Proposal: WHA-POW!

Fails 2-3 as the number of Villagers not voting against is less than quorum. — Quirck

Add to “Symptoms”

A Villager may Punch a Villager which is Near to them by making a blog post announcing this. The Villager who was targeted by the posted Punch acquires Mouth Pain.

If this goes through I’m proposing a full list of ways to cause all the other possible symptoms and implements to cause them with which take up space in the inventory.

We actually have that in the form of Treatments but direct violence is more fun lol

CoV on reflection, given how casually Remedies have been thrown at people recently, and that the fiddliness (whenever someone is punched, I have to message them privately to inform them that they have been punched) doesn’t seem worth the minor game effect of possibly accelerating another villager’s Pox.

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."
