BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Higgledy piggledy
Poetry nomical
Tries to be comical
As you can see.

This ain’t a haiku, al-
Though if you like-oo the
Scribblings of Spike-oo, then
Please vote for me.

My BlogNomic, oh my Nomic
The only nomic I know
I’ve often thought of leaving you
but don’t know hwere I’d go.

For Agora has no dy-nas-ties and
B just can’t compare
to a lovely EE failure
when dust is in the serv-air.

BlogNomic, oh my Nomic,
is such fun on Friday nights
when Rouge Admin drops another
“prank” and everybody fights.

And I love you when you’re in Hiatus
And I love you when you’re slow
And at the start of a dy-nas-ty when the traffic is so
high it could make you blow.

But Tun-err BlogNomic, oh my BlogNomic,
Please stay just the way you are
‘Cause I think the world
Outside of Blog-
Nomic is biz-arre.

When you want to be a-fightin’,
A-savin all the world,
You just gotta be a-joinin’,
The DDA is currently a-hirin’.

The dogs in the park
flying upon bees
on my delightful spark
exiting lemon trees
an exquisite cadaver

Challenges can be hard to fit in
Between time in the bedroom and gym
I missed the last test,
but I’m good as the rest,
though my skills as a poet are thin.

Darknight is awesome
You should support him
And also vote for him his poem
Clucky, on the other hand
Cannot rhyme

Nomaiku
by Darth Cliche

Every nomic has
so many flaws that players refuse
to join any of them

Agora has a
daunting ruleset which can make
potentials tremble

B is constantly
resetting and rebuilding -
no structure at all

Fresh Nomic? Ha, ha!
My god, it’s full of loopholes!
Sockpuppets can vote!

InterNomic II:
only existing players
of nomic can play

Mailing lists can be
somewhat unfriendly when they
do not have archives.

BlogNomic is the
only “ideal” nomic in
existence at all.

Nomerick
by Darth Cliche

Potential nomic players will not play,
because there are flaws in their way,
flaws penetrate every nomic,
just as they do every comic,
but potentials are still scared away.

Agora’s ruleset is large,
so huge it cannot be barged,
as ais has explained,
it doesn’t cause pain,
but newcomers refuse to charge.

B Nomic must always reset,
which poses a threat,
to newcomers who want to try,
as the rules will go flying by,
and be replaced with a new ruleset.

Fresh Nomic is broken,
it has too many holes to be spoken,
and then there’s Yally,
who’s putting Fresh in a valley,
and of Fresh’s dangers, this is just a token.

InterNomic II is only for those,
who already play nomic in rows and rows,
and is thus not useful,
for those who aren’t nomicful,
and thus newcomers are “no"s.

Mailing lists have a difficult gist,
their archives too often don’t exist,
so it is hard to know what’s going on,
which can cause a new nomic player to yawn,
and for others, it will make them pissed.

BlogNomic, on the other hand,
is simple but holeless (and not even bland),
newcomers are welcome at any time,
and simple mistakes are not crimes,
plus: you can laugh at DDA High Command.

Blognomic
by Qwazukee

This is Blognomic; here we got some rules,
They ain’t too tough, so I pity the fools,
Who don’t understand
The command
Of a C-f-J,
It ain’t ok,
Why do you even play?
Proposals and Dynasties aren’t for the light of heart,
So I’ll lay it down for you now; here’s some peeps who play it smart:

Qwazukee, Wakukee, and Darth Cliché,
Chillin’ with Rodlen and the DDA,
Fightin’ for Dimensional Stability by day,
And at night, relaxin’ at the BuckyStar Café.

Psycho’s in the Lounge,
spikebrennan’s up in bed,
For food we’ll have to scrounge,
Or else we’ll go unfed.

ais is layin’ Draft Proposals on the credenza,
Him & arthexis makin’ stuff so smart they oughta be in Mensa,
The genius of our Ruleset should give you some sense a’
Why the Swine Flu ain’t got nothing on Influenza.

smith has got the Fame,
yuri’s got the Looks,
While Bucky’s getting’ Lucky
Clucky’s hittin’ the books.

