Welcome aboard folks:)

I guess we could go ahead and begin if you want to. I know a couple 
of other folks who will be joining us in a day or two, that will make 
five of us which I think is a good number to start with, What do yall 
think?

Is there anything we need to change about the ruleset before we begin 
play? Something that you have found that makes computer play easier 
or something?

BTW I am a little green at this, but once things get rolling I will 
fall right into it.

I think it'd be best to wait. Be sure there really are five or so of
us before starting.

Thank you for the welcome. I am glad I found this game when I did. I've
always wanted to play in a fresh game of Nomic with the original ruleset,
but was hesistant to start a game myself. Now I don't need to start one. ;-)

I have played in two 'real-life' games but have never played on the 
internet before. I was (and still am a little) a little leery of 
setting one up, but the idea of joining a game that had two years 
worth of rules to peruse didn't appeal to me too much so here we are. 
Hopefully we will have a couple of other folks joining our little 
party in the next day or two and we can start the fun and games... 
now that the ball seems to be rolling I am itching to start. :)

Two years seems a bit of an exaggeration - BB Nomic 
(http://nomic.net/~g2) has only been going a month, is still running 
slowly and simply enough for new people to jump aboard, and could 
really use some new blood. Once the Administrator wakes up, anyway.

Running an Internet Nomic before you've played one seems a 
particularly brave thing to do, anyway - appropriate kudos to you. 
It'll be interesting to see a Nomic involve without overwhelming 
input from veterans, really.

Mm, count me in, anyway.

Bits and pieces, but nothing that can't be fixed during the course of 
the game, really. It'll be refreshing to play a Nomic from the 
initial Suber ruleset for a change.

One thing about the Nomic itself, though - does it have a name? As 
you've doubtless noticed, online Nomics tend to give themselves names 
(typically "[Something] Nomic"), if only to distinguish them from one 
another. It'd make conversation and linking and bookmarking and 
whatnot rather easier if we gave this one a moniker.

(Although I suppose we could establish one by Proposal, really.)

Five sounds like a decent number to start with. I would wait 
until they are actually around first though... I would recommend 
setting a date for when you want to start and let everyone know about 
it. Perhaps this weekend?

Also, I have let a few of my friends know about this game. If we 
wait until the weekend to start, it will give them a few days to get 
aboard if they desire.

Well, the eGroups name is n_omic, which is no stupider than a lot of
Nomic names. Pronounced, I would assume, "enn-omic" (long or short o
according to taste!).

Hmm, it's been a while since lilith was heard from and considerably
longer for Doug, so even if the Admin admins it's not obvious to me BB
Nomic has a future... still, doesn't hurt to try, eh? In fact, a
"hey, what's up, can I join?" message from a newcomer might be what
the game needs. And if not, we could always kidnap the ruleset for a
new Nomic... I'd hate to see all the time I spent on that
Adjudication proposal go to waste...

Maybe I will go take a looksie. The other one I thought of joining 
eems to be stagnating at the gate.

I used to play in the micronationalist movement a little, I even led 
acouple of governments so I am thinking and hoping that Nomic will 
not be any worse than that. :)

I thought of Penguinomic... but then I rethought it...yall might not 
have liked that so I just chose a simple name like nomic but it was 
already taken in Egroups so n_omic was born.

I am all for a name change.

Welcome to Benjamin Gimpert.

I will be updating the player roster at our site at 
http://eud.sphosting.com/nomic.html. Is anybody here not a player? 
And Kevan, do you have a last name? I dont guess it really matters 
except for rule 201, which might be changed.

Or "Nunderscorenomic", I suppose...

(Or maybe we could have the second letter of the Nomic's name 
randomised every week.)

Sweet... Busting at the seems with anticipation! ;-)

Seems my friends aren't too interested in playing at this time. Ah well...
Sorry to get your hopes up. Looking forward to the first proposal this

Enact a new Mutable Rule with the following indented text:-

This Nomic shall have two official names. The first official
name shall be "N_omic" (pronounced "Nunderscorenomic").

The second official name shall be either Naomic, Neomic,
Nhomic, Niomic, Nnomic, Noomic, Nuomic or Nyomic. This name
may only be altered through means specified by the ruleset.

Any Player may post a message to the mailing list with the
subject line "Age of [name]", where "[name]" is one of the
possible second official names of N_omic.

Upon posting such a message, N_omic's second official name
shall become that stated in the subject line, and the Player
who posted the message shall lose five points in payment for
the ceremony.

Upon this Rule's enactment, N_omic's second official name
shall be set to "Nuomic" and this paragraph shall
automatically remove itself from the ruleset.

{ Sorry for not waiting 'til the weekend, but I'm probably not
going to be around much during it.

This is a Proposal to establish an official name for the
Nomic, anyway, and to play a bit with the "changing name"
joke.

It might be interesting if the Nomic acted differently
depending on its second name; Nhomic only permitting repeal
proposals, Neomic only allowing new enactments, Noomic seeing
double-points for everyone, Nyomic requiring all proposals
to be submitted in limerick form, or whatever. Just a starting
point. }

Just thought of one small improvement to the proposal. The third
paragraph states that "Any player may post a message to the mailing
list..." Yet we have not defined any sort of mail list for the game. I
would suggest that the new rule state something along the lines of "Any
player may send a message to all the other players..." That way we can
enact another rule that specifies exactly how messages should be passed to
all the players.

The reason I suggest this approach is because of a proposal I am
considering that would specify the official mailing list for this Nomic.
Since I have experienced problems with eGroups, I am going to put an
emergency backup clause in the proposal, to allow gameplay to continue even
if eGroups drops off of the face of the earth. Referencing a mailing list
elsewhere in the rules will make it difficult to use the emergency backup
method.

... but I would like to see early proposals addressing some less
frivolous issues.

I've never played by the Suber initial ruleset before. Now that I am
I'm starting to see lots of things I'd like to see change.

One of the first will be making Rule 105 mutable and amending it.
Requiring all players to participate in all votes is a recipe for
early Nomic-death -- as I read it, if I never submitted this vote, the
game would be over. 

Specification of the forum(s) in which the Nomic takes place is
important. 

There are others but those are the first that come to mind.

I wouldn't ammend rule 105. I would create a new rule that specifies
that if a player doesn't send a required message, such as a rule proposal
or a vote, after a specified length of time they are dropped from the game.

That would address permanent dropouts, I guess, but wouldn't allow for
temporary absences. As it is, anytime someone goes on a two-week
vacation, the game's frozen for two weeks. Not good.

For that matter, the ruleset does not define the term "player". It
should.

Help yourself. I tried doing that yesterday but it kept making everything 
alpahbetical and while we are running alphabetially it doesn't look that way 
due to keeping identities secret and what not... If you can do it help

Subject: To keep this Nomic moving, I invoke judgement.
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
From: Jeff Weston <jjweston@p...>

In accordance with rule 212, I invoke judgement. I have a disagreement
regarding rule 105 regarding the definition of "player". With respect to
the vote on proposal 301, this Nomic appears to be stuck while waiting for
Benjamin Gimpert to cast his vote.

I have examined the eGroups message archive and have not found even one
message from Benjamin Gimpert. I feel that his status as player in this
Nomic is questionable at best. To ensure this Nomic doesn't fall apart even
before it gets off the ground, I suggest we consider that Benjamin Gimpert
is not a player at this time. If we ever hear from him, we can reinstate
him as a player at that time.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, I feel that according to rule 212 I am the
judge for settling this particular question, since I would preceed Kevan in
the order of play. If that is the case, I feel compelled to agree with
myself. If no one has disagreements over this matter, I would say lets
continue the game with Jon Grimm's turn.

As per rule 212 the judgement needs the consent of the majority of 
the players before play can continue, so I grant my consent.

Gimpert never stated to me or this board whether he wanted to play or 
just observe. He was placed on the Roster on the chance that he 
wanted to play.

"Detecting"? Where?

Anyway, I've read the book and have, indeed, gone so far as to push a 
Nomic in its direction already, a couple of years back; 
http://members.tripod.com/pelmet

Stealing Nomic theme ideas from quality literature seems a good idea, 
but I think I'd rather try something that hadn't been done before. 
Hm. Although it depends what exactly gets proposed, I suppose.

Alright... With Kevan's consent, Benjamin Gimpert is dropped. Prop 301
fails. Kevan loses 10 points for it failing. Kevan receives 8 points for
receiving 80% favorable votes for his proposal. Play can now continue with
Jon Grimm.

Whew!

voter. Every eligible voter must participate in every vote on rule-
changes, unless the eligible voter has announced eir absence to the 
other players in advance.

Hmm... If this proposal even legal? I was under the impression that
proposals can make only one adjustment to the rules. Is this not the case?

Indeed:-

103. A rule-change is any of the following: (1) the enactment, 
repeal, or amendment of a mutable rule; (2) the enactment, repeal, or 
amendment of an amendment of a mutable rule; or (3) the transmutation 
of an immutable rule into a mutable rule or vice versa. 

Since Jon's Proposal isn't a legal Rule Change, I guess that means 
we're still waiting for him to propose a Rule Change (ignoring his 
Proposal just as we'd ignore any other message that wasn't a legal 
Rule Change).

Hm, curious; what Enactment did you have in mind that would work 
alongside an intact "Every eligible voter must participate in every 
vote on rule-changes." in Rule 105?

I vote FOR Proposal 302 because it seemed like a good idea, anyway, 
even if it's now unable to pass with one person against it.

Short answer... Make a new rule to drop inactive players, as I have
suggested before. Please read below for a more verbose explanation.

The potential ammendment to 105 that Jon Grimm had posted would not solve
our current problem. It would not deal with players that mysteriously
disappear without a trace. If players have a long absence, say two weeks,
while announcing their absence will solve voting issues, the game will
still grind to a halt when it is their turn, or if someone invokes
judgement while they are the judge, or for any number of issues that may
come up due to future rule changes.

Instead of going through and ammending every single rule that requires a
player response to ignore absent players, I would rather enact a new rule
that removes inactive or absent players. That way every contigency is
handled. I would make a new rule that defines how new players are added. I
would also add a clause somewhere that says if a player is dropped, and
then later added, they have the same status as when they left the game.

