I also propose that cynicism be accepted into the ruleset as the correct manner of communicating proposals. And that extra points be awarded to players for being bitter and/or jaded.
I would have liked to propose a rule whereby points were awarded for sarcasm, but feel that such a rule would effectively be racist, and so I won't. _____________________

Proposal DDG-05: Scoring
02-09-2005 11:23
Proposed,
that, upon acceptance of a Proposal into the Game State as a new Rule, the Positive Valence of the Rule's vote (defined as the number of positive votes minus the number of negative votes within the accepted votes) shall be tallied by the Administrator, that the number of points to be awarded shall be equal to the Positive Valence, and shall be placed into a Point Pool, that the author of the new Rule shall immediately receive one of the points from the Pool, that the remaining points from the Pool shall be distributed in this order: - 1 point immediately awarded to the author of the immediately preceding Rule, - 1 point held in escrow for the player who successfully authors the next Rule accepted, to be awarded to that player's account immediately upon acceptance of the Rule, - 1 point immediately awarded to the author of the second prior rule, and so forth, alternating between more-distant authors of Prior Rules and more-distant authors of Subsequent Rules until the Pool is fully assigned, and that the first player to accrue 50 points under this system is declared the Winner of the Game. == danny d. |

I vote no to this, due to it being overly complex and restrictive of points distribution, and furthermore that it gives no room for pie-scoring nor sex-toys. Further, I propose that the scoring system be based on a percentage of the available points. To be more precise that in order to be declared the winner, a player must have amassed at least 80% of the total points, and that the points awarded be greater than the number of players multiplied by 50% of the total number of proposals, except on Tuesdays, when the first person to declare themselves the winner is pointed at and laughed at for 20 minutes. _____________________

I propose that people make their proposals a lot easier to understand. Pretend you're trying to make a 5 year old understand. Or me.
I propose one sentence proposals with words of less than four sillibubbles. Err. Syllabubs. Err. Those bits of words that sort of sound like they go together. |

Furthermore I propose that everyone stop posting to this thread while I go eat my pizza, except to pass this proposal.

Actually, in seriousness, I propose that a new rule be added to restrict the proposing of obviously trivial proposals with absolutely no bearing on anything, and that people who continue to propose silly proposals be punished by the traditional method of a stern look and wagged finger.

I vote no, out of sympathy for the admin, having moderated MANY games of Nomic in the past. ^_^ |

I propose the following Rule:
The use of vowels in any subsequent posts following the adoption of this proposal as a rule is strictly forbidden, unless the vowel is in a proper noun. My Votes on the following proposals are as follows: YES: I propose we change the rules and hereby make this game Internet Twister YES: I propose again, that we make it naked twister, and have to include pics YES: I also propose that Willow Z become my sex slave. YES: I propose that the rules allowed nakey pics to be posted YES: I propose a change to my previous proposal. Instead of WTF? I would like to know instead: Why? NO: I also propose that the third turnip on the right be known as Gertrude, all other turnips not having names as is their wont. YES: 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 YES: Proposal that sex slaves are available to all Players. NO: I propose that discussion not directly pertinent to a proposal being discussed result in one negative Nomic-point for every offending post. NO: The first player to reach 50 points is declared the winner. The game ends at that point. YES: That Danny DeGroot will be personally liable for a one time payment of $250L to the author of the proposal accepted into the Game State as Rule 10, such liability to be discharged within seven days of the rule's acceptance, YES: I propose that if you don't want the total destruction and hijack of your thread that Eggy share Willow wif at least me. NO because that made me almost throw up: Kris gets an equal share of Willow, and moreover also gets an equal share of the yellow goo oozing from Eggy's crack. YES: I propose that no rule shall ever have a retroactive effect, unless specifically stated in its wording. YES: that no new Rule accepted into the Game State shall have the power to modify an application of any prior Game State to any player. YES: The official mascot of SL Nomic is pie. The filling of said pie shall be determined by Kris Ritter and may change at will. NO: All players voting yes on a proposal that does not pass, shall recieve one point, and all players voting no on a propsal that does pass shall recieve one point. YES: I also propose that cynicism be accepted into the ruleset as the correct manner of communicating proposals. And that extra points be awarded to players for being bitter and/or jaded. YES: I propose that Sio can have whatever she wants as long as she doesnt tickle me YES: I propose that people make their proposals a lot easier to understand. Pretend you're trying to make a 5 year old understand. Or me. (Interpreted to mean that no word greater than 4 syllables can be used) YES: I propose that a new rule be added to restrict the proposing of obviously trivial proposals with absolutely no bearing on anything, and that people who continue to propose silly proposals be punished by the traditional method of a stern look and wagged finger.
