Remove the following from the rule “The Codex”
A Monk may not use an encrypted rule until e has obtained the string by messaging the Abbot.
Isn’t this a bit abusable, without a penalty for using an encrypted rule incorrectly? Any monk could just fire off huge, random “I gain 1 Integrity, Bucky loses 1, I win the game, all under secret rules” barrages to see if they hit anything, at no risk.
This does depend on what the encrypted rules actually do, though, so I’ll go with 
The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. (Proverbs 10:8)
I am simply not sure that without an external check there is any way to control secret rule use.
You still have to use the Latin “magic string”, however, to use an encrypted rule.
I suppose I should have made that clearer when proposing.
I’m in favor of checking the actions against my list of magic strings and reverting ones where the string doesn’t match the rule.
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.