From Darknight, to delta, to TAE,
Just doin’ they thing, down in the GNDT,
The stats are all up there for you to see,
But the show ain’t over ‘til the DoV.

That’s the end of the story, now you know what we’re about;
When it comes to cool Rules, we’ve got a lot to flout.
Our Gamestate’s clean, our History is long,
In years to come, we’ll still be going strong.
I hope you can see what I’ve been trying to say,
When it comes to nomicking, Blognomic leads the way.
Other nomics die, or slowly fade away,
But Blognomic’s here, and it’s here to stay.

The poems here by Darth Cliche
Don’t have a good beat, don’t you say?
Whereas, when I write
My meter is tight
Unless I decide that following strict metric conventions would simply get in the way.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Nomics are awesome,
And so are rules.

Simplicity out the window,
Logic out he door,
Cameras on the ceiling,
Darth fell through the floor.

The fruits are in the garden,
Fifty feet underground,
The fridge contains a Cessna
and the host just can’t be found.

Some came here for the money some, Just to flee from life,
Some came here for the company,
Devenger took the only knife.

We’re all going crazy in this house,
Though most of us started sane,
We tried to order food for all, Rodlen ordered a plane.

Just a great nomic.
Overwhelmingly great.
It is awesome.
Nobody can stop it.

There are great people.
Heroes of the nomic.
Everyone likes Blognomic.

Darth Cliche keeps on doing stuff.
Dangerous fruits cause disease.
Also, a plane is in the fridge.

That last one was my only serious attempt at writing a poem here.

A HISTORY OF BLOGNOMIC STARTING FROM THE POINT WHEN DARTH CLICHE JOINED
by Darth Cliche

It all began on November Twenty-Fourth,
during the age of Jason Smith,
I made a proposal (which failed, for what it’s worth),
but I found a few people to ally with.

I chose to side with the DDA,
but then revolted and joined Shade,
and then there appeared many CfJs -
I wasn’t really of much aid.

Then came the First Meta of Rod,
we split up into the Factions,
but then there was EEB (not a puppet of odd),
and then I idled, because of Yoda’s actions:

Yoda scammed to make me win,
everyone was tired of Blo, Gno & Mic,
so I finally idled, having been kicked in the shin,
and Yoda dropped the veto brick.

And then we thought my account had a quirk,
everyone has it, but we thought I was an admin,
and this caused Rodlen to go completely berserk,
and eventually, Yoda made them give in.

So then arthexis got the Relics,
we gave his DoV 116 comments,
we voted for the theme across Styx,
and we chose “words are bent”.

Guess the Theme was the name of the game,
Gourmet Drag Racing on Mars,
eventually we got arthexis tamed,
but not without a few scars.

Afterwards came the Fourth of Amni,
the nation was at war with Eastasia,
the General idled, so Devenger won with glee,
and all the soldiers went to Malaysia.

Finally, there was Dev’s dynasty,
where we were scripting a blockbuster,
ais’s plan was a bit nasty,
and in the end everyone was flustered.

And here we are with Reality TV,
everyone is being driven insane,
let’s hope no-one goes on a killing spree,
because if so, everyone will be slain.

This line may be modified at any time
As long as it holds to the meter and rhyme.

Nomics change and nomic scare,
poor poor noobs out their underwear.
Change that word, repeal that rule,
ungodly big rulesets make me drool.
One vote no and two votes for,
proposals enter enactments door.
We play for fun and we play for kicks,
many a nomic so take your pick.

Once, I would break the rules -
I was childish and should have known better.
Then, I would bend the rules -
I was youthful and thought I was clever.
Then, I would make the rules -
The nomical artist, proving my mettle.
Now, old and confused -
I follow all rules to the letter.
