I Told You There’d Be Murders

Florw and and RobinHood3 idle out after more than 7 days of inactivity. Quorum is now 5.

Comments

Is it better for this dynasty if I idle out and stay out of the action so the quorum stays lower? Or would it be more beneficial to the dynasty if I remain lurking and the quorum is higher? If it would be better that I stay out then I won’t post again until the new dynasty but if it’s better for me to stay in then I’ll post once every week.
Either way, I’m sticking around for the next dynasty! Good luck to whomever will win this one!:D

This one will definitely be over in a few weeks, maybe sooner. I’d suggest just watching for now and jumping in when things restart :).

Yeah, the ruleset is so that the Dynasty will end with the month of May, or sooner.
As for the quorum I don’t think that’s something relevant: if you want to play, you’re always welcome, whatever the quorum.
(Though technically (and selfishly) it is in my best interests that the quorum be the lowest possible!)

Okay then:P I didn’t want to mess somebody up by having the quorum higher or lower than what it should be w/out me since I’m not really playing!

What is this?

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. New players are always welcome and can join in 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."
