Proposal: Zoinks [Special Case]

Fails 1-2. — Quirck

Set the Special Case rule “Alliances” to Active.

Why have a variable-traitor mechanic unless there’s something to betray?

I’d prefer prisoner’s dilemmas more than alliances since they actually have an effect on the mid-game.

Not sure this follows. Plenty of gameplay in Katastrophe just having more powers than everyone else, at the cost of some punishment if we’re able to identify/trap/etc them.

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."
