Add the following to the Glossary:
In cases of conflict between two rules, the more specific rule takes precedence over the less specific rule.
But are there any cases where this wouldn’t echo the “common sense” we’ve been using so far?
Although I do think this is the basic rule we follow, I think it is an integral part of how the English language is interpreted and does not need to be stated outright anymore than the unspoken rules for parsing an English sentence. When there are disagreements on how an English sentence is interpreted, you make a CfJ. I don’t see any difference here.
dangerously misinterpretable - a system of ‘levels’ for all concepts introduced by rules would be required to have a non ‘common sense’ based definition of what is ‘more specific’.
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.
