BlogNomic: Question:

Story Post: Question:

Curious: Why does my post not change the rules set? It adds the rule under Wages and makes an entry 2.2.2. Perhaps I am not understanding something.

1) You’re not an Admin. (Neither am I.) Once a Proposal is duly approved, an admin must manually make the changes to the Ruleset.

2) Make sure that you configure your preferences to the blognomic wiki so that you see the actual wiki as in effect at the time that you look at it, rather than a previous version stored in your cache.

3) I note that your recent proposal “Patent Rights Act 3” doesn’t actually change the ruleset. (It contains text that looks like a proposed new rule, but nothing in your proposal explicitly said “Add this new rule to the ruleset” or anything like that. Thus, strictly speaking, your proposal doesn’t do anything.

Spikebrennan is correct. Your proposal was a bunch of text with no directions to add anything to the ruleset. =(

What is this?

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. New players are always welcome and can join in 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."
