Create a new Institution, named “The Taxmen” reading:
When a player influences the Taxmen, they gain X Power, where X is equal to one fourth of the number of credits they directed at the Taxmen. In addition, every other player loses Y Credits, down to 0, where Y is equal to half of the number of credits they directed as the Taxmen.
Deflation deflation…
The “they” isn’t clear. Is it half the credits the person who influenced the taxman gets? If that’s the case, it could let rich people ruin everyone. If its half the credits each individual person directed it still has the whole “if you lose credits or marines during cycle resolution, it might screw up later bids” problem.
“In addition, after every Institution has been resolved, every other Player loses Y Credits…”
(Not voting because of the ambiguity: I would be for if ‘they’ refered to every other player, and against if ‘they’ refered to the Influencing Player.)
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.
