[s-b] Internomic II (rough draft)

[Ed Murphy <emurphy42@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rule 101/0 (Immutable)

    All member nomics must always abide by all the rules then in effect,
in the form in which they are then in effect. Initially, rules 101-114
are immutable, and rules 201-216 are mutable. Subsequently, the number
of a rule does not indicate that rule's mutability.

Rule 102/0 (Immutable)

    A nomic is a game in which the rules are changeable by those who
play it. The entities which play this nomic are themselves nomics, aka
"member nomics". References in this ruleset to "nomics" or "members"
refer to member nomics. References in the ruleset to "rules" refer to
rules of this nomic, unless otherwise noted.

Rule 103/0 (Immutable)

    At any time, there is exactly one moderator, who shall be a player
of at least one member nomic. The moderator cannot resign. If the
moderator is no longer a player in any member nomic, then the member
nomics can select a new moderator by unanimous agreement.

Rule 104/0 (Immutable)

    Initially, the moderator is <name>.

Rule 105/0 (Immutable)

    At any time, every member nomic has exactly one liaison, who shall
be a player of that nomic. A nomic's liaison can only be changed by that
nomic, who shall announce the change.

Rule 106/0 (Immutable)

    A rule change is the enactment, repeal, or amendment of a mutable
rule, or the transmutation of an immutable rule into a mutable rule or
vice versa.

Rule 107/0 (Immutable)

    Every proposal shall be numbered by the moderator. The numbers shall
begin with 301, and each proposal shall receive the next successive integer.

Rule 108/0 (Immutable)

    Every proposal shall be communicated to all voting members before it
is voted on. If adopted, it takes effect in the form in which it was
voted on.

Rule 109/0 (Immutable)

    All proposals shall be voted on. They are adopted if and only if
they receive the required number of votes.

Rule 110/0 (Immutable)

    A proposal containing a transmutation rule change is adopted if and
only if all votes on that proposal are in favor. Transmutation cannot be
implied, but must be stated explicitly.

Rule 111/0 (Immutable)

    In a conflict between an immutable rule and a mutable rule, the
immutable rule takes precedence.

Rule 112/0 (Immutable)

    A member nomic can always withdraw from Internomic.

Rule 113/0 (Immutable)

    It shall never become completely impermissible to change rules.

Rule 114/0 (Immutable)

    Whatever is not forbidden is allowed, except that changing the rules
is only permitted when another rule allows it.

Rule 201/0 (Mutable)

    All members begin with 0 points.

Rule 202/0 (Mutable)

    When a nomic correctly announces that it has at least 100 points, it
wins, its liaison becomes moderator, and all scores are reset to 0.

Rule 203/0 (Mutable)

    A proposal is made by announcing it. All members can make proposals.

Rule 204/0 (Mutable)

    A proposal can contain multiple rule changes, or no rule changes.

Rule 206/0 (Mutable)

    Each member has one vote per proposal.

Rule 207/0 (Mutable)

    The voting period of a proposal begins when the moderator announces
its number, and ends two weeks later. Members can vote either for or
against a proposal by sending their vote to the moderator during its
voting period.

Rule 208/0 (Mutable)

    During the voting period of a proposal, the moderator shall not
reveal any votes cast on it. After the end of the voting period of a
proposal, the moderator shall reveal all votes cast on it.

Rule 209/0 (Mutable)

    A proposal passes if and only if at least one member votes for it
and no member votes against it.

Rule 211/0 (Mutable)

    In a conflict between two immutable rules, or between two mutable
rules, the rule with the lower number takes precedence.

Rule 212/0 (Mutable)

    Any nomic can invoke judgment by announcing a statement. The
moderator shall select a different member to judge it, then announce the
statement and the identity of the judge.

Rule 213/0 (Mutable)

    A judge shall announce judgment, either "true" or "false".

Rule 214/0 (Mutable)

    No entity can be liaison to more than one member nomic.

Rule 215/0 (Mutable)

    Initially, the members of this Nomic are Agora Nomic and B Nomic.

Rule 216/0 (Mutable)

    To announce something is to send a message containing it to this
nomic's forum. Initially, this nomic's forum is <mailing list>.
