I use “Marching Time” to advance one day, skimming across the shallows of this strange, primaeval world.
I then observe a new Node Event on -4003/1/2: “Massive tectonic shifts across the face of the planet. A firmament appears in the midst of the waters, one Traveller finding himself in a region with familiar-looking rock formations.”
This Event is tagged as being the Perilous creation of Italy by Christianity, and advances my secret goals.
Oh, good point. That’s quite tricky wording, actually, and probably my fault.
Tricky in that what really prohibits the creation of Perilous Node Events is the lack of permission, thanks to good old “The Ruleset and Gamestate can only be altered in manners specified by the Ruleset.”
More that “may create or redescribe a non-Perilous Node Event” is regulating the end result in one context, and the initial condition (irrespective of what it’s changed to) in the other.
True, but “create or alter” wording in general doesn’t usually cause difficulty—it tends to be clear what it means.
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.
