The Grid”, replace “The Grid Size is a publicly tracked positive integer which defaults to 3.” with

The Grid Size is a publicly tracked positive integer that defaults to half the number of Active Players rounded up.

Replace the third paragraph of “Tic-Tac-Toe Rules” with the following:

When a Player forms an unbroken vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row of three or more of their symbol anywhere on the board, the round ends, and the player that formed a complete row gains 1 point. If it is impossible for any player to make a valid move, the round ends and nobody gains a point.

Reword the rule “Tic-Tac-Toe Rules” as follows:

Tic-Tac-Toe is a game for two or more Players where each Player has a distinct symbol. The game is played in Rounds on an NxN grid of cells (AKA the board) where N is the Grid Size, and each cell defaults to blank. Blank cells may be represented by the symbol U+005F (“_”).

While a Round of Tic-Tac-Toe is in-progress, Players may make valid moves where allowed by the ruleset. A valid move consists of replacing exactly one blank cell on the board with your symbol.

When a Player forms a complete row of their symbol spanning the entire vertical, horizontal, or diagonal length of the board (determined by the Grid Size), the round ends and the Player that formed a complete row gains 1 point. If it is impossible for any Player to make a valid move, the round ends and nobody gains a point.

Once a round ends, any player may Reset the board by performing the following atomic action:
* Reset the Grid Size to its default value
* Re-draw the board to match the Grid Size
* Set each cell on the board to blank.

If the proposal “Simple is Beautiful (by E. F. Schumacher)” was enacted, replace “gains 1 point” with “has achieved victory in the game of BlogNomic”.

In the rule “The Grid”, remove “The Grid Size may only be changed as defined in this rule.” Then, replace “The Grid is a publicly tracked NxN grid of Cells, where N is the grid size. Each Cell contains a text value, which is also publicly tracked as part of the Grid itself, defaulting to an empty value.” with:

The Grid refers to a publicly tracked game of Tic-Tac-Toe. The term “the Grid” is not case-sensitive, and can also be used to refer to the board for that particular game. All active players of BlogNomic are players of the Grid. As a Daily Action, a Player can make one move on the Grid.

If the rule Points exists, reword it as follows. Otherwise, add a new rule called Points as follows.

Each Player has a number of Points, which are publicly tracked.

In the rule “Symbology”, replace “A Player may not select U+0020-0 or U+00A0-0.” with

A player may not select any symbol on the list of banned symbols.

Add the following to the end of the rule Symbology:

The following is the list of banned symbols: U+0020-0 (” “), U+00A0-0 (” “), U+005F (“_”). If any Player’s symbol is a banned symbol, they may change their symbol to an allowed symbol and may not take any dynastic actions or post a DoV until they have done so.

If it exists, remove “When a player “wins” a game of Tic-Tac-Toe as described in this rule, it does not necessarily mean that they have achieved victory in the game of BlogNomic.”

To the rule “Tic-Tac-Toe Rules”, append the paragraph:

When a player “wins” a game of Tic-Tac-Toe as described in this rule, they have achieved victory in the game of BlogNomic.

If it appears in the ruleset, replace

Whenever a Player completes a Combo they should then immediately carry out its effect; if any Player notices that another Player has not completed the effect of one of their Combos then they may complete it for them. A single Move may complete multiple Combos; in which case the effects of all such Combos take place, in the order of the choosing of the Player who is carrying them out, regardless of whether any of those effects cause any of the other Combos to cease to exist. However, carrying out the effect of a Combo does not itself constitute a Move and cannot, unless otherwise stated, trigger further Combos.

However, carrying out the effect of a Combo does not itself constitute a Move and cannot, unless otherwise stated, trigger further Combos. A player may choose not to carry out the effect of a combo they completed. A player may choose to split applying the effects for the combo(s) they completed up over multiple wiki edits, though if another player (which may be the original player) makes a move before all of the original player’s effects have been applied for the original move, the original player may not apply any more effects from combos they completed for that move.

Add a rule entitled “Points” as follows:

Each Player has a number of Points, which is publicly tracked.

Replace the final two paragraphs of the rule “Tic-Tac-Toe Rules” with the following:

When either player forms a complete row of their symbol spanning the entire vertical, horizontal, or diagonal length of the board, then the player whose symbols form that row may take the following atomic action:
* Increment their own Points by one
* Set all spaces on the board that contain their symbol, as well as all those that contain their opponent’s symbol, to be blank spaces

Aware that we just had a dynasty handover without it being mentioned on the pod at all, which feels like a shame.

