Reposting my comment here, now that the proposal’s been adminned:
Proto: The last person to convoy through a territory owns it. Tribes without any territory can “respawn” wherever they like, including in another Tribe’s territory (thus taking it over).
Note that if “Never send an admin” passes, this means it takes at least two Tribes working together to take territory from another Tribe. Plus they can only take territory adjacent to a tribe that’s supporting them, of course.
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.

I’ve made some comments over on my new blog.
In summary, I think that these ideas are broken, and need work.

>Secondly, with things the way they are, and if we say going through a Zone claims it, then people could take large swathes of land and crowd out everyone else. (Sure the respawn and strength mechanics kind of solve that, but still.) I suggest that instead, Tribes moving through occupied Zones can occupy those Zones, but otherwise only occupy the Zone their Convoy becomes inactive in.
But it can be easily /re/claimed by someone else, as long as they get support. I’m expecting land to be changing hands often with this mechanic.
Also, I was thinking that intentionally getting your land wiped out by someone else in order to snag a choice piece of land could be a bit of a gambit, but I’m open to other suggestions.

I got around to putting a wiki essay up about why I think “protosals” aren’t great. You have two slots, you can make this a proposal.

I think there’s still a place for them, and I think a complex rule like this which hasn’t yet been formally drafted is suited to protosal format.
Though you’re right that they don’t always get much attention.
