Add a step after the third, in the second bullet list of “The Watch”:-

* Remove all Mines which share a square with a Shot

This basically makes minesweepers directly dominated by double-shooting battleships, ruining the minesweeper-submarine-battle Rock-Paper-Scissors cycle.

Battleships can shoot twice already. Minelayers would be completely ineffective.

Hadn’t considered that. Maybe make submarines the one which can clear mines? CoV

I’d have minesweepers able to remove mines, personally.

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."
