Do nothing.

I’d just like to not be excluded by the timer decrease in https://blognomic.com/archive/modify_ordnances_research_enactment

Waitasec, is a proposal that does not make any gamestate changes even a legal proposal?

don’t see why not. the “change the gamestate” rule only applies to CfJs

This somehow manages to hit every misfit criteria all at once, impressive

for obvious reasons.

(FWIW, I think it’s an entirely reasonable strategy to spend a proposal slot on this.)

“Any Legislator may submit a Proposal to change the Ruleset or Gamestate” arguably doesn’t authorize proposals that don’t.

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."
