Leaning on a wall to steady himself, the chaffeur inadvertently catches his sleeve on a loose cable connector, and stumbles to the floor. He takes the wire with him, ripping a dusty trail through the plasterboard towards the top of the stairs. With a thunk, it pulls away a doorstop that was holding the basement door open, and the manor is plunged into darkness.
The Basement cannot be entered or exited for 24 hours, and the lights are out.
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.
