[Story Weaver]

This is a sub-game from Nomic 16.0.

Here are the rules:

• §1 This game is called Nomy, and is a game of Nomic.

• §5 Double Posting is forbidden.
• §6 The winner shall be the first person to get 3 motions accepted. The winner of Nomy shall get 10 points, and everyone who participates 3 points

The points referred to are in the parent Nomic game.

[careyhammer]

Motion accepted!

[careyhammer]

oops, I just broke rule §5

[careyhammer]

oops I did it again

[orangedragonfire]

Motion refused.

I make a motion to change the text of rule §2 to the following:

§2 Players are referred to as ninjas. Ninjas may make one motion to change the rules per post. If someone breaks too many rules or annoys people, they become pirates instead. All posts of pirates are ignored.

[careyhammer]

Motion refused

[careyhammer]

I make a motion to refuse this motion

[Story Weaver]

Motion refused.

I make a motion that in order to reject a motion a ninja must provide a sound reason as to why they are rejecting it, which cannot be "to stop the motion-maker winning". If the reason given is not judged sound by the next ninja (who cannot be the motion maker), they can say so with "Not sound". At that point, the rejecter is considered to have broken the rules.

I make a motion introduce a three strikes rule - if you break the rules three times, you are banned from the game and all of your posts are to be ignored by other players.

[careyhammer]

Motion refused. I enjoy breaking the rules.

Motion rejected. I think that rule is just way too complicated.

I make a motion to amend rule 6 to read: The winner shall be the first person to get 300 motions accepted. The winner of Nomy shall get 2 points, and everyone who participates 1 points.

[vp1]

Motion rejected because: 1. Ninjas get things done correctly the first time and don't need to amend anything; 2. Ninjas don't like when people break the rules (See rule 7 ).

I put forth a motion that no motion may contain any occasions of symbol that follows 'd' (Ninjas loath fifth pictographs).

[Story Weaver]

Motion rejected.

Sorry, I originally accepted it, but then I couldn't find a single motion I could write without the letter e!

Carey, could you please stop trying to make the game less enjoyable for others. There is no purpose in playing a game, except where the players agree to abide by the rules. Mistakes are one thing, but constant rule breaking is not.

I make a motion that "players in Nomy must be referred to as Ninjas". Because everyone seems to really like that rule.

§9 All players in Nomy must be referred to as ninjas

Ninjas should have weapons or skills...
I make a motion that each ninja must have at least one weapons and/or skill. However, weapons/skills can only be received from another ninja as a gift (a ninja may not procure their own weapon/skill). The weapon must have some special power that will give the recipient an advantage in this game. Gifting a weapon/skill can be done in addition to a motion.

[Story Weaver]

I've won this game, by the way. Three of my motions were passed. You can, of course, keep playing. I will go get my points in the main Nomic thread.

[vp1]

Doh!

[aleph-null]

(Anyone want to keep going with this one? I'm new to this so a small ruleset to start with is much more enticing than the big established one in the other thread)

Motion rejected. Seems too complex to me and there should be limitations on what the gift could do, could be used to spoil the game.

I move to discount the previous winner (they keep their claim to any previously won points) and continue with the currently established rules.

(which means, Story Weaver, that according to the rules in this game you are not the winner)

I make a motion to call people in this Nomy who distinguish themselves positively Samurais.

I make a motion to keep track of the score. After a motion passes, you have to post a table of current number of motions passed for every player.

If the Double Motion gets accepted in both games, the rewards for acceptance shall be tripled.

Motion denied. I don't play the other one. The rules seem a bit too complicated for me to just jump in at this point and I don't want to lose points in this game.

I move that at no time shall there be more than 35 rules in effect. If a motion is passed that would introduce a 36th rule, it shall be considered denied until such a time that a previous rule has been rejected. Once a rule has been removed, the previously accepted motion shall be added to the rules in it's place.

§7 The third motion in this game of Nomy involve ninjas.
§8 In order to reject a motion a ninja must provide a sound reason as to why they are rejecting it, which cannot be "to stop the motion-maker winning". If the reason given is not judged sound by the next ninja (who cannot be the motion maker), they can say so with "Not sound". At that point, the rejecter is considered to have broken the rules.
§9 All players in Nomy must be referred to as ninjas
§10 Ninjas who distinguish themselves positively within Nomy shall be referred to as Samurai
§11 A post which passes a motion must include a correct table of scores (the score must include the motion that was just passed)
§12 The score of a player is reduced by one point for each infraction of the rules they make.
§13 Refusals declared "not sound" are to be re-decided by the poster following the declaration of "not sound" who cannot be the original motion maker, original refuser, or the ninja who declared the reasoning "not sound".
§14 a Ninja shall not submit motions which promote the motion maker to Samurai status.
§15 On promotion to Samurai status, the ninja being promoted gains 5 bonus points as a reward. This reward shall be given 24 hours after the motion which grants the promotion is passed, provided that no motions overturn the award of Samurai status in that time.
§16 At no time shall there be more than 35 rules in effect. Motions passed once the motion limit has been reached will be considered denied until a pre-existing rule has been removed, at which point the 'denied' motion will come into effect.

I move that if a motion is rejected, and that rejection is deemed sound, the initial motion maker's score is reduced by one point

[Kyreles]

Denied. I would accept if the wording were a bit more clear. The way it goes it: I propose <motion>. You reject for <reason>. I think <reason> is stupid, so I post after you saying so. You lose one point? Deemed sound by who?

I move that the title of Arbiter be created. If the Arbiter should determine that a rejection is not supported by a sound reason, the rejection shall be revoked and opened to a further vote. The act of determining that a refusal of a motion is not supported by a sound reason does not count as making a motion for the purposes of §2. This motion can be refered to as "The Arbiter can reject unsound rejections" in the official rules list if passed.

I don't know how the title of Arbiter should be granted. I'll let someone else figure that part out...

[edit]Well I misread and got the hypothetical a little wrong. The problem is still there of who determines the soundness of a rejection. Instead it goes I propose <motion>. You reject for <reason>. RandomOtherPerson agrees with you. I lose a point? Still not good. Are we trying to prevent people from proposing stupid motions?[/edit]

Denied. Those take away too much of the fun of a nomic, like in your main thread [EDIT: I realise you don't personally play the main game, but I'm speaking to the room] (Hi, I'm Skellious, I used to play Nomic here a few years back)

I corrected the rules in line with rule nine (which was itself self-correcting and now reads "all Ninjas in Nomy must be referred to as Ninjas." - i consider all Ninjas to have referred to all mentions of the former word, including in the rules, consider it like a set or class (class Nomy contains: rules, scores, posts.))

I make a motion to remove the current rule §7 because it is factually inaccurate and this upsets me; In addition, rules will then be renumbered so that §8 becomes §7, §9 rule §8 and so on until rules are numbered §1 to §15 with no whole-number gaps in the numbering.

[Kyreles]

I will not accept or reject, just want to point out that in a strict reading of the rule it is absolutely factually true. The third motion on the game did contain a ninjas. Is was proposed by orangedragonfire and rejected.

[skellious]

Point taken, in which case, I shall bring a revised motion:

I make a motion to remove the current rule §7 because it is grammatically inaccurate and this upsets me; In addition, rules will then be renumbered so that §8 becomes §7, §9 rule §8 and so on until rules are numbered §1 to §15 with no whole-number gaps in the numbering.

"The third motion in this game of Nomy involve ninjas" - missing an s or a d or the word "that" at the beginning.


It also takes up valuable space now we are limited on number of motions.
