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

[Paul VanKoughnett <allispaul@xxxxxxxxx>]

I change my name to Paaaal.

I favor rules 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 29, 30,
32, 33, 34, and 36.

I disfavor rules 7, 12, 13, 26, 28, 31, 35.

For 7 and 13, I think clarity is more important than abbreviation.
 Especially when the abbreviation is recursive.  I like 25 and 26, but we
really only need one of them.

As rule 12 is now invalid, players are capable of altering the text of
rules.  I perform actions 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 in the Redactor Queue.  I change
the text of rule 0 to "It's reasonable to interpret that unregulated actions
are possible."  I change the text of rule 32 to "A rule has value equal to
(number of players favouring the rule - number of players disfavouring
that rule).
Any other method of changing a rule's value is forbidden." and its title to
"The Value Behind The Obvious".  I change the word "CREAMPUFF" to
"DREAMPUFF" wherever it appears in all caps in the ruleset.

I create a rule with the following {{{ }}}-delimited text:
{{{ Any player may clear the Redactor Queue. }}}

I clear the Redactor Queue.

I delete rule 37.

I favor rule 12.

I yell DREAMPUFF eight times, then grow hoarse.

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

0. The Unwritten Rule
It's reasonable to interpret that unregulated actions are possible.
[[Value = 5
Ed Murphy +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Turiski +1 / Arkady +1 / Paaaal +1]]

1. Players have the right to create, discuss and agree on rules and rules
changes.
[[Value = 3
Rainbow Wolfe +1 / MP Darke -1 - technically "I disagree with the addition
of a rule to formalise the addition, removal and changing of rules." /
Turiski +1 / Arkady +1 / Paaaal +1]]

2. New rules are added to The Rules and have to be followed by whomever is
required to follow them.
[[Value = 4
Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Turiski +1 / Arkady +1 / Paaaal +1]]

4. A player is a person who is aware of the existence of the game who has
not been Exiled from the game. Other than the player generally known as
Wooble, all players are required to follow the rules. The rules cannot
impose a punishment for failing to follow the rules which is, in the
judgment of the player being punished, worse than Exile.
[[Value = 4
Wooble +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady +1 / Paaaal +1]]

5. Mars Needs Creampuffs
Players shall yell DREAMPUFF at least once a month.
[[Value = 4
Ed Murphy +1 / Turiski -1 / Arkady +1 / Paaaal +1]]

6. Bake Me a Loophole
The player generally known as Wooble is required to follow the rules, except
for the one titled "Mars Needs Creampuffs".
[[value = 3
Ed Murphy +1 / Turiski +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady -1 / Paaaal +1]]

7. Because Typing Takes Forever
The phrase "{{{" is intended to mean "I create a new rule with the following
{{{ }}}-delimited text: {{{"
[[Value = 0 (INVALID)
Turiski +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady -1 / Paaaal -1]]

8. A player who creates a rule automatically favors it.
[[Value = 4
Turiski +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady +1 / Paaaal +1]]

9. Gnrlizd Sillinss
The phrase "DREAMPUFF" is an acceptable substitute for "{{{". No rule shall
make any phrase an acceptable substitute for "}}}," unless that rule does
not contain either of the letters 'e' or 'E'.
[[Value = 4
Turiski +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady +1 / Paaaal +1]]

10. Talk is Cheap
All game actions require a message to the spoon-business@xxxxxxxxx mailing
list.
[[Value = 5
Ed Murphy +1 / Turiski +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady +1 / Paaaal +1]]

12. The Redactor is a game-defined object.  The Redactor can alter the text
of rules.  Players cannot alter the text of rules.
Whenever a player submits an order to the Redactor as a Game Action and two
other players express support for that order as Game Actions, the Redactor
carries out that order.
[[Value = 2
Codae +1 / Turiski -1 / Rainbow Wolfe 0 / Arkady +1 / Paaaal +1]]

13. Every message containing the string "}}}" that needs to be submitted to
the Redactor, automatically submits that message to the Redactor.
[[Value = 0 (INVALID)
Turiski +1 / Rainbow Wolfe -1 / Arkady +1 / Paaaal -1]]

14. For reference, rules should be numbered sequentially starting with 1 and
adding +1 to each consecutive rule.
[[Value = 2
Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Turiski +1 / Arkady -1 / Paaaal +1]]

17. Any action taken by a player that has a tangible effect on the game is
forbidden unless permitted by the rules.
[[Value = 2
Paul V +1 / Arkady +1]]

18. Put the Past Behind Us
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 = 3
Turiski +1 / Arkady +1 / Paaaal +1]]

19. Comment Text
Any [[ ]]-delimited text is comment text. Comment text has no direct effect
on the game although it can be read and may aid in the interpretation of the
rule it refers to.
[[Value = 4
Turiski +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady +1 / Paaaal +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 = 3
Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady +1 / Paaaal +1]]

21. Rule changes should be numbered sequentially, starting with 1 and adding
+1 to each consecutive change, after a period following the identifying rule
number.
[[Value = 3
Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady +1 / Paaaal +1]]

25. This rule may neither be created nor destroyed.
[[Value = 2
0x44 +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady -1 / Paaaal +1]]

26. This rule may neither be created nor destroyed.
[[Value = 0 (INVALID)
0x44 +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Arkady -1 / Paaaal -1]]

29. Two People are Two People
No player shall adapt a name which is the name of an object currently
tracked by the game. This sentence, and the remainder of this rule, may be
deleted at any time, but is effective until that time: The player who sends
messages from ais523@xxxxxxxxxx adapts the name ais523, and may not be
referred to by 0x44. The player who sends messages from
bnomic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx adapts the name 0x44.
[[Value = 1
Turiski +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / 0x44 -1 / ais523 -1 / Paaaal +1]]

30. Do Your Civic Duty
This rule is ineffective if any rule provides for some particular player, or
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 = 3
Turiski +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Paaaal +1]]

32. The Value Behind The Obvious
A rule has value equal to (number of players favouring the rule - number of
players disfavouring that rule). Any other method of changing a rule's value
is forbidden.
[[Value = 3
Arkady +1 / Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Paaaal +1]]

33.
This string: "LOLLIPOP" is symbolic of this string: "}}}"
[[Value = 2
Arkady +1 / Paaaal +1]]

34. 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.
[[Value = 2
Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Paaaal +1]]

35. 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.
[[Value = 0 (INVALID)
Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Paaaal -1]]

36. 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.
[[Value = 2
Rainbow Wolfe +1 / Paaaal +1]]