Add the following to “Symbology”

Each Symbol also has a Background Color associated with it, depending on which Block it is in on the [[WGL4]] page. Whenever a Symbol displayed on the The Game Board (as a Symbol, not if it appears elsewhere in the document such as in a Player’s name or column header), it must be given its associated background color. The background colors for each Block are as follows

* C0 Controls and Basic Latin: #FFCCCC
* C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement: #CCFFCC
* Latin Extended-A: #CCCCFF
* Greek: #FFFFCC
* Cyrillic: #FFCCFF
* Any Block Not Otherwise Listed: #CCFFFF

Remove “Each Player’s Symbol must be visually distinct; a Player may not select a Symbol that a casual observer would fail to distinguish from the existing Symbol of another Player or idle Player;” from “Symbology”

Replace “A Player may not select U+0020-0 or U+00A0-0.” with “A Player may not select a banned symbol” in the rule “Symbology”

Add a subrule to “Symbology” called “Banned Symbols” and give it the following text

Some Symbols may be banned due to them being too visually similar to other symbols. A Player with a banned Symbol may not carry out any dynastic action not described in this rule. The following symbols are banned:
* U+2010-3
* U+2010-4
* U+2010-5

🐦🦅🐧🐺🟢🦜↔️🌠🔰🟨💀🦀🌌🎁🦢💥

Add a new rule called “Turn Order”:

The Current Turn is a publicly tracked variable defaulting to X, and the Turn Count is a publicly tracked variable defaulting to 1. A Player may take the following Atomic Action named “Taking a Turn” as a Daily Action:
- Append the Current Turn to the end of a random cell that contains no “X” or “O” character
- Change the Current Turn to X if it is O, and O if it is X
- Increase the Turn Count by 1

Change the bulletpoint in “Symbology” reading “* A Player may not select U+0020-0 or U+00A0-0.” to

* A Player may not select X, O, U+0020-0 or U+00A0-0.

If “Attracting Honies Like A Magnet” did not enact, add a new rule called “Scoring”:

If there exists a line of three cells, vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, with no other cells between them, that contain an “X” or “O” character, any Player should remove the matching character from the three cells.

If Proposal: Attracting Honies Like A Magnet was not enacted then this proposal has no effect.

In the rule Making Moves, change the second paragraph to read as follows:

Specific patterns of Symbols can have an effect when they appear in the Grid. These patterns are called Combos. Each Combo has a name, condition (a configuration of symbols on the Grid that must exist for the effect to trigger) and an effect. All possible Combos are listed in this rule. Whenever a Player completes a Combo they should then immediately carry out its effect; if any Player notices that another Player has not completed the effect of one of their Combos then they may complete it for them. A single Move may complete multiple Combos; in which case the effects of all such Combos take place, in the order of the choosing of the Player who is carrying them out, regardless of whether any of those effects cause any of the other Combos to cease to exist. However, carrying out the effect of a Combo does not itself constitute a Move and cannot, unless otherwise stated, trigger further Combos.

Ensure that the wiki formatting markup for the table in this proposal has rendered properly in the ruleset, and correct if necessary.

In Dynastic Rules, section ‘The Grid’,

Change

The Grid Size is a publicly tracked positive integer which defaults to 3

To

The Grid Size is a publicly tracked positive integer which defaults to 10

Add the following to the dynastic ruleset as a new dynastic rule, called Making Moves:

As a daily action, a Player may Make a Move by adding their Symbol to an empty Cell in the Grid.

If, immediately after a Player has Made a Move, the Grid has an entire row or column in which every Cell is filled with a Symbol, and all of those Symbols has at least one Quality in common, then that Player must Reset the Grid.

Add the following as a subrule to the rule Symbology, called Classification:

Each Symbol has the following Qualities, defined by its location on the table set out at the page [[WGL4]]: a Row, a Column and a Block.

Add the following to the end of the rule The Grid:

If ever the Grid is in such a position that no Player may legally make a play then any Player may Reset the Grid. Resetting the Grid entails removing any contents in all of its Cells, resetting the Grid Size to 3, and redrawing the Grid to match the new Grid Size.

If the proposal “Back to Basics” failed, the rest of this proposal has no effect.

