Create a new dynastic rule, “Fast Track†with text:
Any pending proposal may be failed immediately by any Admin if the Net has voted VETO on it and the word ‘fast’ was in the EVC containing that vote.
I find the passive-aggressive “self-kill, please fast veto this, WHY HAVEN’T YOU FAST VETOED THIS YET” a little tiresome.
@Kevan: sure there are some annoying players out there, but for the most part I think this could really speed up gameplay.
It is the Net’s job to keep the dynasty running smoothly. The fast veto is a useful tool for doing so.
[Patrick/Bucky] Except the thing that really slows down an active dynasty is when a proposal is controversial (or players are lazy about voting on it) and it jams up the queue while taking 48 hours to time out. A fast veto seems more about letting impatient players repeatedly rewrite their own flawed proposals until they get them exactly right, instead of encouraging others to have a go, with their own spin - the latter has always seemed more healthy for a Nomic, to me.
@Kevan: Well I’ve never really seen the effects of something like this so your point is fair enough.

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.
