I make a motion to add the following rule: It is forbidden to make any motion that, when accepted, would prevent further changes to the ruleset.

Approved.

Rules:

Spoiler:

§1 This game is called Nomy, and is a game of Nomic.
§2 Ninjas may make one motion to change the rules per post.
§3 Motions are decided by the next player who posts. They can either be accepted or refused.
§4 If a motion is accepted, the rules have to be updated in that post.
§5 Double Posting is forbidden.
§6 The winner shall be the first person to get 30 motions accepted. The winner of Nomy shall get 10 points, and everyone who participates 3 points.
§7 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.
§8 All Ninjas in Nomy must be referred to as ninjas
§9 Ninjas who distinguish themselves positively within Nomy shall be referred to as Samurai
§10 A post which passes a motion must include a correct table of scores (the score must include the motion that was just passed)
§11 The score of a player is reduced by one point for each infraction of the rules they make.
§12 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".
§13 a Ninja shall not submit motions which promote the motion maker to Samurai status.
§14 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.
§15 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.
§16 It is forbidden to make any motion that, when accepted, would prevent further changes to the ruleset.

I move that a raffle be introduced into the game. The rules shall work as follows: Any ninja with a positive number of points my purchase a raffle ticket for one (1) point by stating that they wish to do so in a post. I will keep track of who has purchased how many tickets. Every Wednesday and Saturday (starting next Wednesday) I will generate a random number, based on the number of tickets sold, and whoever has the corresponding ticket number shall win an amount of points equal to the number of tickets sold (n)-1. I shall receive one point for holding the raffle. Ninjas may purchase a maximum of two (2) tickets. Samauri may purchase any number of tickets. The ninja who generates the random number may not participate in the raffle by buying a ticket. This motion may be listed as "Ninjas can purchase 1 point raffle tickets by posting" in the rules, or by any other description that will summarize the motion.

Lets start a powerball/lottery thing going here. We buy tickets for points and I'll grab a random number from random.org to determine the winner.

Motion denied; as we have no way to check whether people actually tell us facts. Thus we wouldn't know when people are breaking that rule.

Motion rejected. 3 pages can be very different whether you have 10 posts per page, or just 1. It's quite easy to make 3 posts without errors, while making 30 isn't. Also, it would give people who barely play a good change of becoming samurais (by posting once per page)

Nomic can be confusing - but the worst thing that can happen if you get something wrong is a penalty. As a new player, you'd have Newbie Protection, so the penalty would be at most 1 point. (and points are a lot easier to get than tokens) And you get never get below 0 points. So in the period that you use to understand the rules, nothing really bad could happen to you.

Also, most of the Games are unimportant - they are voluntary additions to Nomic. You don't have to play them.

There should be other ways than just having 7 points, right? Or would it be better to just edit rule 8? Something like: "Ninjas who distinguish themselves positively within Nomy shall be referred to as Samurai. Ninjas with 7 or more tokens are considered positively distinguished within Nomy."

§3 Motions are decided by the next player who posts. They can either be accepted or refused.
§4 If a motion is accepted, the rules have to be updated in that post.
§5 Double Posting is forbidden.
§6 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.
§7 All Ninjas in Nomy must be referred to as ninjas
§8 Ninjas who distinguish themselves positively within Nomy shall be referred to as Samurai. Ninjas with 7 or more tokens are considered positively distinguished within Nomy
§9 A post which passes a motion must include a correct table of tokens (the score must include the motion that was just passed)
§10 The score of a ninja is reduced by one token for each infraction of the rules they make. A ninja may only get 1 penalty for each post. The highest penalty shall be chosen as the one to be give. If there are more than 3 different causes for penalties in the post, the arbiter may set the penalty for the post."
§11 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".
§12 a Ninja shall not submit motions which promote the motion maker to Samurai status.
§13 On promotion to Samurai status, the ninja being promoted gains 5 bonus tokens 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. No ninja may recieve this bonus more than once.
§14 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.
§15 It is forbidden to make any motion that, when accepted, would prevent further changes to the ruleset.
§16 All motions must be accompanied by a 5-7-5 syllable haiku; any motion not thus accompanied shall be automatically rejected.
§17 The score in Nomy 1.0 shall be called tokens instead of points, so as to avoid confusion with Nomic 16.0
§18 Any ninja promoted to Samauri status need not give a sound reason to reject a motion.
§19 In order to win this game, you must be a samurai.
§20 Ninjas are allowed to guess the next poster a maximum of once per day. If they are correct, they gain a point, but if they are wrong they lose a point.
§21 Any player with -7 points or less shall be considered a pirate; all posts by pirates are to be ignored.
§22 All ninjas start with a Stick, and may pay tokens to upgrade it to the following: (you always need to have purchased the previous version to purchase the next) Wooden Sword for 1 token, Iron Sword for 2 tokens, Katana for 3 tokens.
§23 Ninjas must have at least an iron sword in order to become samurai.
§24 There is a dragon in this game. Whoever manages to slay the dragon shall become the winner of Nomy. You cannot attack the dragon unless you are a samurai, and you cannot harm the dragon unless there is a rule that allows it.
§25 Samurais can learn magic. Magic is the only thing that can hurt the dragon. The spells you may learn are: Fireball for 1 token, Lightning for 3 tokens, and Earthquake for 5 tokens. You may not learn a spell unless you have already learned the previous spell.

I sneak carefully
lumbering beast sleeps soundly
take the bread and go

Rejected. as I don't know what bread you are talking about. We are trying to steal the dragon's beard. Which also means you don't manage to steal the dragon's beard, since you don't try in your haiku.

I make a motion to give the dragon 50 hitpoints.

This is a motion
About which I write a new
Haiku to tell you

--

Shadows curl softly around the mountains
As I slip from the cover of the fountains
Quickly I leave the village behind me
Sneak to the cavern to see what I can see

The dragon lies seemingly fast asleep
Which means his beard is mine to keep
I grin with expectations of success
This will help help my plans progress

Suddenly a beam of silver moonlight
Breaks through the clouds and the night
It hits my sword and is reflected
To be cave, easy to be detected

The dragon blinks as he slowly wakes
His every movement an earthquake
I hide behind a tree and pray
That my life should not end today

The dragon searches for the reason
That woke him, an act he deems as treason
He stretches quick and flies away
His tormentor to find and slay

As the dragon passes by the tree
His tail is passing close to me
I grab a hold and hang on tight
As we fly on all through the night

Eventually the dragon returns home
The mighty cave surrounds us like a dome
The beast lays down and falls asleep
Lying on the floor like a large heap

I silently slip from where I'm hidden
The back of the beast where I've ridden
Softly I sneak to the dragon's face
Determined to end this endless chase

I draw my katana and cut his beard
That a dragon has a beard is weird
I leave the cave as quickly as I came
Unharmed by the dragon's deadly flame
