Add the following text to the end of the rule Doing the Dance:
Transfer 1 banana from the monkey in position n_A to the monkey in position n_A+1.
Transfer 1 banana from the monkey in position n_A to the monkey in position n_A-1.
Transfer to the monkies in positions n_A+1 and n_A-1 one banana each from the monkey in position n_A.
I believe I can propose again, by looking at the time stamp.
A sunny weekend.
, here, because there’s no explanation of what happens when N-1 and N+2 go off the end of the line.
I say 
. Technically there’s explanation for what happens if any number in a dance move is off the end of the line. Since we already skip things that cause infinite loops, it seems logical to skip those too.
Unless you wanted some kind of Monkey-themed segfault, but that wouldn’t be any fun.
A quorum would probably agree that it “seemed logical” that the moves wouldn’t be processed properly, if it went to a CfJ, but it could easily be split as to whether the bananas were left alone, or lost in the void. It’s bad to have an ambiguous rule in the ruleset.
I’ll SK this and the other proposal to incorporate them into one.
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.
