After marking Tracking Conflict enacted, I erroneously concluded it was instead Unpopular and marked it failed. This falls into the same problem as the DoV, except that the gamestate updates had platonically occurred prior to the CfJ becoming illegal and thus weren’t prevented, and even though it’s illegal it can’t be marked as such after it has already resolved.
I have therefore reverted its status to Enacted as a Rule 4.2.2 correction, and its changes stand.
I think the best way to interpret this is that Bucky gained permission from the core rules to make the changes (as a consequence of the CFJ being enacted), before the CFJ became unable to have any further effect on the ruleset or gamestate. So Bucky could then make the changes.
It doesn’t matter anyway, though – I’m planning to repeal all the relevant rules by Ascension Address anyway, so it doesn’t really matter whether they were legally changed or not.
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.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.
Josh: Observer he/they
I will note that gamestate changes can’t occur platonically (“For gamestate which is tracked in a specific place (such as a wiki page), any alteration of that gamestate as a result of a Worker’s action is (and can only be) applied by editing that data in that place”) but don’t think we should make a big deal out of this.
