Add a new rule, “No lies”:

No Voter may make any false statements either on the blog or on the IRC channel #nomic on the network irc.slashnet.org.

This statement is false.

In second thought this is a good idea

Beware of coercive logic, etc. Agora’s had this rule for quite a while, and it’s needed several changes in order to prevent people deliberately creating muddled gamestate with it, or trying to create paradoxes, etc. BlogNomic’s culture is different, but I still worry it would lead to a mass of CFJs along the lines of “he was lying” “no I wasn’t, I was mistaken” ...

Also, this is politics. Politicians lie.

Good old coercive logic.

The lie is essential to any sort of politicking.

What is BlogNomic?

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.

"Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game. The primary activity of Nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed."