Add a new rule to the ruleset called “Challenges” as follows:

A Challenge is a type of Event Post. The Creation Condition of a Challenge is that the title of the post is “A vs B” where A is the name of the player Posting the challenge, B is the name of another active Player, and the body of the post is a default grid as described in the rule “Tic-Tac-Toe Rules”.

As a daily action, a player may make a new Challenge Post as long as they are not already named in another Open Challenge. When a Challenge is posted, it starts a new self-contained round of Tic-Tac-Toe. The Ending condition for a Challenge is that the round of Tic-Tac-Toe is over.

* Player B may reject the Challenge by making a comment with a voting icon of AGAINST on the post. If Player B rejects the Challenge, the round is over.
* If Player B has not yet accepted or rejected a Challenge, Player A may make a comment with a voting icon of AGAINST on the post to cancel the Challenge. Then, the round over.
* If a Challenge has been Open for at least 48 hours and Player B has neither accepted nor rejected it, then the round is over.
* If a Challenge has been accepted and neither player has made a move in at least 48 hours, the round is over and the last player to make a move wins the round of Tic-Tac-Toe.

Player B may accept the Challenge by making a comment with a voting icon of FOR on the post. Once the Challenge has been accepted, the Players named in the Challenge must, starting with a randomly selected player, take turns by alternating making a Response to the Challenge until the round is over. The Response Format is defined by each player copying and pasting the grid from the previous turn (or from the post body if it is the first turn), and making exactly one valid move.

If at any point after the challenge has been accepted, either player makes a comment on the post with the AGAINST voting icon, they forfeit the Challenge and the other player wins the round of Tic-Tac-Toe. Then, the round is over.

Add a new rule to the beginning of the Dynastic ruleset titled “Tic-Tac-Toe Rules”:

Tic-Tac-Toe is a game for two players where one player plays as the symbol X and one player as the symbol O. The game is played on a 3x3 grid of spaces (AKA the board), where each space defaults to blank. Blank spaces are represented by the symbol _.

Starting with a randomly selected player, each player takes turns making a move until the game is over. A valid move consists of replacing exactly one blank space on the board with your symbol.

The first time either player forms a complete row of their symbol spanning the entire vertical, horizontal, or diagonal length of the board, then the game is over and the player who formed the complete row wins. If there are no remaining blank spaces on the board and neither player has won, then the game is over and ends in a tie.

When a player “wins” a game of Tic-Tac-Toe as described in this rule, it does not necessarily mean that they have achieved victory in the game of BlogNomic.

If the rule “The Grid” exists, replace “The game is played on a 3x3 grid of spaces (AKA the board), where each space defaults to blank” with “The game is played on an NxN grid of spaces (AKA the board) where N is the Grid Size, and each space defaults to blank”.

If the rule “Symbology” exists, replace “where one player plays as the symbol X and one player as the symbol O” with “where each player has a distinct symbol”.

If “Grid Locked” has not enacted, this does nothing.

Add a new rule called “Turn Order”:

The Current Turn is a publicly tracked variable defaulting to X, and the Turn Count is a publicly tracked variable defaulting to 1. A Player may take the following Atomic Action named “Taking a Turn” as a Daily Action:
- Append the Current Turn to the end of a cell that contains no “X” or “O” character
- Change the Current Turn to X if it is O, and O if it is X
- Increase the Turn Count by 1

If “@ to %3, Checkmate” has enacted, change the bulletpoint reading “* A Player may not select U+0020-0 or U+00A0-0.” to

* A Player may not select X, O, U+0020-0 or U+00A0-0.

Add a new rule called “Scoring”:

X and O have a score that is publicly tracked, defaulting to 0.  If there exists a line of three cells, vertically,
horizontally, or diagonally, with no other cells between them, that contain an “X” or “O” character,
any Player should remove the matching character from the three cells and increase the corresponding team’s score by 1.

If Proposal: Grid Locked is not enacted this proposal has no further effect.

Append to the rule ‘Grid Locked’:

Reduce the first coordinate of each Position by one if the leftmost column is removed, and reduce the second coordinate of each Position by one if the bottom row is removed.

Any Cell may be referred to as the coordinate pair (x,y), where x is the number of Cells to the left of the named Cell and y is the number of Cells below the named Cell. The Distance between two Cells is the sum of the absolute value of the difference between their first coordinates and the sum of the absolute value of the difference between their second coordinates.

