Nomic: The game where YOU make the rules!

[DiplomatDC]

Please don't forget that proposals 337, 340, 341, 342, 343, and 344 are still active. Unless you have a reason not to, make sure you are voting! (Don't just pocket-veto the proposals by letting them expire!)

Also, spending two points to gain two watermelons.

Pedit: Why must you do this to me?
HURT: 345
I hate the

unless future rules state otherwise

clause.
Pedit2: Stop it! I *just* finished updating .

I'm waiting on the results of previous proposals.

The light bulb market in the front page lists 2 investors, but states there is only one.

[123456789]

Everything is up to date except for that one error you pointed out. The list is correct.

HEAL: 342

If I have any lightbulbs I'd like to invest in the lightbulb market.

I feel like vegetables and fruits and two distinct categories, and as such, if a lemon is a vegetable it is implied it is not a fruit because it cant be both.

The thing is, in Nomic, you can say whatever you like about a thing. For instance, we currently have a rule that bees are equivalent to Watermelons. Obviously, such a rule is preposterous in real life.

Thus, in Nomic, most things have to be explicit, and this is one of those things.

How pedantic can I get? Cuz then I would object to the notion that 'watermelons', 'lemons', 'oranges', and 'raspberries' are classified as fruit to begin with given that there is no rule stating such; the only thing proposed either way is that lemons should be classified as vegetables and that lightbulbs are not fruit.

Proposal 346: Objects do not inherently belong to any given food category; a rule must be passed to designate an object as belonging to a specific food category. Objects can only belong to one food category at a time.

also I'm a she btw

[123456789]

I mean, I guess it is kind of a gray area with different possible interpretations. In the case of "watermelons", "lemons", "oranges", and "raspberries" being classified as fruit, I think that's valid because it is the natural way of classifying them if you understand what I mean. Perhaps it would have been better for me to state that things that differ from normal interpretations must be explicit.

HEAL: 346

Proposal 347: Watermelons, oranges, apples, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and grapes are categorized as "Fruits".

HEAL: 347

I'll update tomorrow at some time.

[skitter30]

Eh, fair enough

Proposal 348 (edit to 343? whichever is easier/the right way of doing this): Lemons are categorized as 'vegetables'.

abstain on 347 - I object to watermelons being classified as fruits given that they're bees. If you remove watermelons I'll vote it.

(these are words I never thought I'd be typing lol)

actually now that I think about it I don't know how 344 and 346 interact with each other

Am I allowed to change a vote I made previously?

Yes, you can change votes as long as the proposal hasn’t passed/rejected/expired yet. Just record.

I’ll accept 348 as a new proposal. You can self reject 343 if you like.

I apologize but I'm gonna update this tomorrow.

[Irrelephant11]

/out
I’ve had my fun but this is gonna start to take up too much of my time now that there’s a way to win

Good luck all!

[2 718281828459]

VOTE: Yes 345

[2 718281828459]

Oh, and also VOTE: Yes 346, 347, and 348.

Proposal 349: Create a new rule that states "Watermelons are not bees, and they are fruits."

[Ircher]

349 FYI would have no effect.

[DiplomatDC]

Proposal 350: Edit Rule 211 such that rules with higher ordinal numbers take precedence over rules with lower ordinal numbers.

[123456789]

HURT: 350
No.

[2 718281828459]

Not that it really matters. I mean, we can always just write the rules to specifically override the past rules.
VOTE: Neutral 350

[123456789]

You can’t vote neutral and the proper way to do it is by amending rules. Precedence is a really important thing to have; in fact, it ought to be transmuted to an immutable law as it is that important.

I was gonna update this today, but I didn’t realize I was going out in the evening so tomorrow for sure.

Proposal 351: Make rule 211 immutable

I mean, if the group likes your idea, then let it be. I do not care either way.

[skitter30]

HURT: 349
HURT: 350

I have to go see what 211 is

[skitter30]

I'm ambivalent on 351