I strongly feel that playing around with immutable rules for this purpose
is dangerous, since it then opens them up for further modification. I don't
see how making 105 immutable is required for solving this problem. If you
can show me that we have a problem that can only be solved by transmuting
105, then I'll consider it.

A second problem with the proposed ammendment is that it mentions a
mailing list. Instead of mentioning a mailing list in the proposal, I would
much rather see it require new players to communicate their desire to play
to all the rest of the players. Then I'd create just one rule that would
define how to communicate to all players by mentioning the mailing list. If
the mailing list ever needs to change, it would be a real pain to have to
ammend a dozen rules that mention it.

That seems reasonable. Maybe a bit misleading in its terminology (I'd 
be more comfortable with "active players" and "absent players" than 
"players" and "non-players"), but a good plan.

Well, the desperately immediate problem with this Nomic is that - 
under Rule 105 - all players are required to cast a Vote before a 
Turn can proceed; if a single player wanders away, the Nomic dies.

I guess we can get around this with a new Rule that says "If a 
Proposal's been up for more than 48 hours, anyone who's not voted on 
it automatically votes FOR. This is considered 'participation' for 
the purposes of Rule 105.", or something, though, leaving 105's 
mutability untouched. Fair enough.

But then 105 would still have to be modified, since "absent player"
presumably is a subclass of "player".

I see nothing in the ruleset that restrict votes to "for" or
"against"; in particular, no reason the "default" vote in Kevan's
proposed rule couldn't be "abstain".

But whether the default is "for", "against", or "abstain", it seems to
me Kevan's proposed rule amounts to defining 48 hours of
non-participation as participation, thereby rendering Rule 105 more or
less meaningless. If that's the only fix that'll get support, I'll go
along. But fundamentally I regard 105 as a bad rule in an email
Nomic, and the best way to deal with it is to transmute it and fix it.

By the way, I just noticed Rule 203 says

A rule-change is adopted if and only if the vote is unanimous among
the eligible voters.

Does this mean if everyone votes AGAINST a proposal, it passes? ;-)

Well, except that - at least until unanimity expires or gets replaced 
- any Proposal with idle Voters would fail, when they defaulted to 
"abstain" (or "pass" or "maybe" or "I'm too lazy to vote").

Well, it only takes one person to be against a Proposal for it to 
fail, so that seemed the only way that'd get support.

Mm. Actually I don't think there's any reason why we can't propose to 
enact a new Rule which says; "When this Rule enacts, transmute 105. 
Amend it in such-and-such a way. Transmute it back. Then repeal this 
rule." Rather than all that tedious mucking around with separate 
Proposals.

I'd argue that, first, if that's legal it renders nonsensical Rule
103's limitation of one action for a rule-change; second, that it
"arguably consists of two or more rule-changes compounded" under Rule
111, even if disguised as a single rule-change; and third, that Rule
109's "Transmutation... must be stated explicitly in a proposal to
take effect" means that a rule cannot transmute another rule -- only a
transmute proposal can. I'd grant that reasonable people could argue
otherwise, of course.

I also am not fond of Rule 103's limitation of one action for a
rule-change, but it's not at the top of my to-undo list.

Add a rule:

=====

Any person may become a Player at any time by informing the current
Players of their desire to do so, subject to restrictions by other
rules or portions of this rule.

A Player shall lose 10 points and become a Reyalp upon (1) announcing
their desire to do so to the other Players (and optionally stating a
maximum time duration for their Reyalp status) or (2) failing to cast
a vote on a Proposal within 72 hours of its posting. Reyalps are not
Players, but they continue to hold points, which may be increased or
decreased only as consequences of actions they took or failed to take
while they were Players.

(Comment: The foregoing means e.g. that a Player who proposes a Rule
that gets defeated loses 10 points even if he becomes a Reyalp before
the defeat. However, if the rules were to specify e.g. a 10 point
penalty for failing to post the word "green" on St Patrick's Day,
a Player who was a Reyalp for the duration of St Patrick's Day would
not incur the penalty. This parenthesized text is not part of the
proposed Rule.)

Reyalps may become Players again by informing the current Players of
their desire to do so. If they do not do so within the time limit
they announced, or within 21 days if no such announcement was made,
then they cease to be Reyalps and their points are lost.

Under rule 111 I would like to propose an ammendment to your proposal.

For your second case of a player becoming a reyalp, you only handle
cases where a player has not voted. What about cases where its a player's
turn, and they haven't made a proposal for a long time? What about when
judgement is invoked and the player who is the judge doesn't give judgement
for a long time? There are additional conditions that may arise as the
rules are adjusted.

I would recomend that the second case of a player becoming a reyalp
read as such: (2) failing to send a required communication within 72 hours
after such communication can initially occur. (This would initially
include, but is not limited to: making a proposal when it is their turn,
voting on a proposal, making a judgement when somone invokes judgement, if
they are the judge.)

Perhaps the proponent can find a better wording, but you get the
picture. There are a number of situations that can stop this game cold. It
would be nice to handle as many as we can with one swipe... ;-)

An outstanding suggestion. I believe Rule 111 does indeed allow this
sort of amendment process (though it appears to have been intended for
amendment of proposals that are useless or worse, not merely
suboptimal, but I think it can be argued a suboptimal proposal is of
questionable value). If so, I request Prop 303 be considered amended
as stated. That is:

=======

Add a rule:

=====

Any person may become a Player at any time by informing the current
Players of their desire to do so, subject to restrictions by other
rules or portions of this rule.

A Player shall lose 10 points and become a Reyalp upon (1) announcing
their desire to do so to the other Players (and optionally stating a
maximum time duration for their Reyalp status) or (2) failing to send
a required communication within 72 hours after such communication can
initially occur. Reyalps are not Players, but they continue to hold
points, which may be increased or decreased only as consequences of
actions they took or failed to take while they were Players.

(Comment: The foregoing means e.g. that a Player who proposes a Rule
that gets defeated loses 10 points even if he becomes a Reyalp before
the defeat. However, if the rules were to specify e.g. a 10 point
penalty for failing to post the word "green" on St Patrick's Day,
a Player who was a Reyalp for the duration of St Patrick's Day would
not incur the penalty. This parenthesized text is not part of the
proposed Rule.)

Reyalps may become Players again by informing the current Players of
their desire to do so. If they do not do so within the time limit
they announced, or within 21 days if no such announcement was made,
then they cease to be Reyalps and their points are lost.

=====

I'll vote FOR the new amended version of proposal 303.


This is the version (copied directly from Doctroid's message) that I am voting
for:

=======

Add a rule:

=====

Any person may become a Player at any time by informing the current
Players of their desire to do so, subject to restrictions by other
rules or portions of this rule.

A Player shall lose 10 points and become a Reyalp upon (1) announcing

Rule 203 is hereby ammended to read:

A rule-change is NOT adopted if there is more than one (1) vote AGAINST that
proposal. If all eligible voters have voted on a proposal, and it is not
rejected on the basis of the preceding sentence, then and only then will that
proposal be adopted.

(Clarification: Under this rule, a proposal can suffer one 'against' vote
without failing. It will take two or more votes against in order to reject the
rule. Any suggestions on rewording the rule to eliminate [or add] loopholes
will be happily considered. This parenthesized text is not part of the
proposal.)

Hello,
I'm the newest player to N_omic. I'm glad to be in on the first 
floor (e-floor?). Anyway, after reading all of the messages and 
reading the complete ruleset, I would like to open the following 
topic for discussion (in preparation to making a proposal, eh?).

How much should we count on using http://www.egroups.com to run 
N_omic? For example, votes could be tabulated using the "POLL" 
feature. egroup Polls have the following properties:

Visible: Results are visible to all members during polling 
Results are hidden until polling is over 

Anonymity: Voting is anonymous (only a vote count is displayed) 
Voting is enumerated (identity of the voter is displayed 
with each vote) 

Conclude poll: Manually 
On <Date>

Distribution: Send results to the entire group via email 
Send results to the person who created the poll via 
email 


This would make things a log easier, and would allow transition to 
non-turn-based proposals if such were to be proposed ;-).

<b>Possible downsides:</b>
How would ammendments be added to the poll?
What would stop a Player from extending the time of a poll illegally?

The above is meant as a way to practically use the environment to 
shape the Nomic. One turn/person/month is going to drag any PBeM 
down I think.

Oh, and a question::: Am I now a "Player"? May I vote on Prop 304?

Jon,

I don't think the database feature of eGroups can adequately handle the
game state for a N_omic game. It can help with tracking votes, and proposal
summaries (which I'm already doing), but tracking the ruleset and the full
text of proposals and judgements really needs a web site.

I took the liberty of quickly slapping together a replica of the N_omic
web site on my own server. I can mantain this site until you get a chance
to get back up to speed. If you are unable to continue maintenance of your
site, I would be willing to continue maintaining the one I've developed.
The site can be found here:

http://kenny.sir-toby.com/n_omic/

Its current as of today. Let me know if you find any inaccuracies in it.

Well, with your first line it looks like you are declaring your intent to
play. With rule 303, which was enacted Friday the 8th, you are now
officially a player. Not only "may" you vote on prop 304, but according to
rule 105 you *must* vote on prop 304. ;-)

Welcome aboard! You've been added to the player list maintained at:

Kevan and Feyd,

Would you kindly provide your surname so I can properly place you in the
players list? Rule 202 requires that players take turns by alternating in
alphabetical order by surname.

POO..hm, wait, not a POO, but a question:

In looking at 202, what happens if I refuse to give a surname (or do 
not have one)? Would this imply that I am not allowed to take turns 
(i.e. suggest proposals) or vote?

Technically, I think that looking at the definion of my registered 
Name (according to egroups), my surname is "". Is this sufficient?

No no no!

I remind you of the text of Rule 203:

Unanimity is required ONLY in the first two circuits. After that it
reverts to majority. P304 wants to impose near-unanimity forever.

I vote AGAINST.

