BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

[ Changing Laws into Rules. I appreciate that it’s a nice distinction, but it’s weird not to have a way to refer to a bunch of paragraphs other than ‘Law or Rule’, and as Bucky has shown, even regular players can mistakenly refer to a Law as a Rule and invalidate a proposal.

The ruleset is actually badly broken in places, through casual use of “rule” to mean “law or rule” - “Posts following the format specified by a rule are considered official posts”, “A keyword defined by a rule supersedes the normal English usage of the word”. ]

All Laws become Rules. Section One of the wiki ruleset shall be renamed “Core Rules”, Section Two shall be renamed “Dynastic Rules”.

Reword Rule 1.1 (Ruleset and Gamestate) to:-

This is the Ruleset for BlogNomic; all Monks must obey it. Section One consists of the “core rules” of blognomic, covering basic Monk and proposal mechanics; Section Two contains the rules of the current dynasty; and Section Three contains the glossary, which exists solely to clarify the remainder of the ruleset. Rules may be referred to by their type and entire number or type and name. (e.g. This Rule may be referred to as Rule 1.1 or the Rule entitled “Ruleset and Gamestate”).

The Ruleset and Gamestate can only be altered in manners specified by the Ruleset.

No Rule may contain a provision that bars itself from being altered and/or repealed. If at any moment a Rule exists or is altered in a manner that renders it to contain such a provision, the entirety of that Rule shall be considered void and with no effects on the Gamestate. The provisions on this paragraph supersede any text in a Rule.

Spivak pronouns, as defined in the Glossary, shall be used whenever a Monk is referred to.

Admin Staff may correct obvious spelling and typographical mistakes in the Ruleset at any time.

In Rule 1.2 (Monks), replace “Laws 1.1 and 1.2” with “Rules 1.1 and 1.2”.

In Rule 1.9 (Victory and Ascension), replace “any number of Rules will be repealed” with “any number of Dynastic Rules will be repealed”.

In Rule 2.1 (Blessings), replace “Law 1.9” with “Rule 1.9” (or remove that entire sentence, if Reductio Victoria II passed).

In Rule 2.24 (Monastery Staff), replace “the purposes of any Law” with “the purposes of the Core Ruleset” and “An Actor (through the Abbot) may do anything that Monks are allowed to do by a Rule. All Rules that apply to Monks also apply to Actors.” with “An Actor (through the Abbot) may do anything that Monks are allowed to do by the Dynastic Rules. All Dynastic Rules that apply to Monks also apply to Actors.”.
