[s-b] THE MOST NOBLE AND RESPECTABLE RULESET OF THE NOMIC FORMERLY KNOWN AS B:

[Rainbow Wolfe <rainbowdreamwolf@xxxxxxxxx>]

#25 should exist twice since #27 did not exist at the time it was created
again, and we did have two players identified as 0x44.
(I have updated the rules to include this and have renumbered all other
rules after this point by 1).


"Also, all 0x44s support preventing "Two People are Two People" having
been created." I find this statement false since I also supported it before
it was voted against, it is however currently INVALID and only needs one
more vote either way to turn it back on or delete.


Can anyone clarify what is being submitted to the Redactor: everything /
Rules / or Rule Changes?
I have updated the rules below using Turiksi last posted set and updated
from the thread and Arkady. I have left the amendment in the Redactor
because they were all thought to be submitted to the Redactor and this IS a
rule change, unfortunately based on current games convention the loophole
being fixed leaves the previously created rules with the starting phrase: "I
create a new rule with the following {{{ }}}-delimited text:" because this
change was submitted after these rules, and the amendment being placed in
the Redactor causes the last one to be similarly created although it would
have made no difference otherwise. The alternative is to retroactively
change the rulesset which is hard enough to track at the moment anyway.

I create the following "{{{" "}}}" delimited rules: (I think I do anyway,
rather than submit to the Redactor as they do not amend current rule text).

{{{
Title: Preventing Conflict
If two or more rules defer to each other, then the rule with the highest
value shall take take priority over the one with the lower value. If any
rules in conflict have the same value, then the rule with the lowest
identifying number takes precedence.
}}}

{{{
Title: No Dramatic Changes Please!
Players may not vote (or rate) rules that have been created prior to the
week of declaring their intention to join the game, except by public
invitation of at least half the known players.
}}}

This is not the best wording but is meant to stop a number of players
joining and reversing most of the rules before we can react.

{{{
Title: 3 is the Key
Players may not submit more than a total of 3 rules, or rule changes, in a
consecutive manner. Other game actions must also follow this rule except
where they are governed by another similar rule.
}}}

I support: #30, #32, and all changes currently stuck in the now ON Redactor,
although the Redactor was OFF when Turiski proposed eir change it WAS sent
to the Redactor.
I do not support: #31 (mainly because any rules sharing any text, for
example the words "the" or "and" will cause the deletion of most of the
ruleset, although I do appreciate what you were trying to fix),
I submit the following rules as I have interpreted them for public approval.
I delete the following rules due to have a value of less than 0: #27

I submit to the Redactor the following CREAMPUFF delimited text:
CREAMPUFF
Remove the text "I create a new rule with the following {{{ }}}-delimited
text:" from rules 31,32 and 33

Delete rules: 22,23 and 24 and resubmit them to the Redactor with their
current support as follows:

Amend rule 15:
Remove the text "A rule having a value of less than 1 is invalid. Invalid
rules may be deleted." and replace it with the text
"A rule having a value of less than 1 is invalid and may be ignored.
A rule having the value of less than 0 is deleted when the ruleset is next
refreshed."
[[Value = 3
Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Turiski +1 / Arkady +1]]

Amend rule 13 to:
Every message containing the string "}}}" that needs to be submitted to
the Redactor, automatically submits that message to the Redactor.
[[Value = 2
Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady +1]]
Amend rule 18 to:
This rule takes priority over all other rules except where rules specify
otherwise.
Game actions take effect in the order in which they are sent to the game,
Rules with the lowest identifying number have priority over those that
follow.
If a rule has a change number then the oldest existing version of that rule
invalidates any other version, except where a rule change has a higher value
in which case that invalidates any other version.
[[Value = 2
Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady +1]]
CREAMPUFF

THE MOST NOBLE AND RESPECTABLE RULESET OF THE NOMIC FORMERLY KNOWN AS B:

[[Value = 4

required to follow them.
[[Value = 3

not been Exiled from the game. Other than the player generally known as

judgment of the player being punished, worse than Exile.

Wooble +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady +1]]

sent to the redactor.
[[Value = 2
Turiski +1 / Arkady +1]]

19. Comment Text

on the game although it can be read and may aid in the interpretation of the
rule it refers to.
[[Value = 3
Turiski +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady +1]]

20. Goal
The purpose of the game may be submitted as a game action and needs the
support of 1/2 the known players to become valid. There can only be one goal
at any one time and add the player(s) who achieve this goal each get 1
kudos.
The current goal of the game is: [[undefined]]
[[Value = 2

entity controlled by a player, to publicly announce the current ruleset at
least once per month. Any time a player causes any rule to be added,
removed, or altered in a message, the player must post the updated ruleset
with the appropriate changes, including any changes which the ruleset tracks
which have occurred since the last posting of the ruleset.
[[Value = 2
Turiski +1, Rainbow Wolfe +1]]
