Idle me Could an admin please idle me? I’m not sure I really have the time to dedicate to BlogNomic right now, especially given things like the speed of the queue and the size of the edit window. ais523 08/30/21 2 08/31/21
I can’t get the ruleset wiki to load For whatever reason, wiki.blognomic.com isn’t working for me (other BlogNomic subdomains, and other websites, work fine) – it times out when I try to load pages on it. As a consequence, I’m going to hold off on vetoing things / writing proposals until I can actually read the rules. ais523 08/25/21 1 08/26/21
Ascension Address: Legislature At Work With the decline of the Royal Court in the late 18th century, its legislative body, once the seat of power for an empire, no longer served any useful political function. However, organisations of this age and venerability don’t go down lightly. Lawmaking started out as politics, but it evolved into… ais523 08/21/21 4 08/22/21
To revert or uphold? Something which perennially seems to lead to arguments is what to do when there’s been a mistake (by which I mean, someone inadvertently doing something that wasn’t permitted/possible according to the rules). I think it would be worth having a discussion about the correct course of action in this respect,… ais523 08/07/21 7 08/08/21
So, it turns out that most of our Glyphs don’t exist “If a room contains a Sigil from a Vampire Lord then no Glyph may be created for that Vampire Lord, and vice-versa.” This seems pretty clear to me: if you have a Sigil, you can’t have a Glyph. Nothing about this rule says it has to be the same room.… ais523 07/26/21 2 07/26/21
An offer Anyone interested in the new trading mechanics? I’m looking to buy a Favour from Jumble or Chiiika or both, and would be willing to offer the inclusion of their names on my Glyph on the Cliff Edge in return. ais523 07/01/21 2 07/26/21
Unidling Could an admin please unidle me? ais523 06/10/21 1 06/10/21
Idle me As a consequence of the previous Wheel spin (which gave me a 50% chance to catch up with the leaders, thus was worth trying), I’m now too far behind to have much of a chance in this dynasty, and don’t find it much fun to play when I don’t have… ais523 06/01/20 8 06/02/20
For people who are still trying to get random words into the ruleset I decided to just roll 5DICE6 twice to see what happened (with no immediate ruleset impact). The first (“Amnesiac”) roll produced 24315 “dubbed”, which is possibly not that interesting (you could sort-of make it work, but probably not). The second (“Past Memory”) roll produced 64262 “unmade”, which is much more… ais523 05/27/20 4 05/27/20
Post-dynastic discussion So, given that the dynasty’s now over and there’s no point in keeping secrets any more: what Role did everyone have, anyway? Even though it ended in a rather unsatisfying way, we might still be able to piece together what the gamestate was, and that will be useful for historical… ais523 05/26/20 11 05/27/20
Story Post: It’s always in the last place you look I search my pockets. ais523 05/21/20 1 05/22/20
Now that unidling actually works Given how much attention I’ve been playing to BlogNomic recently, I may as well participate more directly. Unidle me. ais523 05/21/20 1 05/21/20
You all suck at cleanup I thought you should know that you majorly screwed up the ruleset a few dynasties ago, but nobody noticed at the time and the problem has mostly fixed itself by now. There’s still a bit of damage to the ruleset, though, so someone might want to submit a proposal to… ais523 05/19/20 13 05/20/20
Idle me This dynasty has too many daily actions (already!) that need to be performed every day in order to be in the best position to win it (because they can be traded for other people’s dailies). As such, attempting to win it would be really bad for my personal life (I… ais523 10/09/15 8 10/09/15

Unidle me Given that the new-player-lockout proposal has gone up, I’d at least like a chance to participate even though I’m coming in late. Would an admin please unidle me? ais523 09/25/15 2 09/25/15
I’m idle right now, but something that probably needs fixing According to the ruleset, accepting a Test means that you must complete its Task by the Competition Deadline. As I understand normal BlogNomic terminology, doesn’t this mean that all Rats who accept the Test are deemed to complete its Task (perhaps with gamestate changes to match), even if they actually… ais523 07/27/15 0
Wiki account Could an admin create me a wiki account, please? Also, please idle me for now. I might or might not come back later in the dynasty. (I know this looks like a weird combination, but there’s a few dynastic histories that need fixing.) ais523 02/24/15 4 02/24/15
Error: You have surpassed the Private Message sending limit for a 24 hour period Can we get this limit increased? As it is, I’m being locked out of participating in the Dynasty by the software. (I’m going to send Kevan emails to substitute for PMs, for the time being.) ais523 02/20/15 10 02/21/15
I’m not enjoying this dynasty I was enjoying this dynasty earlier, but things are getting increasingly upsetting. My main problem is that it’s impossible to accomplish anything without the support of several other players, but I’m not getting that support even when it’s in those players’ best interests. For example, we haven’t had a trial… ais523 02/19/15 18 02/20/15
Discussion: A technical suggestion I’ve been thinking about two problems recently, which seem connected: Frequently, players will forget to categorise a post (most commonly leading to a Proposal that isn’t, and spamming up the blog if the mistake isn’t caught within 5 minutes). This just creates a little extra tedium all round. Sometimes, I… ais523 02/17/15 11 02/18/15
Life Support sabotage This mission just failed despite being a) Rostered; b) with a valid Command Team; c) with a Command Quorum. In other words, the mission was either Sabotaged or Tampered with by _Fox_, Sylphrena, or Brendan, even though there’d be no Clearance benefit either way from doing so. Thus, one of… ais523 02/17/15 10 02/18/15
Mysterious GNDT update Latest update: 12/02 12:15 (UTC) (Kevan) Bucky’s Emotions = Paranoid, Calm, Fatigued, Disabled [was Paranoid, Calm, Fatigued] (Bucky has become Disabled somehow.) Looking through the ruleset, I’m guessing this was a phaser shot? I can’t see any other reason in the ruleset that Kevan would have been able to do… ais523 02/12/15 5 02/12/15
Time to unidle I wonder if it’s been long enough that people have stopped trying to Disable me? Please could an admin unidle me, anyway? ais523 02/12/15 1 02/12/15
Ruleset history archive? I was looking through the old dynastic histories recently, and noticed that some were missing their Final Ruleset (which is normally theoretically possible to recover via reading proposals, but would be a pain). The wiki’s history only goes back to the server move. Does anyone (Kevan? 75th Trombone?) happen to… ais523 02/05/15 7 02/06/15
Idle me This is a blatant scam in order to prevent myself being Disabled via Trial, because it would make it quite hard to participate in the dynasty (there’s basically nothing I can actually do, besides vote and propose, which isn’t so interesting). Could an admin please idle me? (It’s not like… ais523 02/03/15 6 02/05/15
Unidle me I’m too busy to play right now, but might play later on in the dynasty. It looks like the way the rules are going at the moment, getting in now is necessary to not upset things if I unidle later. So could an admin unidle me now please? I’ll likely… ais523 01/23/15 2 01/23/15

