BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Create a new rule called “Factions”:

There exist three Factions called BLO, GNO and MIC, respectively. For each one of these factions, there exists a Ruleset and a Gamestate to which those rules apply. Every rule existing in the Blognomic ruleset is considered implicit in each Faction’s Ruleset, even if not written on it. Rules existing only in a Faction’s Ruleset have no effect outside that Faction’s Gamestate and Ruleset.

This implies that a Citizen CAN win in a Faction, indeed becoming Watcher for that faction, but not for the whole game. Also, just to clarify: the way this is worded means that if two factions create the exact same rule, it becomes valid everywhere in Blognomic.

Create a new rule called “Membership”:

Each Citizen may belong to at most one Faction (also known as being member of that Faction). This shall be tracked in a GNDT column named Faction. As a weekly action, a Citizen who is not the Watcher may change their Faction to any one of the three valid Factions. A Citizen is considered to be idle within each Faction that e doesn’t belong to.

Whenever a Citizen makes an official post with the text “[Faction]” at the beginning of its subject, then that post shall be known as a Faction Post and is considered to be made only within the context of the Ruleset and Gamestate for that Citizen’s Faction. Otherwise, it is considered to be made within the Ruleset and Gamestate of Blognomic as a whole.

Faction Posts cannot be made if the Citizen’s Faction has less than three Players (and if they are made, they shall be marked as invalid).

If more than half of all comments containing counted votes also contain the text “Randomize Me!”, roll 1DICE3 for each Citizen. On a result of 1, that Citizen’s Faction becomes BLO. On a 2, it becomes GNO. On a 3, it becomes MIC.