Quite right. It still requires all eligible voters to vote, as well, 
which we should really be sorting out. I too vote AGAINST.

And I half-wonder if it'd be quicker to start again with a sharper 
Ruleset; this game's proving to be rather sluggish and unexciting, 
thus far, to be honest. Too much basic stuff to sort out, too lengthy 
a business to get it sorted. Hm.

I suppose... I'll place you next to Kevan, since he too has not given us a
surname. I'll rank you two by first names then. Your turn will come after
mine.

Cool, thanks. I guess I didn't see it when you posted it earlier.

I'll still place Feyd in front of Kevan. If anyone has a problem with this
ordering of players, invoke judgement on it.

Create a new rule:

The official mailing list of N_omic is n_omic@egroups.com, available
through this web site:

http://www.egroups.com/group/n_omic

Any game related communication that must go to all players must be sent
through this mailing list. If the official mailing list is unable to
function in this capacity for any reason, players may directly email all
other players as an emergency backup until a new mailing list is available.

perhaps the next person could propose a rule such as:

"Once this rule is enacted, the game shall enter Limbo.

Definition of Limbo:
1. While in Limbo no points shall be awarded.
2. In Limbo, rules may be adopted by a simple majority, and will be adopted
when a majority of voters vote FOR a rule (except where noted below).
3. Any player who voted AGAINST a rule that failed is able to suggest
alterations to the rule that would cause them to vote FOR it. If the player
who proposed the failed rule wishes so, he may propose an altered version if he
believes it will succeed. A rule may only be re-proposed once.
4. Rules enacted in Limbo may NOT alter the way players accumulate points, or
the way players win. [add more stuff here]
5. Any rule proposed in Limbo which violates point 4 (above) or wishes to
ammend this rule (i.e., the entire definition of Limbo) can only be passed by a
unanimous FOR vote.
6. Limbo will be ended by a majority vote [or a unaimous one if that's what we
want].
7. When Limbo ends, this rule shall remove itself from the ruleset. "

This way we could hammer down some basic rules quickly and easily...

Instead of this "limbo", I would much prefer to keep the current 
system and focus on the problem rules in question. 

The only rules inhibiting the game are rules 201 and 202. Both are 
mutable, and can be updated as needed. What you are proposing below 
is a suspension of both 201 and 202, possibly 204, in the same piece 
of legislation. This is clearly illegal within rule 103. We're 
going to have to tough it out for a few days until we get a faster, 
more flexible system in place.

As a side note, what we are doing in game is modifying rules. If we 
suspend the game rules to allow us to modify rules, I don't think we 
have really achieved anything anyway.

You cannot just "suppose" to change (or is this just a technical 
interpretation of) rule 201. However, as Kevan has submitted a 
surname other than "", this point is moot.

Also, to more fully comply with your request, I hereby state that my 
surname is the empty string, denoted by "". Thus my full name 
is "Feyd", 'Feyd', or Feyd.

I love this game <g>

Well basically he was invoking judgement... I don't think he was the official
judge, but I do believe that a majority would have upheld his decision... and
he didn't receive any compensation for judging, so it's all good...

Actually, I wasn't trying to be tedious, I was trying to get people 
to think critically about what they are doing early in the game. And 
to provoke conversation about...well, anything.

Currently we are moving rather slowly because of the ruleset, I 
figure anything to generate interest and conversation is good 
<grin>. Even if it is to correct me ;-).

It is definitely NOT my goal to rulemonger the game to death! 
However, if someone wishes to propose the title "Tedious Rule Monger" 
and assign me a point every time I pose annoying questions, I'll take 
it ROTFL.

Back to the point, if he was invoking judgement (which, by the way, I 
think would rule that under "legislative intent" would be sorted by 
surname then firstname) then he should actually invoke it. To make a 
judgment based on the fact that you believe that the majority "would 
have upheld [your] opinion" is a poor precedent. The idea I am 
pursuing here is to pick small, obvious arguments where the winner is 
obvious, to set clear precedent for future cases.

I guess since I'm the one raising the stink over this I had better 
submit a proposal on my turn to deal with it in the future. Anyone 
have anything they feel needs to be attached?

Hmm... You see, I think that that's a good precedent, as long as anyone can
voice their opposition to a ruling and request that someone invoke (captial-J)
Judgment.

Yikes, everything looks cool about this method except the POLL page, 
which looks absolutely awful. Oh well, that's why I played with it 
rather than Proposed it. Maybe a poll like the above where the 
subject line is "Proposal 307a" would be better...

Any other discussion on why this is a good/bad idea?

I note that the eGroups polling mechanism allows you to change your
vote at any time. That'd be a significant change, and not one I'd
like.

And so would that.

And so would that.

And another change is that you would not be able to make a proposal by
email. I'd like to avoid having to bring up the eGroups site as much
as possible, because I've found it tends to be slow and the user
interface somewhat frustrating -- cutting a proposal and pasting into
an email discussing the proposal, for example, is a pain; on my system
if I tried to do that with this poll it'd look like this:

Would you support a proposal written as follows? I. A Player makes a
Proposal by posting that proposal to this space. Once posted, a proposal
may NOT be ammended. Settings on polls are as follows: Choice 1 "Yes"

(et cetera). Note also that the formatting of your poll question has
gotten munged, not only above but on the eGroups poll page -- your
line breaks have been ignored. Bleacccch.

Sorry for my long winded message here. I've found myself with a little
bit of time to ponder the situation... ;-)

Actually, I was trying to solve the problem without invoking
judgement. I proposed an unofficial sollution to the problem and suggested
that if someone didn't like it, they could invoke judgement to get an
official decision.

Since Feyd has submitted a surname of "", then his placement in the
players list is either last, or first depening on if you think "" comes
before A, or after Z. The only real difference between the two is that if
he is placed first, his second proposal will come after rule 203 has been
ammended to require only a simple majority. If he is placed last, his
second proposal will still require unaminity to pass.

As support for placing Feyd first, the Unix 'sort' command places a
blank line first when sorting a file. As support for placing Feyd last, it
would make it more for fair for him to play with the same conditions as
everyone else. I have simply chosen to place Feyd first. If someone wants
an official decision, they should invoke judgement.

This message, along with my earlier message, are not invoking
judgement. I am simply trying to solve the problem using the simplest
method that could possibly work.

Interesting idea... However with 110 intact, you wouldn't be able to
overrule any immutable rules. Point 2 is in conflict with rule 105.

I'm kinda curious what basic rule changes need to be made in this
fashion... With 303 in place, we've handled the large issue of players
disapearing. If 305 passes, we'll have secured an official mailing list. If
game speed is an issue, we can always ammend rule 303 to allow less time
for communications to occur.

On another note... I would consider transmuting 105 if we first
eliminate the condition in the second paragraph of 202 that implies that
all players are voting on a proposal. Ammending 105 to allow proposals to
pass immediately when they have sufficient FOR votes may help speed things
up.

When 203 is automatically ammended to require only a simple majority,
it will make it easier to pass proposals. While it won't speed up the game,
it will give the illusion of a faster game by allowing rule changes to
happen more often. It should also make it more fun...

In any case, things seem to be speeding up a little bit more now. I'll
try to be a little more aggressive about moving the game along by posting
when proposals pass or fail, who's turn it is, etc... I totally spaced out
this weekend when I didn't realize that 303 actually passed on Friday. Of
course, this isn't my official capacity. I originaly started posting such
messages to help move the game along. It looks like it helps, so I'll keep
on doing it. ;-)

I don't think things need to be speeded up, actually. This Nomic is
moving considerably more slowly than, say, DocNomic... but so what?
An online game of Rock, Paper, Scissors would move even faster,
presumably, but that's because it's a different game -- as are n_omic
and DocNomic. And there are, so I understand, online Nomics that move
more deliberately than this one.

If this game were dragging out because people weren't fulfilling their
responsibilities that'd be one thing. But this one moves slowly by
the nature of its rules, and I think that's fine.

Would it not be preferable to base precedent solely on Rule of Law, 
rather than (mutable) player opinion? Ah, but your point is that 
nothing has been invoked, and if anyone feels it is unfair they can 
invoke RoL via Judgement. 

I do not want to dip this discussion to deeply into "what if" 
scenarios; I would rather stay grounded in the Rules and established 
precedent. Precedent shows that common-sense rulings have helped 
pull the game back from potential deadlock (Judgement #1 was a pretty 
clear step to remove dead-weight). 

I accept the argument you put forth.

Can I still be "Tedious Rule Monger"?

Actually, I think its a great precedent. Think about how many things in
this game have been decided by consent, rather than by invoking judgement...

Rule 106 requires rule changes to be written down. We have decided that
typing out rule changes and emailing them to all players is an acceptable
substitute.

Rule 111 was strected to allow an amendment to be made to a proposal that
wasn't neccessarily destructive of play.

Rule 201 doesn't specify which player starts the game. We decided to start
with the surname that would occur earliest alphabetically.

There are probably others, but you can see my point. This game would be
forever bogged down in Inoking Judgement if we had to get an official
ruling on every single point. By simply making a decision that everyone
will agree with, the game can proceed without any difficulty.

Invoking judgement is always an option if an official decision is desired.
This was used in the case of Judgement 1 where Jon had decided to include a
player and there was a disagreement about that decision. Judgement was
invoked. A decision was made. The game continued, after some time...

No! No! No!

Sorry.... Just wanted to be clear on the point. First of all, the polling
mechanism isn't really suited to our current needs. Secondly, the method of
voting can change at any time via the ruleset. The polls would be unable to
cope with all the changes. Third, its just another thing to tie us to
eGroups that would haunt us if they ever went away, or if they finished
merging with Yahoo and their name, site, and/or url changes.

I see nothing wrong with sending votes to the mailing list. It allows us
great flexibility for working with the voting mechanism. This is important
because I feel impending change coming that way... ;-)

Can the mailing list be set so that new subscribers don't have to be
approved by the owner? Jon, if you get too busy to approve new list
subscriptions, it may hamper those who wish to join the game, or just
spectate.

