Hello! I’ve been watching BlogNomic on and off for a while now and finally decided to dive in. Ever since I learned about nomics, I’ve been curious about being involved in the workings of one, and BlogNomic is the one that’s piqued my interest the most. I’m looking forward to casting my votes and participating in the dynasties with you guys, pending approval.
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.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.

...no proposal is required to join.

LOL. My newbiness is showing. I was wondering if I needed a proposal and decided against it, but none of the other categories looked right either. So I clicked “Null,” which I guess is a subcategory of “Proposal.”
Sheelawolf:
This is probably going to be a dumb question: Should I find a way to edit my post out of the Proposal category? I would have by now, but the wording of Rule 1.7 confuses me. Do I have to worry about whether or not this is an official (because it’s a proposal) or non-official (because a proposal’s not required for membership application) post, or should I not bother and just edit since I’m not an official player yet?
Chivalrybean:
a story post is default. We tend to only use story posts and proposals. Don’t worry about editing this, I’ll fix it, and activate you as a player.
I’ll PM you your GNDT password.
Quorum will rise to 7.
Sheelawolf:
Great, thank you very much. :-D
