In “During Dark Ascendancy”, change
Roll DICEy, where y is the number of spells in the ruleset; the spell described in rule 2.6.y in the ruleset is cast.
to
Let x be the result of DICEy, where y is the number of spells in the ruleset; the spell described in rule 2.6.x in the ruleset is cast.
Ah, I hadn’t noticed that. This should still work as intended, though, since the value of x as defined in the previous paragraph isn’t needed anywhere else.
Per Purplebeard. What was in variable X is replaced by the diceroll and it effect works like intended. This issue needs a fix ASAP.
Kevan: yes we do.
Self-kill. If someone wants to repropose this with the correct rule number (or just rewrite it as “cast the n’th spell”), they should probably follow Josh’s suggestion and define another variable, to avoid confusion.
I don’t see a problem with having multiple “Let X be a certain value, then do something with that value of X.” throughout the ruleset, but maybe that’s just a programmer’s mindset.
Fix proposed.
I agree, but some people are easily confused by these things (like some biologists, from personal experience).
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.