Mm, actually making the archives publicly readable would stop any 
curious potential players storming off in apathy. I do tend to cancel 
subscriptions and wander off, if a mailing list tells me I need to 
wait for approval before I can even read the archives to see if it's 
an interesting enough list to be worth joining. Tch.

Good points. I yield. Interesting discussion all around.
In retrospect, I think that my initial argument is flawed based on 
rule 116, which states:
"Whatever is not prohibited or regulated by a rule is permitted and 
unregulated, with the sole exception of changing the rules, which is 
permitted only when a rule or set of rules explicitly or implicitly 
permits it."

Order of play is based upon surname, but that rule does not further 
refine what to do in case of ties, in which case any solution is 
probably acceptable under 116.

Oh well, enough meandering.

As soon as the current vote ends (we are missing one player), I 
believe it will be my turn. I am published the following text for 
comment. If anyone sees a problem with it, please say something and 
I'll change it before actually submitting it for vote. 
I don't know if the definitions below should be so tight 
(i.e. "tedious" ;-), or if that is a good thing.

If y'all think this is too ambitions for now, say so and I'll come up 
with something else.

-------------------------------------------------------
Creation of Game State & Administration Officer

Article 1: 
In all rules following this, and in all Articles following this 
Article, the symbol "[[" will be used to start comments and the 
symbol "]]" will be used to end comments. Text with comments has no 
affect on a rule, and is used purely for example and clarification.

Article 2: 
A. The "Game State" is defined as all information necessary and 
pertinent to administration of this game as it exists at that 
moment. A Game State always exists. This information is as follows:
i.	The current Ruleset
ii.	A list of current Players, Reyalps, and their point totals
iii.	The current Player
iv.	All Current Officers
v.	Current and Pending Proposals
vi.	Completed and Pending Judgments 


B. The Game State may be altered by a new rule without explicating 
amending this Article [[Article 2. This is so that if a "Widget" is 
added to the game state it can be added without having to amend 
here.]].

Article 3: 
A. A position named "Honorable Administrator to the Masses" (also 
referred to as the "HAM") is hereby created. The HAM has the 
following duties:
i. Maintain the Game State in a timely fashion. The Game State must 
be updated no less than once a week.


B. In payment for his services, the HAM is awarded 5 + (total number 
of Players / 2) points, rounded down, each Monday at 5:00 PM.

C. The HAM may designate a new HAM by posting to the official list 
that he is passing the title to a new Player, and that player posts a 
reply to the official list stating that he accepts the position of 
HAM.

D. If the HAM resigns or becomes a Reyalp without designating a new 
HAM (or if he designates a new HAM but that person does not accept 
the title before the HAM resigns or becomes a Reyalp), an immediate 
vote will be held to Name a new HAM using the existing voting 
standard. Players may nominate themselves for the Office, and only 
players so Nominated may be voted for.

E. Upon approval of this Proposal, the Honorable Administrator to 
the Masses will become "Jeff Weston". This paragraph will then self-
edit to become a comment surrounded by the comment symbols.

[[Jeff is currently acting like our administrator, we might as well 
make it official and pay him for it.]]

The only thing I am a little wary of is 200 points wins the game so 
the HAM will have a definite advantage... but other than that i think 
it is a good idea.

Oh, and if Jeff Weston will take the job I am more than happy to let 
him. This job I am working so much overtime on will not be completed 
till 1 February or so, so my time is very strapped and I will not be 
able to fullfill any HAM duties... and his pages look pretty cool 
too:)

Interesting proposal. The main technical problem with the proposal is
that it clearly consists of several rule changes compounded. It looks like
you were aware of this yourself since you split it into three articles... I
would suggest that each article is a proposal in and of itself, and as such
I would recommend proposing each article seperately. I will comment on the
articles as if they are seperate proposals.

-- Feyd wrote:
Article 1:
In all rules following this, and in all Articles following this
Article, the symbol "[[" will be used to start comments and the
symbol "]]" will be used to end comments. Text with comments has no
affect on a rule, and is used purely for example and clarification.
-- I respond:

Why limit it to just rules following this one? Seems a little wordy.
Why are you using double square brackets to start and end comments? I might
recommend something along these lines:

Rules can contain comments. Comments start with the '[' character, and end
with the ']' character. Comments have no effect on a rule and are used
purely for example and clarification.

Article 2:
A. The "Game State" is defined as all information necessary and

[SNIP]

B. The Game State may be altered by a new rule without explicating
amending this Article [[Article 2. This is so that if a "Widget" is
added to the game state it can be added without having to amend
here.]].
-- I respond:

Not sure what to think about this one... The rules already imply that
this information is already kept. I feel its dangerous to make the ruleset
part of the gamestate, since whoever maintains the gamestate could be given
some control over the rules. It would be nice to have a method to
officially track current players and their respective stats however. I'm
curious what others think.

2 implies it), and it would be nice to have a general rule describing how
offices in general can be handled. Then more specific rules can be enacted
to create specific offices and the roles involved with them.

The HAM sure gets a lot of points... ;-) I have a small problem with
the time the points get earned. You didn't specify a timezone. Since not
every player lives in the same timezone, you'll need to specify a timezone
with any time you give, so that everyone can know "exactly" what time you
are talking about. I would encourage everyone to use the same timezone
(perhaps GMT?) when placing times into the ruleset to avoid timezone
confusion...

Some interesting ideas you have there. I look forward to seeing how
they work out.

Nope. It is several *NEW* rules combined. Nothing in the proposal 
amends any rules. If you look through the rule set 
there are several example of rules with multiple clauses. The only 
difference is that the clauses below are more disjointed, and longer 
<g>. I don't think that is forbidden by 103, which only denotes how 
rule-CHANGES work, not how NEW rules are composed.

If I haven't convinced you, then I will do that. Uninamity is a 
tough nut to crack, which is why I'm asking for Comments first. ;-)

------------ Feyd responds...
If it affects THIS Article then the text between the [[ and ]] become 
comments and the rule becomes ..."following this Article, the 
symbol "" will be used to end comements." once the rule goes into 
effect. I can tighten it to say, "in all rules following this", but 
then I can't use comments in Articles II. or III.

The reason I used [[ and ]] is that is seems to be a standard in the 
Nomics I have looked at, much like using e, em, eir is.

Oof. Good point. I will remove ruleset from the gamestate. Was the 
rest of the gamestate ok?

---------- I reply ------------------
Future rules creating officers can invoke this Rule in terms of how 
players are elected (i.e. "The Foo-Officer is electes as per Rule 
306."). I didn't want to limit how different officers 
were elected (for example, the "Tedious Rule Monger" Officer might 
automatically pass to the person who last mentions a rule by number. 
If I set rules on how officers are elected, then a new rule would 
have to first ammend 306 before proposing a new officer.

>The HAM sure gets a lot of points... ;-) I have a small problem with
> the time the points get earned. You didn't specify a timezone. 

I will specify a timezone. I purposefully gave too many points in 
order to force discussion and an amendment. It worked LOL. Besides, 
as the author pointed out, "I made the point system boring so it 
would be quickly changed." If someone will suggest an amendment I 
will incorporate it.

Thanks to those who have commented! I plan to leave the comment 
period open until around 5:00 CST tomorrow, and then make a proposal.

Feyd

<TEDIOUS_RULE_MONGERING>

Take a look at the definition of a rule change in rule 103. You said
yourself that your proposed proposal is "several *NEW* rules combined."
>From 103, one possible rule change is the enactment of a mutable rule. I
would argue that this is indeed several rule changes rolled into one.

</TEDIOUS_RULE_MONGERING>

However, having said that, there is nothing in the rules that says this is
*illegal*. Rule 111 only mentions two or more rule changes compounded as a
basis for suggesting amendments or arguing against the proposal before
voting starts. You are more than welcome to make your proposal, and have us
vote on it, as is.

I have an even better argument against making such a compounded new rule.
Once those three totally unrelated things are combined into one rule, it
becomes fairly difficult to split them apart and deal with them seperately.
An example:

Assume your proposal passes as posted. Lets say we really like the
"comments" clause and we want to make it immutable. However, we don't want
the "gamestate" and "HAM" clauses to be immutable as well. In order to
seperate out the "comments" clause, we'd have to make a new rule that
contains *just* the comments clause. We'd also have to ammend the old rule
to remove the comments clause. The order of those two changes is
problematic either way. If we make the new rule first, we have two rules
covering the same topic and conflicting with each other. If we remove the
"comments" clause from the old rule first, we lose an integral part of the
ruleset while waiting for it to be added back. Possibly a third rule change
could be used to smooth the transition, but I'm not certain how. And don't
forget the "transmute" rule change, which is what we wanted to do in the
first place. You have 3, possibly 4 rule changes required for this one
simple change.

I truly believe that rules should focus on just one thing. I feel it will
make things easier in the long run. My voting will reflect that opinion.

I sense the tedious rule mongering aspect coming up again... I do see your
point. To be truly technically correct, I would spell out the comment
characters as such:

A comment starts with a left square bracket and ends with a right square
bracket.

However, one could argue that by surrounding the [ or ] in quotes would
indicate you are referring to the actual character, and not trying to start
a comment. But I digress. Do what you feel is best and we will vote
appropriately.

One quick comment on "Tedious Rule Mongering" -- which I freely admit 
is a term that I coined. I'm not sure that's a bad thing (obviously 
not, or I wouldn't have called myself that even in jest).

Rules are important. In a game of making rules, it because even more 
important that these rules are clear and accurate, and given to only 
a single interpretation by reasonable persons in both letter and 
intent. Just look at the recent US election to see what happens when 
rules are not crystal clear. ;-).

Some TRM here: the phrase "all rules following this" is ambiguous; it
could mean "all rules enacted after this one" or "all rules with a
higher rule number than this one". I *think* the current ruleset
makes these two concepts synonymous, but that could in theory change.

Anyway, as Mr Weston says, it could be more neatly applied to all
rules (if, as someone else pointed out, you spell out the delimiter
characters instead of using them). 

> The HAM sure gets a lot of points... 

