When Josh added my name to his declared Alliance, I started sending private messages to him, not thinking that I also would need to set his name in my Alliance for it to be a legal two-way communcation. Here were the two messages I sent:
Hello, and welcome to The Grand Machine’s Alliance Chain and Tea Emporium™
Actually, I don’t have your name in my Alliance, so I think I can’t actually talk to you, but you can talk to me. I’ll post these two messages in a blog post.
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.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.
Josh: he/they
I cannot talk to you privately either, of course, as alliances have to be bidirectional to work.
