The BlogNomic IRC applet is now back in the sidebar, and running, if anybody wants to discuss game events there.
I didn’t have sufficient server privileges to fix things on the BlogNomic server, so I’ve just set up an exact copy of the IRC applet on my own machine. If anyone would rather connect through their own client (I’d forgotten that Trillian had IRC functionality), it’s the #Nomic channel on moo.slashnet.org.
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.

How does authentication work on this, again? We can tie our usernames to email addresses? Can everybody see those email addresses?
If somebody wants to write a summary of how that works, I’ll put it on the applet page.
