Timed out and enacted, 4-0. Josh

Set GetPunnedOn’s Pecking Order to 5. Set ais523’s Pecking Order to 6.
GPO’s Pecking Order was not set when they unidled. This makes their race-end gain squiffy.
It was intentional but I can’t remember why either (I wrote that proposal).
Thinking about it, it’s probably to avoid a Pecking Order value that was set in one race being used in another (when it refers to a different list).
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. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.
ais523:
The official ruleset explicitly clears the pecking order of a snail that unidles (as does the current ruleset, for that matter). I’m not entirely sure why, but assumed it was intentional, and it does seem to work in the rules (making the snail into a Runner).
