REPRESENTING: Prince Anduril, Flurie
Add a new paragraph to the ‘Employment’ rule with the following text:
No Player may Employ any other Player if doing so would cause both Players to Outrank each-other.
The obvious way to stop people winning is to create employment Triads. This rule prevents this from happening.
Ooh, also, a loop doesn’t cause winning by employing everyone to fail, unless the winner is in a loop.
Spitemaster: it does since someone in a loop can’t be outranked by anyone outside the loop
Not true. Anyone in a loop outranks themself. For example, assume A employs B who employs A, and C employs A. Then:
A Player Outranks another if the first Player Employs the second, or if the first Player Employs a Player who Outranks the second.
C outranks A.
A outranks B.
Therefore, C outranks B.
Why? A triad is easier to break up than three free agents. Loops are cool.
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.

Spitemaster:
Not a proposal.
Except the current loops should be resolved first. So
