Your honor, the defendant’s car is dented and the shape and colour of the dent coincide exactly with my client’s now broken bike

After somehow bringing the car and the bike into the courtroom, the bike can be demonstrated to fit exactly into the dent in Joshua’s car. X Express is the winner; the fine is $212,625. This case is now closed.

What is this?

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.

"Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game. The primary activity of Nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed."
