You’re joining at a slightly odd time as we’re in the middle of changing the software used to run the blog. It’s been a slightly protracted process but will hopefully be wrapped up in the near future. If you find the game too slow and impenetrable then you may want to check back again in a month or so.
In the meanwhile, in terms of mentoring, we’ll need to find a willing volunteer. Anybody interested should please comment here - otherwise you may want to try asking around on Slack.
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."
