A single EE site can contain more than one blog. So…
Here’s my idea: a subblog called TestNomic where you can test dynasty ideas. Each dynasty lasts for at most one week, so that the entire dynasty idea isn’t spoiled. TestNomic would also be used by those like Wakukee who like to tinker with EE. You could mess around with TestNomic all you like, and it wouldn’t hurt BlogNomic at all.
Any comments?
Sounds like a bad idea. Can you say laaaaaaaaaaaaaaag?
Well, if we do this, you won’t be able to, the lag will be so bad.
@Wakukee: what I’ve heard from people who know about the lag is that it isn’t being caused by anything to do with BlogNomic, but by problems at the hosting provider. In other words, the problem is not that BlogNomic is overloading the server, but that the hosting company are having problems generally. So this shouldn’t make the lag any worse. (On the flip side of this, don’t go around doing changes to BlogNomic in an attempt to avoid the lag, as it won’t help.)
You got this idea from our discussion yesterday didn’t you.
I like it.
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.
Clucky: he/him
If it doesn’t effect the actual blog at all, I don’t see any reason why not—but then again, you might as well just set up your own site.
