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.

Question about the idle Groups’ Visitors. Are the Visitors just hidden in the game state or are they actually considered not there? I’m asking because since several Attractions have limits to the number of Visitors, how do the idle Groups’ Visitors get counted (or not) in that maximum number?
Bucky:
I think that the Visitors still exist, they aren’t controlled by anyone, and Front Effects still admit them.

I’d read it as them not, given that the concept is introduced as “Each Group controls a number of Visitors”, but reading it again I think they probably do still exist (but without legal names, because only controlled visitors have names).
I removed Elvis when idling TyGuy, I’ll put him back on the board.
We did take a couple of runs at addressing this kind of idle gamestate generically back in May, but neither took.
