In the rule “Highway”, change the text
may make one Inactive Route in their pool become Active
to
may make one of the first three Inactive Routes in their pool become Active
This problem - situations where you need to hit all your double dailies to compete - still exists and I will keep proposing versions of this until it goes away.
I still don’t see Bucky’s point here. Surely the entire game is set up so that players who have the grindy determination to process their entire pool and buy new routes each week are in a stronger position, irrespective of how Highways work?
@Kevan: Processing the entire pool requires you to hit three dailies (i.e. six double-dailies) out of 7 (14), i.e. be online three days a weeek.
The current rule makes it potentially optimal to do something that requires you to hit all seven of your dailies (all 14 double-dailies). That’s considerably grindier; it’s arguably reasonable to require a 3-days-out-of-7 grind (e.g. I did no dailies yesterday), but much less reasonable to require a 7-days-out-of-7 grind.
Ah, I’d forgotten that only the top five routes became Active each week, so there’s not an indefinite grind.
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.
