A squeal of brakes, a blast of megaphone instructions, and the building’s lobby doors are pulled open just long enough to drag a new crate through:-
Axemabaro, card and Cuddlebeam are first on the scene.
I can be your chivalrous knight in shining armor in exchange for something, what do you offer?
I take the Energy Drink
because caffeine goes great with even more caffeine
Note that the current rule for grabbing drinks is that “When an item listed as Consumable would be put into a hand slot, it is instead not put into that slot, and the Resident whose slot it is may apply its effect at that time (with themselves as its User).”
I only want to be ahead of most other Residents; grabbing an energy drink is fine and all, but missing out on useful items in favor of essentially drawing before everyone else leaves you poorly statted. I’m taking the Hard-Hat.
I take the third and last energy drink after the faster ones get there.
Alas ! Nothing but water again !
I refuse to take it… for now.
(@Cuddlebeam: chivalrous knights need no rewards !)
Note that items can no longer be taken from this crate until Fair Play Fix enacts, as the atomic crate action requires a Craction to be taken - and nobody can take one right now.
(I was going to wait for the fix to reach quorum before enacting the proposal that introduced Cractions, so that the fix could be implemented immediately afterwards, but I misread the four comments on it as being four votes - one wasn’t.)
No, you’re good, I didn’t enact the Craction proposal until after you’d taken the water there.
I might be missing something but currently more crates can only mean speeding up rich-get-richer gameplay, so I’m intentionally going to push as close to the sleeping limit to give myself (or someone else) time to propose something.
Yeah but we’ll be more on the lower side of the wealth gap so we’ll have bigger voting power :)
@Pokes: It doesn’t matter, I am the living example as to why:
I had a massive International Esteem advantage during your dynasty, but it mattered for nothing at the time (we just proposal-won). Same with the previous dynasty, where all of my Abilities collected mattered for nothing (due to how the game was proposed to become later on). I had infinite Water during my first dynasty, and it mattered for nothing (because there was no proposal to make that matter).
Lategame proposals are all that truly matter.
Right now all we have are silly frills.
Cuddlebeam, you couldn’t have had infinite water buckets since “Invalid values for game variables can never be used” and infinity isn’t a number.
Well, near-infinite. I actually legitimately had 200 or so. You get the idea lol.
Note that Derrick can now be set to Asleep, as we’ve had three Residents at 1 (or 1.08) Priority since the last Energy Drink went at 01-22-2018 20:36:29. Derrick could have taken one of the Waters at any time in the past 36 hours, but didn’t. (I can’t set their Alertness to zero myself, as the Government is not a Resident.)
Samzeman is also eligible to take the final Water, at this point.
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.

Anyone want to show me some love so I can get something useful ?
...
Please…
Ok, I know what you’re thinking. I’m responsible for this mess, since I was the Director and all, but they fired me ! I’m one of you now.
A low class citizen…
Help…
