Timed out and enacted, 5-4. Josh

Add a rule to the ruleset, entitled Trial Run:
Poindexter may at any time create a new DEVA, then delete this rule.
It’ll be easier to see what this dynasty feels like once there’s some action going on.
Assuming Kevan will wait for the next proposal to pass before doing it so that we can’t spam Fire Posts
The combination of Special Features + Free reign to create whatever Josh wants feels dangerous. Couldn’t he add a DEVA with something like
“Special Feature: Add a new Core Rule that says Josh is permanent emperor for life”
CoV
I guess this should be worded as “create a new Bogey”. That is how I was thinking of it.
Bear in mind the terminology changes coming through in Start the Clock
@clucky I don’t think this would allow me to create a new subspecies of DEVA, just a new individual
Err, . I don’t think we should have a live target until after “Ejection Backlash”.
That said, this is an elegant way to handle the problem where starting gameplay too early means people focus more on playing than on proposing, because it causes another proposal phase if things don’t come together during the trial period.
@Bucky Note that this wouldn’t bring a bogey in immediately - they would be scheduled to emerge from the breach between 24 and 120 hours after I active the provisions of the rule.
(I probably won’t rush if there’s critical proposals still in the pipeline.)
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.