It seems to me the point system is another place where the Suber rules
reflect a bias toward in-person play. With the time involved in
setting up and running an online Nomic, and no artificial deadlines
like "we have to finish playing by midnight", even the 200 points for
email play seems to threaten cutting the game short just as it gets
interesting. Personally I think a typical online Nomic is better if
it's open-ended, with no termination condition other than, perhaps,
unanimous consent to shut down. In this game as in so many others but
more so, winning isn't the point; playing is.

Personally, I don't see the point system staying around much longer. 
There are too many ways to change it by amending mutable rules, or 
simply proposing new ones. This includes:
The concept of a RESET, that says if someone wins you just reset 
points, make the last winner then HAM, and keep going.
Making the points needed to win 2**32 or such. etc. etc.

I'm not a big fan of Rule 103's absolute prohibition on combining rule
changes into one proposal. One finds e.g. cases in which similar
language is used in several rules, and if that language ends up
needing to be changed, I see no reason not to allow a proposal to
change it whereever it occurs.

But Jeff's point:

is well taken. The "Potential Proposal" tries to do too many
disparate things.

Hmm, if this were an in-person game, all this "potential proposal"
discussion would be illegal under Suber's ruleset. Presumably it's
legal in email games only because there's no way to enforce such a
provision. The intent seems to be that you don't get a non-binding
vote before deciding whether to ask for a binding (and point-scoring)
vote. Not that I actually have a problem with such discussion -- just
pointing out it appears to be contrary to the intent of Suber's
ruleset, while not actually being illegal.

Hey guys,
I decided that I was being way to ambitions with my previous 
suggestions. This is my first rule, I thought I had better 
simplify. I'll try to be more grandious next time ;-)

---------------------Begin Proposal Text-------------------------
Proposal 306: Comment
The symbol "[[" will be used to start comments and the symbol "]]" 
will be used to end comments. Text within comments has no affect on 
a rule, and is used purely for example and clarification of intent.

In this proposal the comment symbols do NOT denote comments.

Arguing that the misused word "affect" could make the rule unclear,
under rule 111 I suggest ammending the proposal to replace "affect" with
"effect".

Another suggested ammendment... Take the word "proposal" from the
second paragraph and replace it with "rule". If the proposal passes, it
becomes a rule and the second paragraph would make no sense.

I agree to both these ammendments. I do not understand procedure 
under current ruleset.
Amendment: Change "affect" to "effect"
Amendment: Chage "Proposal" in second paragraph to "Rule".

Are these added to the proposal, or is the proposal just changed now 
and vote begins anew?

Obviously Doctroid's vote on the original proposal is void. If there 
is no established procedure, do we wing it until a rule is proposed?

Good questions... For guidance, I'll bring up the pertinent portion of
rule 111:

"The proponent decides the final form in which the proposal is to be voted
on and, unless the Judge has been asked to do so, also decides the time to
end debate and vote."

You decide the final form for the proposal we are to vote on. This can
easily be handled by posting a new proposal 306 that contains the
amendments you accept. You also decide when to end debate and vote. Perhaps
when you post the new proposal, you can also declare the debate has ended.
Since the proposal will show up in a new form, I would argue that the votes
start off with a clean slate and everyone would have to cast a vote for the
amended proposal.

If you still feel there is ambiguity for how to handle this situation,
you can examine the message archive for how the same procedure was used for
proposal 303. If this still doesn't make it clear to you, invoke judgement.
I see no reason for us to "wing it until a rule is proposed."

To help differentiate between Proposal 306 and the amended proposal, 
I am calling this 306a. This will still become rule 306 as one would 
expect, it is just for easy of reference.

I also hereby end all discussion on this rule. The official voting 
period starts now.

--------------------Begin Proposal Text-------------------------
Proposal 306a: Comment
The symbol "[[" will be used to start comments and the symbol "]]" 
will be used to end comments. Text within comments has no effect on 
a rule, and is used purely for example and clarification of intent.

In this rule the comment symbols do NOT denote comments.

I vote FOR Proposal 306 and declare my intention to become a Reyalp. 
Too much traffic when I'm asleep or elsewhere, and too little time to 
keep myself up to the Nomic's rather drawn-out speed, I'm afraid. All 
the best with the rest of it.

With 5 votes for and 0 votes against, proposal 306 passes! Feyd gets 15
points for receiving 100% favorable votes.

Per his request, Kevan is now a Reyalp. He loses 10 points for doing so.
He will remain in that status until January 7th, 2001, since no date was
specified for him leaving Reyalp status.

Play now continues with Jon Grimm. The web site will be updated with the
latest rule change soon.

Greetings fellow n_omicans,

I'm looking to get started. Where are the rules? I can find the initial
state and the current rules on eGroups. Hopefully it's also mirrored
somehwere other than eGroups as that sites has been slower than death
lately.

ready to roll
Joel

Hello Joel,

Welcome to N_omic. I have a web-site with the up to date rules. Take a look:

I'll go ahead and add you to the player roster right now.

Yeah, Kevan asked to become a Reyalp, so your turn came up faster than

Note: I would not vote for this proposal if there were a chance of it 
passing. I like the approach very much, but feel it is just a tad 
to "JON" oriented. If you had suggested "FEYD", then maybe...<g>.

This rule states that:
"If and when rule-changes can be adopted without unanimity, the 
players who vote against winning proposals shall receive 10 points 
each. "


This really favors the last voter(s), as they can see that a rule 
will pass even if they vote NO. Doing so will give them an easy 10 
point. This is ok for tabletop when you can write down your votes 
and then show them all at once. We don't have that available here.

Any suggestions on a rule to fix this problem?

There are alot of rules that favor or assume tabletop play that should be
struck from the rules. I have my next few proposals that will fix these
things and bring it more into a more online version of nomic.

Just out of curiosity, what's everyones experience with nomics? I've been a
semi-active member of Ackanomic for a couple of years and ran and played in
imperial nomics. What about everyone else?

One way that I just thought of would be to build a voting bot for receiving
proposals, alerting the list of proposals and collecting the votes and
tabulating them once the voting period has passed. I'll be hapy to provide
resources for accomplishing this.

We could just as easily use the POLL mechanism, which is already in 
place. you can't put the TEXT of the rule there, but you can set 
then Proposal # to vote on, and can easily tabulate votes...

I suppose that's *one* way to solve the problem... I had thought about
something along those lines, but abandoned that thinking in favor of a much
simpler solution...just repealing rule 204.

Of course, I really don't see anything wrong with 204. I kinda like
the aspect of working the system to get points. ;-) But others may
disagree...

In reality, it looks like the whole point aspect of this game will go
away pretty soon anyways.

We had already discussed the polling mechanism... First of all, all
moderators and whoever created the poll get to see the votes. Gives them an
unfair advantage. Secondly, players can change their votes before voting is
concluded - a change from our current setup. Third, voting may be delayed
while waiting for the poll to close. Fourth, some people have expressed a
dislike for the eGroups polling mechanism.

If it came down to a choice between using eGroups polling and
repealing 204, I would repeal 204.

What problem? That's no problem, it's a feature.

Another way of stating it is that it discourages players from voting
in haste. 

I have no qualms whatsoever about that rule.

We've been through that. There are a number of reasons why the poll
mechanism is lousy for vote-taking, and as far as I'm concerned one of
them is precisely what you're favoring it for: that it doesn't allow
votes to be seen until the voting period is over. I prefer votes to
be public immediately -- I just like having that information
available. 

Not a very persuasive reason, I know, but as I said, there are lots of
other reasons.

With 2 votes for and 3 votes against, proposal 307 fails. Jon Grimm
loses 10 points for it failing, but gets 6 points for receiving 40%
favorable votes. Play now continues with Rich Holmes.

Add a rule:

-- BEGIN --
There are two types of Players, Labelled and Unlabelled.

When it is an Unlabelled Player's turn, it is the job of the Judge to
select one label and stick it to the Unlabelled Player's forehead,
making em a Labelled Player. Each label has a single word on it,
chosen from a list of valid words. The Judge then must inform the
other Players, except the one whose turn it is, what the word is,
using a private channel such as direct email.

A Player of course cannot see eir own label, and can determine its
word only indirectly, e.g. by logical deduction or by getting another
Player to tell em.

When a new Player joins the game, the Judge must inform the new Player
of the labels of all the Labelled Players except the Judge emself,
using a private channel such as direct email. The Judge must also add
one word to the list of valid label words, and announce it to all
Players. The Player whose turn it is must inform the new Player of
the Judge's label, if e has one, using a private channel such as
direct email.

When a Player or Reyalp leaves the game, the Judge must remove one
word from the list of valid label words, and announce it to all
Players. Any Players having that word on their labels are informed of
that fact, and become Unlabelled Players.

Labels may not be removed or altered except as specifically provided
by the rules. The list of valid label words may not be modified
except as specifically provided by the rules.

When this Rule takes effect, the list of valid label words shall be
Rock, Scissors, and Paper. This paragraph will then repeal itself.
-- END --

This rule of course does nothing substantive, in the sense that it
causes Players to be labelled but defines no purpose or consequences
for the labels. That's left to future rules.

From: Jeff Weston <jjweston@p...>

With 5 votes for and 0 votes against, proposal 308 passes! Rich Holmes
gets 17 points for receiving 100% favorable votes.

The valid list of label words is now set to: Rock, Scissors, and Paper.
The last paragraph of rule 308 repeals itself. The rule does not specify
what state the current players are in. My assumption is that all current
players and reyalps are Unlabelled.

Play now continues with Joel Ricker. Joel Ricker is an Unlabelled player.
As the judge, Rich Holmes has the responsibility of placing a label on Joel
Ricker's forehead and informing the rest of us of the label via private email.

The web site has been updated to accomodate this rule change.

I have done so.

