Timed out and passed, 9-0. Josh

Add a new subrule to the Hard Rules, entitled Echronomics:
Any gamestate change that is triggered by the passage of time in a Dynastic Ruleset only takes place when it is occupied by a Time Monk.
To avoid me having to fulfil every “Once a week…” function in a hundred rulesets every Monday morning.
The net effect is the same both ways, but it feels better to be explicit.
If you like. Of course, fulfilling the “once a week…” functions in 20 different rulesets isn’t going to be a barrel of laughs either.
Yes, the rod that I have created for my own back is a source of concern, but we’ll see how we go.
So you could avoid paying your taxes, or whatever other unpleasant weekly action, by cycling out and in again with the right timing…
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.

I’m not sure this is actually a problem - nowhere do we say that all rulesets are binding, only that “A Time Monk is subject to the Dynastic Rules of the final ruleset of the Dynasty that they occupy”.
