Re: [spoon-discuss] Thoughts toward a universal Nomic calendar

[Daniel Lepage <dpl33@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I may interrupt your dialog for a moment...

There was a reason why Dave chose the ten-day week for B Nomic, and it 
was precisely to avoid the sort of regularity you seem to be aiming 
for. The idea was that different times of week are better for different 
people to vote - some people might have many weekend commitments, so to 
be fair, the vote should fall at different times every nweek.

I personally don't like the idea of a 14-day nweek; I'd much prefer 
seven if you want it to match "real time", but frankly, I like the ten. 
Or at least, I liked the ten, back when nweeks were fairly reliably 10 
days... we just need to redesign things so that we don't need to stop 
game time every three days.

As for discordianism... I prefer to avoid mainstream chaos. This is B 
Nomic, where chaos radiates outward from us like Flies from a Rotting 
Whale Corpse that's just been Blown Up Rather Nastily. We certainly 
don't need to bring the chaos of others into this mess.