For the convenience of future Judges, here's the email addresses of
all present players, in order:

"Feyd " <Nomic1@a...>,Sxejmaso@a...,rsholmes@m...,"Joel Ricker" <joejava@d...>,Jeff Weston <jjweston@p...>

Now that the proposal has passed I can point out a flaw therein: it
doesn't fully deal with how to treat Reyalps. Probably they should be
treated exactly the same way as Players as far as their own label is
concerned -- they keep their label when/if they come back, unless
their label word gets stricken from the list in which case they become
unlabelled, etc. And should Reyalps get notified when a player gets
labelled? Probably better to send them updates when they come back.
I did not send notification of Joel's label to our two Reyalps.

And yes, it should have specified that new players are Unlabelled, as
were all of us until now...

Greetings everyone!

Today I leave on vacation for a couple of weeks. I will still have
spotty internet access and will continue to play the game. I will also
attempt to keep the web-site updated, but that may occur more slowly than
it has been in the last week or so.

For email that must be directly sent to me, please use this
address: jjweston@k...

I will not have access to my other email addresses during the next
couple of weeks.

Hmm, I'd kind of prefer that the recipient have some say in whether
the transaction takes place, given that there almost undoubtedly will
turn out to be some downsides to having lots of Groks, but that can be
fixed later if necessary...

I just mainly wanted to be clear on the fact that you give not take so
someone couldn't say

I take 30 Groks from Doctroid, for example.

Of course, understood -- I wouldn't have voted in favor if that sort
of transaction were permitted!

"I give 30 Groks to Doctroid" with no requirement that I accept isn't
problematic yet, but could be someday...

With 5 votes for and 0 votes against, proposal 309 passes! Joel
receives 19 points for receiving 100% favorable votes.

Per rule 309, everyone is awarded 50 groks. The last paragraph of
rule 309 deletes itself.

Play now continues with Jeff Weston. Jeff Weston is an unlabelled
player. As the judge, Joel Ricker must place a label on Jeff Weston's
forehead and inform everyone else of the label.

The web site has been updated with the latest rule change.

I will make my proposal shortly.

On another note, Rich Holmes, could you please mail me Joel
Ricker's label to this email address? I forget his label and don't have
access to the email you sent earlier.

Sorry for the delay on this message... Been busy over here.

With 4 votes for and 0 votes against, proposal 310
passes. (Feyd's vote wasn't included since he was a reyalp at the
time.) Jeff receives 19 points for receiving 100% favorable votes.

Feyd missed the deadline for voting and became a reyalp, losing 10
points in the process. He has since stated his intention to rejoin the
game.

This completes the second complete circuit of turns. Since rule
203 has not been amended, it is automatically changed to require only a
simple majority to pass proposals, per rule 203. The word "unanimous" is
stricken from the rule and replaced with the phrase, "a simple majority".

The game now continues with the third circuit of turns, starting
with Feyd. Feyd is an unlabelled player. As the judge, Jeff Weston must
place a label on Feyd's forehead and inform everyone else of the label.

The web site has been updated with the latest rule changes. I have
created a new page called the Rule Graveyard where I will store the
original versions of rules we amend, repeal, or otherwise mutilate.

Ammend rule 207 as follows:

Article 1:
For any vote, a player may spent 100 groks for ONE additional vote. 
This vote must be placed at the same time that the player's normal 
vote is cast. The last person to vote on an issue must spent 150 
groks for the extra vote instead of 100.

A player may gain no more than one additional vote in this manner.

All such votes are counted toward point total calculations.

A few suggestions... This should actually be proposal 311, but I
think that's what you meant.

You don't specify *how* to amend rule 207. Does your text replace
the existing text? Are you adding new paragraphs to the rule? It looks
like you are replacing the rule. The big problem here is that you don't
mention the one vote that players have in the first place. Under rule 111,
I propose the following amendments to your proposal:

- Insert this sentence at the front of the first paragraph, "Each player
has one vote."

- The word "spent" in the first paragraph should be "spend".

Thanks for the suggestions.. the amended proposal is below.
We should think about making firmer rules for how proposals are "in 
discussion" versus when they are in "voting".

Right.. I would never try to scam! honest!

========= Text of proposal 311 =============
Amend rule 207 to read as follows:

Article I:
Each player has one vote per proposal. This is also known as the 
player's "normal" or "standard" vote.

Article II:
For each proposal, a player may spent 100 groks for ONE additional 
vote. This vote must be placed at the same time that the player's 
normal vote is cast. The last person to vote on an issue must spent 
150 groks for the extra vote instead of 100 groks.

A player may gain no more than one additional vote in this manner.
All such votes are counted toward point total calculations.
=============== END amendment =========

Welcome to N_omic Andre. I will add you to the player list. You
receive 50 groks for joining the game, per rule 309.

Per rule 308 I must add a new label to the list of valid labels. I
add "pistol". I must also privately email Andre the labels of all labelled
players. As the current player, Feyd must privately email Andre what my
label is.

Welcome back! I've updated your status on the player roster. I
have a web site with a list of all proposals if you want to look at that
instead of the archives. It's located here:

The current Judge is supposed to do that, and the current Player is
supposed to tell you the Judge's label. Not that others can't confirm
what they tell you, but those are the ones who are *required* to tell
you.

The labels are a setup waiting for a punch line. Frankly, I have no
idea what -- if any -- use will be made of the labels! Just seemed
like something that could evolve into an interesting theme.

As of Feyd's proposal, we're in majority mode.

And already the defects in my own rule, which I so kindly pointed out
after it passed ;-) , rear their ugly head...

The rules don't mandate that Reyalps get informed about who has what
label. But I recommend treating a re-entering Reyalp the same as a
newcomer in that regard, e.g. the Judge sends em all the labels except
the Judge's (and the ex-Reyalp's!! Not that Frederick has one yet.),
and the player whose turn it is (is there an easier term than "player
whose turn it is"?) sends em the Judge's label.

Not that I feel the need to justify myself... but I dislike the

Okay...

As the current judge, I feel I have taken all the actions required of my
by the rules regarding Eric. I have not created a new label for having him
rejoin the game. I have sent him a list of the labels of all the players,
but only because he requested it, not because I felt it was required by the
rules. If anyone feels I have not followed the rules in this regard, now is
a good time to invoke judgement.

Jon Grimm and Joel Ricker,

Still waiting for your vote on proposal 311. You have about 20
hours left to cast your vote before you become Reyalps. Now both of you
can't scam 10 points out of the deal... If both of you vote "against" it
fails... ;-)

For determining time left to vote on proposals, I'm using the
eGroups time stamp in the archives. You will become a reyalp if your vote
is received after the 72 hour mark...

With 4 votes for and 2 votes against, proposal 311 passes. Joel
Ricker loses 10 points and becomes a Reyalp for not voting within 72 hours
after the amended proposal was posted. Feyd receives 13 points for
receiving 66.7% favorable votes. Andre Engels and Rich Holmes receive 10
points each for voting against a winning proposal.

Play now continues with Andre Engels. Andre Engels is an
unlabelled player. As the judge, Feyd must place a label on Andre Engels'
forehead and inform everyone else of the label.

Let a Rule be created with the following text:

If a player wins the game, the game does not end. Instead, all players have
their number of points reset to zero, and their number of Groks to 50 plus
20 times the number of times they have won the game.

Up until proposal 310, I've been assuming that players vote for
their own proposals, due to unaminity requirements. Since now only a
simple majority is required, and there is a potential benefit to voting
against your own proposals, I'm no longer assuming that you vote for your
own proposals. You must now state what your vote is on your own proposals.

Sorry, should have given my reasons...
I vote against the proposal because I would prefer to start tabula 
rosa between games, rather than back up a step and keep going. Also, 
a restart should be even, without giving weight to previous winners.


All IMHO, of course.

Kevan has not rejoined the game within the given time frame. He is
dropped from the game. As the current judge, Feyd must remove one label
from the list of valid labels.

With 3 votes for and 2 votes against, proposal 312 passes. Jon
Grimm did not vote within the 72 hour time frame, so he loses 10 points
and becomes a reyalp. Andre Engels gains 13 points for receiving 60%
favorable votes. Feyd and Eric receive 10 points each for voting against a
winning proposal.

Play now continues with Rich Holmes. Rich Holmes is an unlabelled
player. As the judge, Andre Engels must place a label on Rich's forehead
and inform everyone else of the label. However, Andre probably should wait
until Feyd announces which label he has removed from the list of valid
labels.

The web site has been updated with this rule change.

Add a rule:

Each Player or Reyalp occupies a square on an infinite 2-dimensional
grid.

Squares have integer coordinates (x,y).

Players and Reyalps may be moved from one square to another only as
specified by the Rules.

The first Player to reach Row Zero (i.e., any square whose y
coordinate is zero) without crossing it gains 100 points, and must
immediately move all Players and Reyalps to squares (0, 20), (5, 20),
(10, 20), ... ((n-1, 20)*5) (where n is the number of Players and
Reyalps) in any order e chooses.

A new Player entering the game is placed on square ((n-1)*5, j) where
n is the new number of Players and Reyalps and j is the mean value of
the y coordinate of all the other Players and Reyalps, rounded to the
nearest integer.

At the moment this rule is enacted, Feyd is on square (0, 20); Andre
is on square (5, 20); Jon is on square (10, 20); Rich is on square
(15, 20); Joel is on square (20, 20); Eric is on square (25, 20); and
Jeff is on square (30, 20) [[order determined by player number]].
This paragraph will then self-repeal.

Looks like there is a typo in the fourth paragraph:

The phrase "((n-1, 20)*5)" looks like it should read as:

((n-1)*5, 20)

It's okay with me to call the amended proposal 313a. However, please do note
that it's not a proposal (yet). If Rich (or I) ends the discussion and
decides to adopt the amendment, 313a becomes proposal 313. If not, it will
not be voted upon.

[[Sorry, tried to get clever with a macro and it bit me.]]

Add a rule:

Each Player or Reyalp occupies a square on an infinite 2-dimensional
grid.

Squares have integer coordinates (x,y).

Players and Reyalps may be moved from one square to another only as
specified by the Rules.

The first Player to reach Row Zero (i.e., any square whose y
coordinate is zero) without crossing it gains 100 points, and must
immediately move all Players and Reyalps to squares (0, 20), (5, 20),
(10, 20), ... ((n-1)*5, 20) (where n is the number of Players and
Reyalps) in any order e chooses.

