To the end of the ‘Social Structure’ Rule, add the following text, which defines two new Contestant keywords:
A Contestant who supports themselves is an Independent, unless they are supported by no other Contestant, in which case they are a Loner.
Vetoed -Bucky
. Contestents were never intended to support themselves. This is implied but not enforced by the current wording of the rule.
I see no problem with supporting oneself, I didn’t realize it was supposed to be disallowed?
@Qwazukee:
“The Support statistic represents the other Contestant whom that Contestant would most likely go to for advice”
@Yoda:
“Two Contestants who support each other are a Pair”
Lol, that stuff is woefully undefined; we can pretty much ignore it. But I see how that was intended, now that you mention it.
I suspect Bucky is right that this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense in the current ruleset, but I would defer to the host since all it does is add to the complexity of the still irrelevant support terminology.
I think one should be able to support oneself. I mean, I go to myself for advice all the time.
Hmm voted yes on both of these. Strange, I think I prefer this one.
“There is a GNDT column called “Support†whose legal values are the names of all non-Host Contestants.”
Therefore, you can support yourself, it just causes a hole in the theme.
Antiquorumed, I think. It’s back of the queue anyway so a veto won’t make any difference.
@yuri: It fails as soon as an admin notices and is removed from the queue.
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.
