Add the following Oddity to Marble Arch:
Marble Arch is always considered Unoccupied. If two or more players are in Marble Arch, they may change the n-th letter in their own Trail to the n-th letter of any other player’s located in Marble Arch. They may not change the others’ Trails.
I’m in Angel.
Because it explicitly permits two Players to collude in order to compose the Trail of one of them.

Changed my mind on this because it’s not a daily action, meaning that a player can copy the entirety of another player’s trail over in one go if they wish. In other words, it makes farming trail combos amongst a cabal fairly trivial.
Is it that dangerous? If you farm an UNLOCK off of an accomplice, and use it, then your Trail is now reduced. I’m assuming that the fact you can only “change the n-th letter” means that if you only have one letter in your Trail, you can’t copy the second, third, fourth and fifth letters of “UNLOCK”.
You’d only need three accomplices to achieve victory instantly under the terms of “An alternative unlocking proposal”. That’s well within the reach of a moderately organised IRC channel.
They’d all have to have six letters in their Trail already, but fair enough - the game is more interesting if a single UNLOCK isn’t the end of the world.
Is this proposal self-killed? (What does a self-DEF mean? I remember we had this argument before…)
Last time we decided that it was indeed self-killed. I remember, because that was right before I added some modifications to BNscript, and that is one of the features I added.
Expliciting. If it was already self-killed, this may be an illegal move or an invalid vote, I don’t know.
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.
CoV. Did not think it could be so dangerous.
