Change “counting upwards from the bottom of it.” to
counting upwards from the bottom of it and starting from 0.
This is actually what it does start out with because of default values but making it explicit makes sure people realize this and they’ll decide if they want it to start at a different value.
Oh I made a mistake when reading that line and thought that it used the variable Authority to count up the list, since the rule Numbers and Variables would start Authority at 0.
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.

Can’t see that this has anything to do with default values, and I doubt even a programmer would argue in a natural language context that the initial item in a list was its zeroth rather than its first, but sure, no harm in clarifying.
