Give all Vegetables 10 Mischeif Fedoras, in addition to any they already have.

This should be enough to end the dynasty by cooperative word laddering.

Not sure it’s a good idea, but 10 mystery fedoras is just too good to pass up…

Previous 2 voting icons were made during Hiatus.

Hiatus is now over.

(Hiatus started at 10:01, and ended at 15:58 on the next day. Thus, this proposal doesn’t time out until it’s almost 78 hours old)

I’ve changed my mind. I think I
have a chance of winning without fedoras.

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."
