Re: [s-d] [s-b] Consultation |
I declare a game called "FlipperNomic" with the following ruleset: {{ A person may become a Player by declaring their intent to do so. To play this game, a Player flips a coin which has a "heads" side and a "tails" side. If the coin lands "heads", the Player wins. If the coin lands "tails", the Player loses. The Player then ceases to be a Player. There is no Rule 3-13. If all Players agree upon a change to the ruleset, the ruleset is so changed. }} I declare my intent to become a Player of FlipperNomic. I agree upon the following addition to the ruleset: {{ The Admin of FlipperNomic is Codae. The Admin is required to maintain a (insofar as is possible) current ruleset in the spoon-discuss Archive. }} The current ruleset: {{ A person may become a Player by declaring their intent to do so. To play this game, a Player flips a coin which has a "heads" side and a "tails" side. If the coin lands "heads", the Player wins. If the coin lands "tails", the Player loses.

Starting the game of B Nomic was an action performed before the rules of B nomic existed, so the rules cannot enforce this. I declare a game called "Flipper" with the following ruleset: {{ A person may become a Player by declaring their intent to do so. To play this game, a Player flips a coin which has a "heads" side and a "tails" side. If the coin lands "heads", the Player wins. If the coin lands "tails", the Player loses. The Player then ceases to be a Player. There is no Rule 3-13. }} I declare myself to be a Player of Flipper. I flip my coin. It lands tails. I lose.
