This is a game of Nomic, these are the rules, you will be 10 players (plus myself) making new rules to try to win more rapidly, or keep other players from winning. All I want is 10 names, after which these same rules will start off a new thread in Adventure Square. Feel free to ask questions to get the thing vlearly, caus' I might not be as useful once the game start.

Brittish Obers will be happy to know that a (theorically) famous Nomic game is [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent_%28game%29]Motrnington Crescent[url].

Cyriel

Is there a certain format for the wording of proposals?

EDIT: Sorry, I guess I didn't really make my intentions known. I've never played, but I'm willing to try. :catgirl:

None by itself, except a minimal clarity.

[Dagger]

This sounds interesting. I'm not familiar with the original game, but I'd like to participate.

How will the voting be run? In-thread voting, or by sending private messages to the dictator? If it is in-thread, what will be done to avoid racking up a series of one or two-word "Yes" or "No" posts?

[Guest Sean]

[SIZE=1]I'm with Dagger on this, I have never heard of 'Nomic' in the first place. But I would enjoy to take part.

A new question here, exactly, how do we participate in this game?

Well, I consider you and dagger to be players so far, since I am not too sure about Cyriel. I plan to PM the players when I launch the game.

I was hoping in-thread voting. At worse, I'll add that to the ruling when I'll start the game. I wouldn't worry too much about one-word posts: I'd expect us to quickly spend enough time haggling about the rules to not have problems putting the votes in. At worse, I'll rules out one word post with point loses. Since you'll be voting on up to 10 proposals each week, you should be able to write nice posts discussing why you like or don't like a proposal.

I think I'll add the precision that the game is still superceded to the forum's rules, though.

[color=Navy]I've never heard of it, but it sounds intriguing, so I'm willing to take a shot.