Add a new dynastic rule entitled ‘Cell Walking’, containing the following:

Every Player has a Position, which is a publicly tracked Cell that defaults to (0,0). As a Daily Action a Player may change their Position to any Cell within one Distance of their current Position.

If the Position of a player no longer refers to an existing Cell, any player may change the Position of that player to an existing Cell with the least Distance from the player’s current Position.

Set the special case rule No Collaborations to inactive.

https://imgur.com/a/ASCnDmL

Add the following to the Special Case rule, “Malign Emperors”:

If the Special Case rule “No Collaboration” is Active, any Player may set it to Inactive. (The combo is too strong.)

If Proposal: Draft Board was enacted then this proposal has no further effect.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Symbology:

Each Player may have a unique Symbol, which is publicly tracked and which defaults to an empty string (signifying that they have no Symbol). A Player with no Symbol may set their Symbol to any single character from the WGL4 character, with the following distinctions:

* Each Player’s Symbol must be unique; a Player may not select a Symbol that has already been selected by any active or idle Player (Symbols selected by idle Players should be publicly tracked);
* Each Player’s Symbol must be visually distinct; a Player may not select a Symbol that a casual observer would fail to distinguish from the existing Symbol of another Player or idle Player;
* A Player may not select U+0020-0 or U+00A0-0.

A Player without a Symbol may not carry out any dynastic action not described in this rule.

I would like to unidle.

Add a new rule called The Grid

The Grid Size is a publicly tracked positive integer which defaults to 3. The Grid Size may only be changed as defined in this rule.

The Grid is a publicly tracked NxN grid of Cells, where N is the grid size. Each Cell contains a text value, which is also publicly tracked as part of the Grid itself, defaulting to an empty value.

When the Grid is Incremented, the following atomic action is performed: The Grid Size increases by 1. To make the Grid match the new grid size, a new row of empty cells is randomly added to either the top or bottom of the grid, then a new of column of cells is randomly added to the left or right of the grid.

When the Grid is Decremented, the following atomic action is performed: If the Grid Size is 1 nothing happens. Otherwise, the Grid Size is decreased by 1. To make the Grid match the new grid size, either the top most or bottom most row is randomly removed from the grid, then either the left most or right most column is randomly removed from the grid.

Replace the word “Employee” with “Player” and the word “Employees” with “Players” wherever it appears in the ruleset and in any pending voteable matter other than this one.

Enact a new rule entitled “Sides” as follows:

Each player may have a Side, which is publicly tracked, defaulting to having no Side; the list of Sides is as follows:
* X
* O
If a given player has no Side, then any player may randomly select a Side from the list above and assign it to that given player.

I announce my arrival, and my intention and desire to become a player.

As per “Blackwork Construction Co”, I have achieved Victory.

Enact a new rule entitled “Roll-Off Victory” as follows:

If all of the following conditions are true:
* A single publicly tracked variable shared by all Employees has been designated the Victory Share Variable by a rule other than this one
* A numeric value has been designated the Victory Share Threshold by a rule other than this one
* The total sum of all Employees’ values for the Victory Share Variable is greater than or equal to the Victory Share Threshold
Then the CEO may, once in this Dynasty, undertake an Atomic Action with the following steps, known as Selecting a Victor:
* Randomly select an Employee, with this random selection being weighted for each Employee according to their individual share of the total sum of all Employees’ Victory Share Variable
* Post to the BlogNomic blog announcing the Victor thus selected
Once the CEO has finished Selecting a Victor, then that Victor is considered to have Achieved Victory in the current Dynasty.

When 100 or more total Shares in BCC are owned by Employees, any Employee may complete Facility 2, by randomly selecting an Employee, using each Employee’s number of Shares in BCC as their weighted odds of being selected. Once Facility 2 has been completed, it may not be completed again, and the Employee thus selected has achieved Victory.

with

If at the start of a Day, 100 or more total Shares in BCC are owned by Employees, then the Company is in Escrow and remains in Escrow for the remainder of the day (otherwise the Company is not in Escrow). If the Company is in Escrow, Employees may not perform Weekday actions defined by this rule. If the Company is in Escrow, any Employee may complete Facility 2, by randomly selecting an Employee, using each Employee’s number of Shares in BCC as their weighted odds of being selected. Once Facility 2 has been completed, it may not be completed again, and the Employee thus selected has achieved Victory.

Append the following to the first paragraph in the rule “Teams”:

An Employee’s Team is publicly tracked.

