Reached quorum 7 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

To the end of the “Move On” atomic action, add a bullet point:-

* Set every Engineer’s Focus to 500

I think this reduces the scarcity and thus value of Focus. What do you think about adding to Focus instead? Something like:

* Add 200 to every Engineer’s Focus, to a maximum of 500

Reducing scarcity is pretty much the intention. If Focus refills at the end of every round, people are encouraged to play those rounds, use it or lose it. If it’s a precious resource, there’s some temptation to kick back and stockpile it for the endgame instead.

What is BlogNomic?

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.

"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."