A new Player entering the game is placed on square ((n-1)*5, j) where
n is the new number of Players and Reyalps and j is the mean value of
the y coordinate of all the other Players and Reyalps, rounded to the
nearest integer.

At the moment this rule is enacted, Feyd is on square (0, 20); Andre
is on square (5, 20); Jon is on square (10, 20); Rich is on square
(15, 20); Joel is on square (20, 20); Eric is on square (25, 20); and
Jeff is on square (30, 20) [[order determined by player number]].
This paragraph will then self-repeal.

This looks kinda similar to another nomic I read through, but I'm

With 5 votes for and 0 votes against, proposal 313 passes. Rich
Holmes gains 22 points for receiving 100% favorable votes.

Feyd is placed on square (0, 20). Andre is placed on square
(5, 20). Jon is placed on square (10, 20). Rich is placed on square
(15, 20). Joel is placed on square (20, 20). Eric is placed on square
(25, 20). Jeff is placed on square (30, 20). The last paragraph of rule
313 repeals itself.

Play now coninues with Eric Strathmeyer. Eric is an unlabelled
player. As the judge, Rich Holmes must place a label on Eric's forehead
and inform everyone else what it is.

The web site has been updated with the latest rule changes.

Of course I do. Mommy says that sticks and stones may break my 
bones, but worms will never hurt me. Unless enacted into a Rule.

Even if those words are said by wicked, evil, unrightous shell of a 
man who can only make his light shine brighter by putting someone 
elses out!

Because I'm a brave little soldier. Besides, I'm not afraid of worms 
either.

Feyd

Hmmm. How many groks will you pay me to vote for this proposal?

With 1 vote for and 3 votes against, proposal 314 fails. Eric
loses 10 points for it failing. Eric gains 6 points for receiving 25%
favorable votes. Andre did not vote within the time limit, so he loses 10
points and becomes a Reyalp.

Play now continues with myself. I will be making a proposal
shortly.

Amend rule 202 to read in full:

A player's turn consists of three phases.

The first phase is the "Purchase" phase. Players automatically get to
propose one rule change per turn, but additional rule change proposals may
be purchased during this phase for 50 Groks a piece. The player announces
such a purchase by sending a message to the other players indicating how
many additional rule change proposals that they wish to purchase. The
player must have an adequate supply of Groks in their possesion to make
this purchase. Even if the player does not wish to purchase any additional
rule change proposals, the player must still announce this to the other
players.

The second phase is the "Proposal" phase. Players propose as many rule
changes as they have arranged for in phase one. Each proposed rule change
is a seperate entity, each with their own number. The combined proposed
rule changes form one proposal. The individual proposed rule changes do
not have to relate to each other in any way. If only one rule change is
proposed the label of the proposal is "Propsal x" where x is the number of
the proposed rule change, otherwise it is "Proposal x - y" where x is the
lowest number assigned in the set of proposed rule changes, and y is the
highest number.

The third phase is the "Voting" phase. The proposal from phase two is now
voted on. If it is adopted, the proposed rule changes are enacted one at a
time starting with the lowest numbered rule change, and ending with the
highest numbered rule change. If any single rule change is found to be
illegal according to the rules, that rule change, along with all higher
numbered rule changes in that proposal, are discarded and not enacted. The
player loses five points for each rule change discarded in this fashion.
The player is awarded the number of points computed by subtracting 291
from the ordinal number of the highest numbered rule change and
multiplying that result by the fraction of favorable votes the player's
proposal received.

I'm not really sure I like the "multiple Proposal" thing, but since 
everything is voted on one thumbs up/down, it seems fair. And it 
will allow faster building of particular rule directions.

Welcome to N_omic Ross! I have added you to the player list I
maintain at:

http://kenny.sir-toby.com/n_omic

You receive 50 Groks for joining the game, per rule 309. You are
placed on square (35, 20), per rule 313.

As the current judge, I will privately email you a list of the
labels of all the players. As the current player, Feyd will privately
email you what my label is. I also have to add one word to the list of
valid label words. I will make that announcement soon.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to N_omic Henry! You may be looking at an older version of
our ruleset. Rule 303 of the current rules explains how to join. As luck
would have it, you did the right thing anyways. The up to date web site
can be found here:

http://kenny.sir-toby.com/n_omic/

I have added you to the player list maintained at the above

Create a new rule as follows:


Movement:
A player may move along the y axis for a cost of abs[(10 - y1) * (10 -
y2)] grocks. Where:
y1 is the starting Y coordinate and y2 is the ending Y coordinate. 
(y1 - y2) < max (2, total number of players)
(y2 - y1) > min (-2, total number of players)
10 - y1 <> 0
10 - y2 <> 0


Cost:
The grocks paid are given to the current player at the highest Y 
coordinate. If more than one player is at the highest Y coordinate, 
the grocks are evenly split between all such players.

A few questions When can such movement occur? How does a player
announce such movement? What do we do about fractional amounts of Groks
left over when splitting them amongst multiple players?

A couple notes... You don't provide a method to travel UP the Y
axis. That may have been your intent, but I'm not sure. Also, you
misspelled Grok.

On another note, you skipped phase one of your turn. A minor
detail, but rule 201 does state that "parts of turns may not be skipped."

Under rule 111 I would suggest the following amendments to the
proposal: Specify when players may make moves of this sort. Specify how
players announce their movements. Specify how fractional amounts of Groks
are dealt with when splitting them amongst multiple players. If you intend
players to be able to move both directions on the Y axis, make the
appropriate adjustments. You may want to specify that a player must
have sufficient Groks in their possesion to make the move. We don't
want players spending Groks that they don't have... Also, please spell
Grok correctly.

Good point. From my re-read of #315 I don't think that the above 
proposal is valid, since I made it out of order. I'll take phase 1 
now and rewrite 316.


I will not spend any additional Groks on my turn; I will only make a 
single proposal.

But you're the only Player *on* the y axis! Are you the only one
allowed to move?

I wouldn't put it past you, but I think it's more likely you meant
"may move parallel to the y axis".

Implying, then that any move off or onto the 10th row is free? Very
odd... oh, but you ruled that out...

> (y1 - y2) < max (2, total number of players)
> (y2 - y1) > min (-2, total number of players)
> 10 - y1 <> 0
> 10 - y2 <> 0

I'm not sure I understand. Let's see. There now are 6 Players (and 3
Reyalps), and we're all at y1=20. That means

20 - y2 < 6 or y2 > 14
y2 - 20 > -2 or y2 > 18

so the first condition is weaker than the second, and we all can move
to any row above row 18 we can afford. No, I don't think that's what
you meant. Should that second line be 

(y1 - y2) > min (-2, -(total number of players))

? If so, that means

20 - y2 < 6 or y2 > 14
20 - y2 > -6 or y2 < 26

Or in other words, one can move up to 5 squares. Right?

>From row 20 to row 15 costs 50 Groks, from 15 to 10 would be free, but
that's not allowed. (The third and fourth conditions could be more
clearly stated as y1 <> 10, y2 <> 10.) But you could go 15 to 11 for
5 Groks, then 11 to 9 for 1 Grok, 9 to 5 for 5 Groks, and 5 to 0 for
50 Groks. And those Groks go to the other players... and currently we
all have 50 Groks... hmmm. Interesting.

I do think it's a shame movement in the x direction isn't exploited,
but hey, this is Nomic...

Oh, and I think you could replace "max (2, number of players)" with
"number of players". The only time those two quantities differ is
when the number of players is 1 or 0, and in that case I don't think
there's a heckuva lot of point in playing...

Proposal 316: Movement


Amend rule 315 as follows:

I. Change the first sentence to read:
"A player's turn consists of four phases. "

II. Add the following text to the end of the rule:

The fourth phase is the "Movement" phase. A player may move along 
the Y axis for a cost of |(10 - y1) * (10 - y2) * 2 | + 10 groks, 
where the following is true:
i. y1 is the starting Y coordinate and y2 is the ending Y 
coordinate. 
ii. (y1 - y2) < max (2, total number of players)
iii.(y2 - y1) > min (-2, total number of players)
iv. 10 - y1 <> 0
v. 10 - y2 <> 0
vi. The player has the groks in eir possession to pay for the move.

The groks paid are given to the current player at the greatest Y 
coordinate. If more than one player is at the highest Y coordinate, 
the groks are evenly split between all such players (fractions are 
dropped). 

The player announces the move by stating the move from (X1,Y1) to 
(X2,Y2), and the total grok cost. If any of the above conditions are 
false then the player does not move and loses no groks. If all 
conditions hold then the gamestate is updated to show the move and 
the groks subtracted from the player's total and distributed.

[[ 
Note that movement may be made in either direction along the Y axis 
as long as the movement conditions are met.
The function "|x|" denotes the absolute value of X.
Example: A player at (10,5) could move to (10,3) for 80 groks.
Example: A player at (-1,5) could move to (-1,7) for 40 groks.
]]

I see you posted the URL for the "other" site to the NBB. It's
unfortunate that your site says "This is not the 'official' web site"
or whatever. Actually, nothing in the rules mandates any web site so
I think yours is as official as anyone's. It might reduce confusion
to remove that disclaimer.

I posted the link there. Updated.

Do we want to keep everyone's X/Y coordinates in an egroups database 
here, or just keep everything's on Jeff's website?

anyone?

Good point... I put that disclaimer up because the rules don't
specify an "official" site. The site is up purely for reference, not
because the rules mandate it. I'll take it down off of the front page, but
I ought to leave it up on the rules page. If I make a mistake when
adjusting the rule set, the web site is not the authoritative version.

What official page are you talking about? The rules don't specify
one...

That information can be stored anywhere until a proposal specifies
otherwise. I will continue updating my site regardless. If a proposal
comes up requiring that game data be stored in eGroups, I will oppose
it. We'd be in very bad shape if eGroups could no longer support that
functionality at some point.

And, at the risk of repeating myself, I think the left hand side
should have been (y1 - y2).

