Your proposal made me do it.

The ruleset contains no instances of â€œhatxxorationâ€. Replacing instances of “hatxx0rati0n” would have been slightly more fruitful.

Also, consider this a challenge to a beard-dyeing competition, Elias.

What is this??? Your beard is nothing compared to my beard, which even has its own theme song. I bet Elvis, who is definitely alive, would be able to perform my beard’s song so well that your beard would turn colorless!

Am I missing something here? “Proposal: Stealing Ideas” created two instances of “hatxxoration”, both of which should have been replaced by “Proposal: The Umpteenth Mistake That Elias IX Has To Fix In Eir Proposals”. What seems to be the problem?

Yeah, the one in the ruleset contains zeros, and I missed that. The letter “o” and the numeral “0” look exactly the same in this font.

What is this?

BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.

The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. New players are always welcome and can join in at any time.

"Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game. The primary activity of Nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed."
