Proposal: Atoms FTW (bis)

Can’t be enacted at 0-7. — Quirck

Add a dynastic rule called “Atom, prove thyself” and give it the following text

Every Atom by itself is a well-formed formula. Once the first proof of a well-formed formula consisting solely of an Atom is established, then that Atom shall win.

 

Our deduction rules will probably be such that this includes win by contradiction. The first one to prove a contradiction just goes on to prove his own Atom for the win.

I’m not sure I fully understand. What prevents someone from using Atom -> Atom and winning?

Well, perhaps I messed up again, but, to me “kikar -> kikar” doesn’t “consist solely of an atom”. I see two atoms not to mention a connective in there.

against for the simple reason that early victory conditions tend to lead to early victories. I do really like this as a victory condition, though.

Shall win sounds like if that Atom doesn’t win, he violates the rules. But he hasn’t achieved victory yet :)

against I suggest getting it more established just on the basis that early game tends to have more loopholes to exploit and that may assist in causing, as Ienpw III suggested, an unpleasantly early victory.

“Shall win sounds like if that Atom doesn’t win, he violates the rules. But he hasn’t achieved victory yet :)”

Not sure this holds true.. I’m not sure if it’s legally possible for the rules to be violated.

So, what then, no winning before 9 am on a weekday? Noon on weekends?

You are idle according to the sidebar, but I don’t see why you would be based on your posts. Is this even legal?
