Forum Nomic anyone?

I propose Kris is the new boss of the thread, and that she makes up rules including nakeyness, twister and vodka

I vote yes to this.
I also propose that the third turnip on the right be known as Gertrude, all other turnips not having names as is their wont. Also, that the rules be obscured in order to prevent players from actually knowing what's going on.

Yes to the turnip.

I also propose that a rule is enforced, whereby, everyone must thing of at least one sex toy to engage with whilst playing nakey twister

Can that include the 'sex slave' mentioned in an earlier proposal?

Yes, I endorse and support that proposal

Seconded!

oh lordy.......it's United Nations: The Home Game.

since rule #7 says "Anything not prohibited in the rules is allowed" and since there are no rules about winning or scoring i declare my score is infinity + 1 points, that i win, and further more that i rule and everyone else drools.

I vote yes on this.

I also support turnips and sex toys, but not necessarily turnips as sex toys.

I didn't know there was a "Nomic" Website, but I ran across an earlier incarnation of this game (foray, exercise, whatever) about a decade ago. I think it was called "Facism" or somesuch.

I'm not sure what the point is. My current hypothesis is, the point is to gradually define a personal agenda with some publicly-identifiable advantage, and to get the agenda incorporated into the game's ruleset in such a way that you, the author, are the only one who can possibly even understand it, much less navigate to the game's goal with it.

So, yeah..."United Nations, Home Version" probably covers most of the bases

Whatever it is, the Nomic Website shows a constant stream of traffic over the past few years, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Catfart tends to come up with interesting little projects, in my experience.

Danny,
Thanks for that. You know, I dont think anyone has spotted the l$250 prize you offered?


So after 58 replies and 300 or so views, no one has been able to get their proposal trurned into a rule (Remember you need the majority of 5 votes for a proposal to become a rule). Sex Slaves and turnips sound interesting, but until the proposals become rules, they are not part of the game.

Some people have voted no to having a prize of L$250 (Offered by Danny Degroot). Why?

Kris,
Well I suppose it depends on who you are, but yes lots of people find it fun.

Nomics tend to be a bit chaotic to start with, especially with people who havnt played before. Yopu get a lot of the "this rule does not exist" and proposals that they win the game. Eventually people figure out that they only way to get others to vote for a proposal is to make the proposals benefit everyone.
Eventually they settle down to a theme (I assume this one will be SL based, but that depnds on what is voted for). Thats when you have to start developing strategies if you want to win.


I vote no to Willows proposal to turn the game into Internet Twister.
(Siobhan, as Willows porposal does not specify that it is naked twister, I've taken your vote as a no)

I vote yes to Eggy's proposal for a rule that says Willow is his sex slave

I vote no to Siobhan's proposal that sex slaves are available to all posters. Now if it was players I would have voted yes, as sharing of sex slaves amongst the nomic players is obviously a good thing. But according to the rules, a poster does not have to be a player. So if we put the rule in we would have to share the sex slaves with people who are not playing the game!


I vote no to Siobhan's proposal to scape all the rules.

I vote no to Willows second proposal that the game rules be changed to naked twister.

I vote yes to Kris Ritters proposal for a rule that says he would like to know why

I'm rejecting Willow's proposal that Kris is made the Boss of the threa, as there is no Boss in the rules for Kris to become one.

I vote no to Siobhan's proposal about naming the thrid turnip to the left for two reasons. I think the turnip should be allowed to choose its own name and obscuring the rules is a different variant of Nomic.

I vote yes to Willows proposal regarding sex toys
(Willow after that post, you posted again saying you supported a proposal, but I cant tell which proposal you are voting for)

I'm rejecting Zuzi's declaration that he has won, as it is not a proposal to amend the rules


Remember, a proposal cannot become a rule until five people have voted on it.

In that case, I propose that we turn the game into naked internet twister, with web cams.



That was an error on my part, I assumed posters == players, and would then like to reword this proposal to replace the word 'posters' with players, and to call for a re-vote.



Meanie

I propose that discussion not directly pertinent to a proposal being discussed result in one negative Nomic-point for every offending post. Once a player amasses ten negative Nomic-points, his or her right to suggest and vote on new proposals is removed.

(Nomic-police be in the hizzouse!)

I have a webcam and i vote yes for naked twister.

I urge all of my Nomic-compatriots to join me in solidarity, with a no-vote on naked twister. I think such debauchery threatens to undermine the spirit of the game.

I vote no for this/these proposal(s).

I vote no to siobhan's proposal of communal slavery.
I propose that people should be able to own their own sex slaves and that slaves should only be shared under their own and their owner's consent.
Catfart, this would be a lot more fun in-world, where we could use some sort of script to help organize proposals and votes

I vote NO to this proposal.



I vote YES to this proposal.

Proposal : Upon adoption of Rule #9 after adoption of this proposal, or upon adoption of this proposal after adoption of Rule #9, all other rules besides Rule #9 shall be repealed (including this rule).

This will leave this game in an unamendable pardoxical state.

- Ace

Duude.... this is some good shit you been smoking.

I vote for the webcam proposal!

I also propose this game ending cos I can't play it properly

Is that a YES vote on my proposal then?

- Ace

I abstain from voting on the sex-slave proposal, but I vote yes on the pseudo-proposal regarding an in-world proposal adjudication system.

I'm not sure what this means but it gave me a tingly feeling in my no-no place when I read it. Therefore, I vote yes.

Your proposal is unworthy of a mere binary vote.
Thus, I elect to vote (YES+NO)/2 and genuflect in your general direction

Proposed,

a "Sense of the Forum" proclamation, whereby all lands and parties be advised

- that turnips have one and only one purpose,

- that nobody knows what it is,

- that Neehai, by dint of his commendable caution in the matter of turnips, be proclaimed on the occasion of the acceptance of this proposal into the Game State as either "Neehai Zapata: Onto Something" or "Neehai Zapata: On Something" or "Neehai Zapata: Both" but under no circumstances "Neehai Zapata: Neither,"

- that Neehai Zapata be awarded a one-time research grant of $100L by Danny DeGroot, payable within seven days of this Proposal's acceptance as a rule,

- that Neehai be held strictly accountable for the expenditure of the grant according to the RW precedents established by the Government of the U.S.A.; to-wit: that he be utterly free to piss it away on shopping sprees, island-sim junkets, or whatever else may occur to him, without obligation to mention the grant again,

but,

- that Neehai must apply for the grant by publicly identifying his own status from the options offered three clauses ago, such identification serving as the necessary proclamation,

- that Neehai may provide an alternative title for his status of his own choosing, as long as the number of words making up the title is a prime number,

- that the title must begin with "Neehai Zapata: ", and that the prepended words do count as two words toward the total word count of the title,

- that Neehai may pre-identify his status at any time prior to the acceptance of this Proposal into the Game State, with the status instantaneously active upon the acceptance of the Proposal,

- that Neehai may make only one such proclamation concerning this Proposal and its scope,

- that the offer of the grant will expire if this proposal has failed to achieve Rule status before 13 March 2005, or if Neehai has not publicly identified his research status before 15 March 2005, or if his single allowed proclamation is of an alternate title and that title's word count fails to meet the commonly-accepted definition of a "prime number."

I vote no to DDG's proposal on the ground that it is too long
