In the course of this whole “is a Vote necessarily a Comment” kerfuffle, I’ve noticed that our core Ruleset only expressly defines the _noun_ “Vote”, but the word “vote” is used in the Ruleset as a noun in some places, and as a verb in others.
All I’m sayin’ is I’m just sayin’.
Why is this a proposal anyway?
We’ve traditionally resisted the urge to define every term BlogNomic uses. It seems to me that anything that deviates too far from a common-sense approach to rulesets is sufficiently vulnerable to a CfJ as to be not worth legislating against.
for clarity
Wasn’t intended to be a proposal. I flagged it as category “Null” which, I didn’t realize, still makes it a proposal. (Bug or feature?)
To respond to Amnistar, strictly speaking, the ruleset defines what it means to “cast a Vote”, but it does not expressly define what it means to “vote”.
spike: null is a subcategory of proposal. was intended for something-or-other, so feature, not bug.
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.
Amnistar: he/him
Well, the issue arises that, up until proxies, one could not VOTE without first making a comment. With proxies we now have to establish what it means to vote. Hasn’t been defined before because it wasn’t needed.
