I cast my vote in favor of Ky's motion to make a way to get the bookmaker title. Now 1 for, 0 against.
I cast my vote in favor of Ky's motion to reward Chessmasters. Now 1 for, 0 against.
I accept Ky's challenge and ask Feiry to be judge.
I guess that Feiry will post next.

Yeah, new page!

Sure, I'll be judge. May the duel start now!

Buy: pet unicorn
can someone please tell me how to draft this thing so I can buy another to draft?

by **orangedragonfire** » Mon May 07, 2012 3:14 am UTC

Well, drafting unicorns is/was part of the The Thread Necromancy Game branch of Nomic. Which is pretty much dead now.

I don't see any problem.

Firey, you posted (awarded Fiery a Leadership perk due to having 5 honorable titles) in this post, the last one of the last page. It seems you only have 4 titles. Is there a mistake?

I demand that White make a move

I'm still waiting on your move for round 3 of your duel with Odin, Fiery.

What is the rationale behind preventing egotistical votes from casting the 3rd vote on your own motion? Does it matter which vote it is? The deciding vote isn't really more important than the others; the order of who votes when doesn't affect if it passes or not. Any ideas?

That was right before I lost the Newbie of the Nomic title.

I don't remember - feel free to make a motion in order to change this if you want.

I cast my vote in favor of Ky's motion to make a way to get the bookmaster title. Now 3 for, 0 against. Motion passes.
I cast my vote against Ky's motion to reward Chessmasters. Now 2 for, 1 against.

I make a motion to create a new perk:
Wisdom Perk - this perk shall be awarded to everyone who has a win-count of at least 1, and allows the player to double post (though not more than twice in a row)
For the purposes of voting, this motion shall be referred to as Fiery's motion to create Wisdom.

I make a motion to allow for more Protection Perks. Specifically, I'd like the description of Protection Perk to read: "Protection Perk - Reduces all penalties you get by one, to a minimum of 0. This is applied after all other effects. In addition to the amount of Protection Perks allowed as described elsewhere in the rules, you may have as many Protection Perks as you have titles. Is obtained by having more titles than Protection Perks."
For the purposes of voting, this motion shall be referred to as Fiery's motion to allow for more Protection Perks.

Good. I was concerned because if you didn't rightfully have it, I couldn't rightfully buy it.

I cast my vote in favor of Fiery's motion to create Wisdom. (Now 1 for, 0 against)
I cast my vote in favor of Fiery's motion to allow for more Protection Perks. (Now 1 for, 0 against)

I move that the text of Egoistical Voting Perk be changed to "can be bought for 40 points. Allows you to vote on your own motions." Removing the stipulation about "except for the final vote". For the purposes of voting this shall be refered to Ky's motion to use Egotistical voting more egotistically.

I make a motion that the amount of points you get from winning the lottery be changed to all the points spent on the lottery plus 10. For the purposes of voting, this motion shall be referred to as Odin's motion to increase the points won from the lottery.
No one's really buying any lottery tickets, so I was thinking a bigger reward might help. The way it is now, if no one else buys one, then all you win is your money back. This way, it will encourage people to buy tickets because they will win more than their money back, and it will also encourage others to play to stop them from winning points by being the only one to buy a ticket.

I make a motion that pet unicorns earn their owner two points at the beginning of each new page. This is because unicorns have the ability to absorb awesomeness from the air and convert it into points. For the purposes of voting, this motion shall be referred to as Odin's motion to allow unicorns to earn points.

White:

Buy: Unicorn for 10 points.

Buy: Grand High Poobah of the Nomic title for 35 points.
Buy: Bookmaker title for 30 points

I offer to trade my title of Grand High Poobah of the Nomic for 50 points.
I offer to trade my title of Bookmaker for 30 points.

I cast my vote in favor of Odin's motion to allow unicorns to earn points (now 1 for, 0 against)
I abstain from voting on Odin's motion to increase the points won from the lottery. (now 0 for, 0 against, 1 abstain) While I agree with the idea, I think that 10 points is too much.

Well, I should have enough titles to get two more Leadership perks, so I can make lots and lots of motions! =D

I make a motion to reduce the price for all items except for lottery tickets by your win-count, down to a minimum of 1 point. For the purposes of voting, this motion shall be referred to as Fiery's motion to give veteran players a discount.

I make a motion to limit the amount of Leadership perks a person can have to 1. For the purposes of voting, this motion shall be referred to as Fiery's motion to prevent people from making 5 motions at a time.

I make a motion to let players award 20 points to another player upon getting the Poobah title. The intend is that they may reward the person who introduced them to Nomic 16.0, although they may give these 20 points to whomever they choose. For the purpose of voting, this motion shall be referred to as Fiery's motion to reward people for introducing new players to the game.

I make a motion that if Nomic 16.0 should be inactive for 3 consecutive weeks, the player with the highest win-count is declared the Winner. The number of points shall be the tie-breaker if there are several people with the same highest win-count. For the purpose of voting, this motion shall be referred to as Fiery's motion to define what happens if Nomic 16.0 becomes inactive.

I make a motion that the Arbiter may decide whether an action constitutes a loophole abuse, and subsequently declare that action void. For the purposes of voting, this motion shall be referred to as Fiery's motion to limit loophole abuse. Not that we have had problems with this thus far... but the rules do have a few holes in them.

The amount of points you get from winning the lottery will be changed to all the points spent on the lottery plus 5.
