Add the following sentence to the end of the rule “In or Out?”:
When an Outsider becomes an Insider, they add 1 to their Fame.
Reproposing Yuri’s proposal
I never thought of that, Kevan. Maybe we could add something that says that a Contestant may not become an Insider more than twice per 48 hr period or something.
For now thoug, my vote remains 
If this is allowed to pass, we may not have time to pass a fix proposal.
COV
Changing your vote is a daily action, even if that contestant is an outsider. Changing your support is a weekly action, unless the contestant you are currently supporting is an outsider, at which point you can change it to any insider without using your weekly action.
This, combined with the fact that you cannot have your Vote and Support be the same constestant, would make it very hard to coordinate getting even 1 fame from this, much less infinite fame.
Oh, I forgot that Vote and Support couldn’t be the same person. That’s enough for it not to be a problem, then.
CoV:
@Yoda: what if a quorum of insiders both vote for and support the same contestant? Then there’d be no changing necessary, you could just go back and forward forever.
That was probably a simulpost, but the fact that you can’t oppose and support the same contestant means that we can’t ever have a quorum both supporting and opposing the same person.
@Kevan: yes, crossed messages. Which limits the gain to the number of weekly actions a quorum of contestants have between them; probably too low to be worth worrying about, given that that many players working together could do anything they wanted via CFJ. And later on, when we have fewer Insiders, the number of weekly actions available (is there a way to do it on dailies, I wonder?) is likely to be low enough that the scam isn’t worth much.
Coming back in is one of those twists that reality TV shows always seem to overuse. Presumably, because it gets them ratings…
Wak: The Insiders could use this strategically to keep the Outsiders from rebelling.
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.
