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. New players are always welcome and can join in at any time.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.

Yoda:
Does anyone have a good idea for a logo?
Ely:
If you want I’ll try making one. No graphical designer here though. I was thinking to simply take a shot of the growing crops (I live in a farm)
Galtori:
Flowers too for the logo? (*Entertains her inner woman*)
The GNDT should have more earthy tones I think, but Iwelcome all sorts of other stuff too!
ais523:
I’d suggest dark green on a very light yellow (perhaps #006600 on #FFFFDD), with something like #DDFFDD for blockquote backgrounds, for the blog itself.
Yoda:
Any thoughts on what I did with the GNDT?
Ely:
Psykedelic. Too much I guess.
Klisz:
Syl could make a logo.
Oh, and we could use a new veto icon. We’ve been using this same generic one for quite a while.
Yoda:
Eh, I just don’t trust myself enough to go poking around the blog stylesheet. The GNDT is easy enough, though.
Ely:
Here it is.
Ely:
What do you think?
ais523:
You need the text to be more readable. (Perhaps make it a slightly brighter shade of red? I’m not sure if that would help or not.) Otherwise, I like it.
Ely:
That was my concern too. I’ll try a couple of alternatives.
Yoda:
That does look really nice. I approve
Galtori:
I like it!

Doubly approved
Ely:
I’m glad you like it!
Here is another version, it should easier to read:

Not sure wich is better.
SingularByte:
I think I prefer the newest one.
ais523:
I like the newest one too.
Yoda:
Anyone wanna update the blog?
Travis:
I think the newest one is better
ais523:
Could someone unsticky this? It’s getting in the way of seeing what new proposals are being made, and is much less important.
Kevan:
Unstuck. And I actually preferred the first one, for being a bit earthier. Yoda’s call, though.
ais523:
The first one is really dependent on screen alpha. I’m using a laptop, where the alpha depends on the angle of the screen, and it looks great when the screen’s angled strongly towards me, but awful if I angle it to where it normally is. The second one doesn’t have that problem.
Yoda:
While I do like the first one, the second one is easier to read. That’s why I prefer the second one.
