Clarification

Does the text “no one may VETO a Proposal” in rule 1.8.1 “Metadynasties” override the text “may only veto his own proposals and proposals that have been self-killed” in rule 2.1?

Also, isn’t this technically considered the Fourth Metadynasty, not the First Metadynasty of Rodlen (since that was just the name of the rule)?

Yoda! Stop whining.

In all seriousness, 1. No, and 2. No.

Why not? Doesn’t a negative negate a positive in case of a contradiction?

I think it is dynastic rules override core rules.

I think it was Specific beats General.

I think it is arthexis beats Rodlen. Lol.

But the name should still be the Fourth Metadynasty because there is nothing that says this shall be called the First Metadynasty of Rodlen.

BlogNomic is currently
on Hiatus
as a result of
the rule Seasonal Downtime.

What is BlogNomic?

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.

"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."
