BlogNomic: Proposed theme

Proposed theme

I don’t know if it would be considered to be extremely poor taste, but I’d like to run a “Government Shutdown” dynasty. Would you be okay with that, or should I go with a different idea?

Would success be shutting it down or getting it started back up?

Success would be merely getting a proposal to pass

Sounds interesting. And, for me, a bit ironic. It was the Nomic game being played in the House that reminded me of when I played BNomic, and started the adventure that brought me here.

Take a look at this and see if it looks a bit nomic to you :-)

As long as the admins aren’t furloughed.

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."
