In the rule “Fuel”, replace “each Shuttle with less than 15 Fuel gains 3 Fuel. The Traffic Warden gains the 3 Fuel even if it has 15 or more Fuel.” with:-
each Shuttle with less than 15 Fuel gains 7 Fuel. The Traffic Warden gains the 7 Fuel even if it has 15 or more Fuel.
7 Fuel per week = one Manoeuvre action per day.
Getting through 7 Fuel a week doesn’t seem like a very high bar for “the most active players”. Every Shuttle either has a second Thruster already or can easily afford one, and everyone can Hover - that’s 4 Fuel a day if you choose to fire all three. The basic weekly allowance should be more than 3 Fuel.
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.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.
Bucky:
This would have been a really bad idea earlier because it meant that an actively proposing Shuttle with only one Thruster could not take all its actions.
Now that a second Thruster is available, it’s not disastrous. But
because it unduly favors the most active players. If you want one Maneuver per day, write proposals.