Add to the subrule “Office”:

As a weekday action, an employee may advertise the company by performing the following atomic action:
* Roll 1DICEX, where X is the company budget divided by 5. The result of this roll plus 100 is known as the advertisement’s Expense.
* Roll 1DICEY, where Y is the company budget divided by 5. The result of this roll plus [20 times the number of boxes in the warehouse] is the advertisement’s Effectiveness.
* If the advertisement’s Effectiveness is higher than it’s Expense, then the Employee who took the advertising action may immediately sell a box, then once again advertise, regardless of if those actions would otherwise be legal. This is known as a selling streak. Actions taken as part of a selling streak do not add productivity or options.
*If the advertisement’s Expense is higher than its Effectiveness, then decrease the company budget by the Expense.

Add a new Rule, “Request for Comments”:

A Request for Comments (RFC) is a type of Voteable Matter that may be used in order to discuss, draft, and gather support for an intended change to the non-dynastic ruleset. The contents of a Pending RFC may be changed by its author at any time. A Vote of FOR on an RFC indicates willingness to vote FOR the intended change, should it be proposed as described in the body of the RFC. If an RFC has a number of FOR Votes that exceed or equal Quorum, and if they have not yet done so, the Author may, within a Proposal, cite the RFC as that Proposal’s precursor; and, for purposes of determining Popularity for that Proposal, this text from the Rule “Votes” shall not apply: “Exception: Proposals which would change the text of a Core, Special Case or Appendix rule if enacted cannot be Popular on this basis.”

A Pending RFC may be Failed by any Admin if it is has been Pending for more than 7 days, and has not been cited as precursor in a Proposal which is still Pending. It may also be Failed by any Admin if its author has cast a vote of AGAINST upon it. If a Proposal that cited an RFC has been Enacted or Failed, that RFC may be given the same status by any Admin.

Add a new dynastic rule to the ruleset, called Can Opener:

Any Employee may at any time carry out the following atomic action:

* If the rule Votes contains the phrase “Exception: Proposals which would change the text of a Core, Special Case or Appendix rule if enacted cannot be Popular on this basis”, remove it
* Repeal this rule

Create a new rule called “Alan” as follows:

Alan is an NPC whose actions are controlled by the CEO. For the purposes of Dynastic Rules, Alan is considered an Employee.

Alan is the only member of a team called Logistics (which is distinct from all other teams) and may not transfer to another team. Any time Alan would receive an increase in Vested Value, that increase is instead applied to the Company Budget.

When Alan moves between departments, a faint buzzing and whirring sound can be heard. This has no effect on the ruleset or gamestate, but it is creepy.

In the rule “Teams”, replace:

The CEO has the sole power to set and/or change an Employee’s Team, with the exception that they are unable to change an Employee’s Team to or from On Strike, except as described in the rule On Strike. An Employee’s Team is publicly tracked.

An Employee who is unhappy in their current Team is encouraged to submit a transfer request to the CEO. Any Employee that does not belong to a Team must be assigned one at the CEO’s earliest convenience.

with:

As a Weekday Action, an Employee may Transfer to another Team by changing their Team to one whose members have a total combined Production equal to or lower than their current team.

If there is a rule called “Do-Groups” then repeal it. Enact a rule entitled “Do-Groups” as follows:

* Whenever an Employee receives an increase in Options as a result of the Action of an Employee in their Team, the amount of Options they receive is equal to half their Seniority rounded down.

** The Employee(s) who currently have the largest Vested Value out of all other Employee(s) have achieved victory in this dynasty. The Employee or CEO performing this action should make a story post to the blog naming those Employee(s). 
* If the Company is not in Takeover, but at least one Employee has a Vested Value over $1,000,000, set the Company to be in Takeover.

Create a rule, “Blackwork Construction Co”:

As a subsidiary of BBC, Blackwork Construction Co has it in mind to build the first of several futuristic facilities out of the Hyposolid material. As a Weekday Action, an Employee may spend 25,000 Vested Value to add to the Warehouse a box of material “Hyposolid”, size 5, and value $291.50. Upon doing so, they gain 5 Shares in BCC. Shares in BCC are a tracked numeric value for each Employee.

When 100 or more total Shares in BCC are owned by Employees, any Employee may complete Facility 2, by randomly selecting an Employee, using each Employee’s number of Shares in BCC as their weighted odds of being selected. Once Facility 2 has been completed, it may not be completed again, and the Employee thus selected has achieved Victory.
