Proposal: Play Ball
In the first bullet point in “Announcements of Attainment”, change “Nomicers who used the action defined in “Reinitialisation” during Lacuna” to:
Nomicers who used the action defined in “Reinitialisation” during the current state of Lacuna
In “Announcements of Attainment”, change “When a Nomicer has made such a post in this way, the game is placed into a state of Lacuna” to:
When a Nomicer has made such a post in this way, excluding such a post by ais523 on 1 April 2025, the game is placed into a state of Lacuna
And add after the sentence containing that clause:
The game may not be in a state of Lacuna as a result of the aforementioned post by ais523 on 1 April 2025.
Remove from “Equity” the sentence “The default starting Equity for a new Nomicer is their Liability, divided by the number of Nomicers including themselves, rounded up to the nearest integer.” Add a new subrule to Actions above all other subrules called “Initialize” as follows:
No more than once per dynasty, after a Nomicer is unidled but before voluntarily taking any other game actions, a Nomicer may set their equity to their Liability divided by the number of Nomicers including themselves, rounded up to the nearest integer.
Repeal “No Rolling”.
If we’re not going to let ais have their win, I think the sensible thing to do is get back to playing the game. This should give us a clean break from the Lacuna and prevent anyone from being blocked from participating. It also changes the default equity to 0 and provides an action to claim the starting equity, which can only be done outside of Lacuna.
“by ais523” is blocked by the Glossary – you can’t use a Nomicer’s name in a rule without specifically stating that it’s a Nomicer’s name. It’s possible that the rule works anyway (treating the “by ais523” as irrelevant – there was only one Announcement of Attainment that day), but I’m not sure.
in favour of The Eyes Have It.
