BlogNomic: Ocular Discrimination

Proposal: Ocular Discrimination

Couldn’t pass 4-4 when it timed out (that’s how it works, right?) / Skju

Not when the actual count is 5-4. Re-adminned as enacted by Purplebeard.

Enact a new subrule of “Eyes” entitled “Classification”:

The following are appropriate Classifications of Players with certain numbers of Eyes:

1 Cyclops
2 Rabbit/Sperm Whale/Fruit Bat
3 Enlightened
4 Myopic
5Â Opabinia
6Â Sicarius
7Â Mnemosyne
8 Arachnid
16 Mantis Shrimp

I couldn’t help myself with the Mantis Shrimp.

I know what I’m going to do for the next few days.

Any mechanic that ties into these designations is going to be difficult to balance and a headache to employ.

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."