Doc, I see what you are saying now. Please amend Proposal 316 item 
iii. as follows:

iii.(y2 - y1) < max (2, total number of players)

[[I think this clearer than 
iii.(y1 - y2) > min (-2, -total number of players)
although the effect is the same. Apparently I was thinking of one 
method of doing the math and switched methods mid-stream. The 
intended purpose of item iii is to govern movment away from the y 
axis in the same way that item ii allows movement towards.

...perhaps I should seek the services of a pschiatreist.

Okay, I'll try this again... last one didn't go through, I apologize for a
possible repeat.

Actually, I think one or the other, but not both... either keep it (y2 -
y1) and put in a negative sign in front of total num... or no negative
sign and make it (y1 - y2).

I just saw another problem... Rich Holmes is correct. With iii
written as (y2 - y1) > ... you place no limit on you far someone may move
in the positive Y direction. An example:

Moving from Y = 20 to Y = 100.

y1 = 20
y2 = 100

y1 - y2 = -80 (satisfies condition ii)
y2 - y1 = 80 (satisfies condition iii)

Is this what you intended? As it is now, condition iii is already
covered by condition ii. To limit moving in the positive Y direction, you
could remove condition iii and rewrite condition ii as follows:

| ( y1 - y2 ) | < num_players

On another note, conditions iv and v could be made simpler as
follows:

iv. y1 <> 10
v. y2 <> 10

This has been updated in the amendment. egroups must be lagging post 
order again. Currently this example would cost 1410 groks. That in 
itself might be considered a deterent...

Better mathematical implementation than mine. However, I don't think 
it's worth an amendment to update, as the results are the same. It's 
been a while since I got my degree, and I've never used the math part 
of it <grin>.

Okay, so its not just me... although egroups appears to be just dropping
any attempt at messages I send.

In anycase, I would like to vote YES on this amendment of the proposal.

I just realized this will be a very boring rule. No one can
currently afford any available moves... Right now, the cheapest move would
be the one getting us as close as possible to y=10. With 6 players, the
biggest move we can make is five.

| ( 10 - 20 ) * ( 10 - 15 ) * 2 | + 10 = 110

Smaller hops would just cost more. The real question is... Since
you can't skip parts of your turn, will Rich Holmes win by paradox since
he won't be able to make a move?

I don't think so. It says "a player *may* move" and also "If 
any of the above conditions are false then the player does not move 
and loses no groks" which implies that making a meaningless, invalid 
move will suffice.

So a player doesn't have to move at all, e can simply elect to not move
during eis fourth phase.

Hmm, Feyd slipped that factor of 2 in without my noticing. I noticed
the + 10 but not the * 2. Had I noticed, I'd've voted against...

For that matter, even without the * 2, nobody can afford to move right
now -- and there's no way to get more Groks unless someone gives 'em
to you.

But, hey, this is Nomic, right?

Fair enough... I did see the "may" as well. I was just wondering
out loud if the higher precedence rule 201 would prevent you from skipping
that phase even with the "may" there. But on second looking, you engage in
phase 4 regardless, and may choose to do nothing during that phase. Also,
the ability to make nonsense moves and have them ignored also solves the
problem. I did *not* see that originally...

Ah well. Now if only Feyd would submit a vote, we could move on...

I intentially made the cost greater than the current number of 
groks. I assume that will change over time and I wanted a way for 
people to spend large amounts of currency <g>.

Of course, an easy alternative is to recruit another 5 players...

Well, since Feyd brought it up...
I DO know of a mailing list I could send to about this Nomic, if people
want more players... I don't know how many it would bring in (if, indeed,
any), but I can try.

Well, I for one do not mind bringing in more players. However,
with more players comes longer waits between each individual players'
turns...

With 4 votes for and 2 votes against, proposal 316 passes. Feyd
gains 17 points for receiving 66.7% favorable votes. Eric Strathmeyer and
Jeff Weston gain 10 points each for voting against a winning proposal.

Play now continues with Rich Holmes. The web site has been updated
with the latest rule change.

Welcome back Andre. I have updated your status on the web site. I
have not adjusted whose turn it is. If you think you should go now instead

Proposal 316 passed before you made your vote, so unfortunately I
don't think it counts.

By #303, if Andre was a reyalp when 316 passed then can't vote. If 
he was a reyalp when Feyd ended phase 4 of his turn (phase 4 was 
created by 316, then play would roll TO Rich (#201). Let's take 
these one at a time:

1. Does Andre's vote count?
The amended Proposal #316 was made in message 304 on Date: Mon Jan 
22, 2001 1:50pm. A player has 72 hours to act on a proposal. Andre 
was not a player at that time, he was a reyalp (for failing to vote 
on 315 or 314). All player votes were complete at Date: Tue Jan 23, 
2001 8:00am (message 322). Andre did not post (and thus become a 
player) until message 327 (Date: Tue Jan 23, 2001 11:38am). His vote 
doesn't count.

2. Whose turn is it?
Andre stated his reentry into the game (and thus return to player 
status) in message 327 (Date: Tue Jan 23, 2001 11:38am). Feyd did 
not end phase 4 of is turn until message 329 (Date: Tue Jan 23, 2001 
2:47pm). Thus Andre was a player when Feyd's turn ended. It is 
Andre's turn.

If anyone disagrees with this please raise a point of Order. Note 
that when you raise the point of order you should also state whom you 
think the judge should be, based on whose turn you think it is 
currently.

If a point of order is raise then I will either use the above as a 
basis for judgement if I am judge, or submit it to the judge for 
consideration.

I'm inclined to disagree. As I see it, on your last turn, Feyd, you don't
get a fourth phase because the ruleset we were operating under when the
last vote was cast was that voting was the final phase of a player's
turn. Once all of the votes of the active players were cast (which
happened at Tue, 23 Jan 2001 14:00:58 -0000 (at least, that's when I
received it)), Feyd's turn was over, then the changes were commited to the
ruleset, then play passed to Rich and only then did Andre convey his
interest in becoming a player again.
What the question really is: which happens first, the end of Feyd's turn
or the implementation of the new rule?
In addition, if it is Rich's turn right now, as I believe it is, Andre
would certainly be Judge if someone invoked judgment. I don't see any
clauses having to do with a conflict of interest situation in Judging so
is this a problem?

Very good point. I do not know the answer to this question. Both 
are instantenious events happening simultaniously. This is a good 
candidate for a Point Of Order. Again, since this is addressing 
whose turn it is, who is the judge?

The last judgement we has was a Point of Order made by Jeff Weston, 
also judged by Jeff Weston. Precedent would point to conflict of 
interest not being sufficient reason for a judge not to perform is 
duties. However there is procedure in place to reverse a judgement.

Seems to me what it boils down to is whether Feyd's turn ended at the
end of Phase Three or if there was a legitimate Phase Four to go
through first.

And that depends on when his rule-change took effect.

Rule 107 states:

No rule-change may take effect earlier than the moment of the
completion of the vote that adopted it, even if its wording
explicitly states otherwise. No rule-change may have retroactive
application.

So the *earliest* the rule-change could have taken effect was at the
completion of the vote, which also was the moment Phase Three ended.
If the rule-change and the end of vote were simultaneous than there's
no way to answer the question of whether Feyd gets a Phase Four or
not. If they were not simultaneous, then there's a clear answer. So
in order not to have an unresolvable situation, we have to designate
one event as occurring (infinitesimally) before the other. And since
the rule-change cannot take place any earlier than the completion of
the vote, the only option is to designate it as occurring
(infinitesimally) later. Si Feyd's turn ended with Phase Three and it
became my turn, and *then* Feyd's rule-change took effect.

That's my take, anyway.

On the other hand, if it'd help any, I'd be more than happy to yield
my turn to Andre.

From: "Jeffrey J. Weston" <jjweston@k...>

My take on the whole situation... I direct you to rule 315, that
was in effect immediately before proposoal 316 passed. The third paragraph
reads as such:

The third phase is the "Voting" phase. The proposal from phase two is
now voted on. If it is adopted, the proposed rule changes are enacted
one at a time starting with the lowest numbered rule change, and
ending with the highest numbered rule change. If any single rule
change is found to be illegal according to the rules, that rule
change, along with all higher numbered rule changes in that proposal,
are discarded and not enacted. The player loses five points for each
rule change discarded in this fashion. The player is awarded the
number of points computed by subtracting 291 from the ordinal number
of the highest numbered rule change and multiplying that result by
the fraction of favorable votes the player's proposal received.

There seem to be several mini-phases in phase three. 1) Everyone
votes. 2) If proposal is adopted, the rule changes are enacted one at a
time. 3) Points are distributed.

The key phrase is in mini-phase two: "one at a time". This seems
to imply that events in phase three occur in a certain order and not
simultaneously. I would argue that Feyd did indeed have a phase four to
his turn, and it is now Andre's turn.

As for conflict of interest in judges... I direct you to rule 212
paragraph 4:

Unless a Judge is overruled, one Judge settles all questions arising
from the game until the next turn is begun, including questions as to
his or her own legitimacy and jurisdiction as Judge.

Settling issues of judge legitamacy and jurisdiction sure seems
like a conflict of interest, yet the rules explicitly state that it is
allowed.

Another note... Suppose judgement is invoked? We still don't know
who the current judge would be... Rule 212 provides clear direction. Our
discussion boils down to how does Feyd's turn end. Essentially questioning
the exact events of passing proposal 316. The last paragraph of rule 212
states: "New Judges may, however, settle only those questions on which the
players currently disagree and that affect the completion of the turn in
which Judgment was invoked." Since the argument is about the completion of
Feyd's turn, I would argue it still is Feyd's turn and the judge would be
myself.

I love this game. ;-)

If this is true then phase 3 ends when "points are distributed". 
This would be after the rule goes into effect, so there is an 
implied "4) phase ends" here. Thus there is time between when the 
rule goes into effect and the end of the turn.

Okay, yes, I see what you're saying and I agre with you now that its put
that way.

I for one can concur at this point that it's now Andre's turn and don't
see a need to call for judgment. Since Rich seems okay with that too,
should we just continue then?
