Done.  Quorum remains the same.

You know… you could’ve done it yourself, seeing as you’re an admin…

BlogNomic will still be running long after Agora dies.

I looked at this “Agora.” It seems to be a very long-running nomic. Anything special about it?

I think I’d prefer the Blognomic 2 month dynasties over a 5 year marathon, however. But I don’t really know how Agora operates.

Eljefe, Agora is the longest-running nomic ever. It’s been going since 1993.

Has any dynasty here lasted more then 2 months? Not that a 2 month dynasty is bad, just wondering.

i seem to recall rodney’s first dynasty lasting awhile.  at least, i remember aaron telling me he was going to win the longest dynasty ever.

eljefe: wait, you aren’t aware of Agora? You aren’t the guy mentioned here, then?

Also, Agora has people winning regularly; they just don’t reset anything when it happens. At least for a while one current player was winning every month.

No involvement with Agora.

How is it structured? As in, BN has dynasties, does Agora have a similar feature?

No. When somebody wins, the game just keeps going. I don’t know all the details (I don’t play it myself) of Agora’s mechanics for that, but this is an approach that has been used by a number of nomics.

To my mind, the Dynasty system of BlogNomic is the thing that makes it unique and cool.

Agora, by the way, is generally known as the most pedantic and serious of nomics. Which, when you consider the field, is right impressive.