Story Post: Unblocking a Chakra: Dynasty 100 If I were enlightened, I would be able to achieve victory this dynasty (rule 2.2.4). And I currently occupy this dynasty. This is the condition required to unblock a dynasty, and nothing in the rules prevents the unblocking of dynasty 100 itself. (I’ll leave the unlocking of the chakra until… ais523 06/11/12 3 06/13/12

A huge mess Just found a pretty serious bug that I think you should all know about so that you can fix. (I’m idle so can’t make a CFJ about it.) Rule 2.2.8 says “Any non-Ruleset document on the Blognomic wiki that would qualify as gamestate under the final Ruleset of a dynasty… ais523 06/10/12 3 06/11/12
The Black Market Given that communication is quite important this dynasty, I thought I’d make this thread for people to coordinate possible Assisted Actions, if they feel like publicly doing it on the blog. Enjoy! ais523 01/14/12 2 01/23/12
Ascension Address: Let’s get this started An anonymous note turns up just inside your secret hideout… Too long have you all worked as a disorganised rabble, stealing for your own benefit and competing over scraps of unimportant drug deals.

We apologise for the delay, and any inconvenience caused I’d just like to say that I’m sorry for not starting the next dynasty yet. I’m a little exhausted, having a few problems with my RL sleep patterns, and I’ve tried a couple of times to write the start of the dynasty and not really managed it. I may be… ais523 01/06/12 9 01/07/12
Just a note… It seems I screwed up my attempts to Drive yesterday, accidentally entering the wrong set of routes in the GNDT. I’m assuming nothing since was legal (even my Assignment Request, because it was based on the wrong number of routes), as they each updated the GNDT to an impossible state,… ais523 12/19/11 0
A rant about daily actions and timing scams From the GNDT timestamps:  09/11 17:55 (UTC) - ais523 10/11 00:02 (UTC) - ais523 The timing is obviously not a coincidence. I want to talk about daily actions, and in particular, the 6 hour limit on consecutive uses of the same daily action. First off, the 6 hour limit does… ais523 11/10/11 21 11/11/11

My Sparrowscript/Alethioscript/whatever it’s called nowadays has stopped working Is it working for other people, or down for everyone?

Hey, everyone CoV on the DoV Just a heads-up to everyone: Yoda doesn’t have economic dominance after all, he’s only Chairman of the Board of 6 corporations.

Paradox So, suppose there’s a Citizen with higher Clearance than the rule “Information Clearance”. Unfortunately, the rule forgets to exclude itself; thus, for the purposes of rule 2.1.1.1, a Citzen with higher Clearance than rule 2.1.1.1 is not a Citizen, according to rule 2.1.1.1; except that this cancels the effect of… ais523 08/12/10 3 08/13/10

Historical loose ends I’ve been looking through recent dynastic histories to see if there was anything missing (like the Theme of arthexis’ dynasty…) I assume that given that it’s well over a year ago now, there’s no harm in revealing this now, so: could anyone who played through the Fourth Metadynasty reveal what… ais523 07/27/10 7 07/28/10

Ascension Address: Let’s settle this the good old-fashioned nomic way It seems to me that what’s happening at the moment is a big discussion over who should take the next dynasty, what the theme should be, etc. BlogNomic has a perfectly good way to settle who the leader of a dynasty should be; it’s known as a dynasty.

Next dynasty discussion Although I have a few ideas for a dynasty, I may not have time to run an upcoming dynasty unless it requires an unusually low amount of Emperor attention.

Raiding, week 4 Nobody at all tried raiding last week; it’s as if everyone was scared or something. New Treasury contents: 120 Iron, 120 Wood, 60 Quicksilver, 60 Caffeine, 36 Cogs, 12 Gems, with a Guard Level of 11. Feel free to discuss your raid here. ais523 03/29/10 11 03/31/10

Trade route time Just a note: the Trade Routes for this week are now up on the wiki.
