Proposal: Vive Le Roi

Reached quorum 7 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Enact a new rule, “Louis XIV Powers”:-

The Louis XIV may invalidate any Bid on an open Auction at any time, or close any open Auction with no effect at any time. Bids should only be invalidated in this way if the Louis XIV feels that their bidder is abusing the bidding system in some way.

Per comments on Greater Profligacy, I wouldn’t enjoy this dynasty ending with one rival player producing a chalkboard and explaining why making an infinite number of irrational number bids led to them winning all auctions with a finite debt total of -√2, or something, and the Emperor shrugging apologetically.

In Versailles the Nobles would largely derive their personal wealth from salaries secured from Louis XIV, so this is nicely thematic.

What is BlogNomic?

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.

"Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game. The primary activity of Nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed."
