My last proposal just scratched the surface. The occupying population is reduced by revolt, but what if another Country has moved in? That other Country loses the population instead and the Country that initiated the Hostile Takeover STILL gets the Territory in the end. Talk about getting someone else to do the work for you!
I think the Hostile Takeover rule needs some more adjustments…
The use of the generic ‘population’ leads to confusion, as does unspecified ‘occupying population’? Whose population is meant? From where? I was trying to clarify this with using the term Country X’s presence in Territory Y.
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.

I thought of that - most of the issues stem from the fact that the rule uses occupying population to refer to the occupying population of the country initiating the Takeover, I think. A rewrite clarifying some numbers is probably in order, but not which changes the rule significantly as Chrono’s new proposal does.
