Proposal: High Risk High Reward

Third pending proposal at the same time -Klisz

Append this text to the rule “Institutions”

The Casino: More than one player may influence this institution. All players who direct any amount of resources that is greater than 0 towards the Casino influence it. If there is only one player who influences the Casino during a cycle all of those player’s resources, even those that were not directed towards the Casino, are doubled at the start of the next cycle. If there are multiple players who influence the casino during a cycle all of those players’ resources, even those that were not directed towards the Casino, are halved at the start of the next cycle. No players lose any resources directed towards the casino.

This will add an element of risk to the game, it will also give players who are struggling a chance to get back into the game.

because it flat-out contradicts the existing influence rules in a manner where resolving precedence is not straightforward.

I disagree with Bucky; this has more limited scope.

I agree with Bucky, but this is a third pending proposal.

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."
