This is an extremely interesting way to attempt to countermeasure my scam.

Is any readable rule-like text in the gamestate actually rules or are they just tokens that look like such?

I’ll read up on the rules in good depth in the next 48 hours to see what would happen (its really late right now for me). I honestly don’t know right now lol, but I’m fascinated to figure it out.

Ok, through an initial skim, my first counter is (I’ll number them for convenience in case I make more or someone else comes up with more, I suggest using similar for replies such as 1-R or something for a reply onto “1”, could be useful):

1) “This is the Ruleset for BlogNomic; all Managers shall obey it.”

I must obey the Ruleset. I don’t give squat what the Gamestate says. They’re explicit play tokens of the game, but not actual bearers of commands which I need to obey. So, it must be obeyed that the ruleset says that for example, “tools” contain tokens with certain names and act according to what those names are, but I dont have to obey rules that those names contain, that’s merely the appearance that the token has taken.

Cuddlebeam is correct. Naming a Blogger “Cuddlebeam Achieves Victory” wouldn’t actually cause anyone to achieve victory unless theres a rule that says to do what a Blogger’s name says.

Basically, the Gamestate needs the Ruleset to give it meaning, and currently, the content of Bios have no explicit mechanical meaning (just flavor, I assume).

and bucky got a comment in right before me lol, but yeah.

This Blogger actually has great stats. I bid $1.

This auction is now closed. Cuddlebeam employs Hyphenicus for $1.
