Manifesto: Rules of Order

If I end up running a Dynasty, it would have some kind of a parliamentary procedural theme to it. The actual gameplay would revolve mostly around making proposals that restrict what other proposals may be made.

This is the basic mechanic of the Fantasy Rules Contest, and it works pretty well. (Three other unusual facts about the FRC are that the equivalents of proposals pass by default, and fail only if they’re banned by the current ruleset or if enough people dislike them to vote them down; that the victory condition is that you’re the last person legally capable of submitting a proposal; and that trying to win, at least towards the start of a dynasty-equivalent, is normally considered bad form.)

What is BlogNomic?

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."
