Add a new subsection to 3.2 Clarifications, titled “Names”:
* A word only refers to the name of an Adventurer if it is explicitly stated.
I know what the older players are thinking, and no, the italics is not a scam. For the newbies: We used to have a rule that made all italic text non-binding.
This also prevents a player scamming by having the name Djinni.
Grammar nazi: The phrase ‘if it is explicitly stated’, without any modifiers such as ‘that it refers to a name’, refers to the subject ‘a word’. Thus, this rule states that if a word is explicitly stated (i.e. if the word itself is written) then it refers to the name of an Adventurer. I think this is good territory for a veto.
To elaborate, this should only apply to the Ruleset, not (say) the first column of the GNDT.
s/k per Bucky and alethiophile (which, by analogy with alethophobia, really should be “alethophile”).
Yeah, it should. I came up with the name by putting the front half of ‘alethiometer’ (from His Dark Materials) together with ‘phile’. I wasn’t even certain aleth was a real root until recently.
Technically, alethophobia should be alethiophobia, though, as alethiophobia is slang and alethiology is not (it’s a branch of logic).
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.
