Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
Nomic is a game that well exemplifies the paradox of self-amendment.
http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/writi...ow%20to%20play The initial rules follow the basic gameplay explanation. I'm just interested in seeing if any of you CTrs are interested in playing. If no one knows who you are I'd prefer you'd not post, because you are probably stupid. I guess a basic synopsis would be good for lazier people. Basically, you have a bunch of initial rules that govern gameplay, and how you win. You take turns voting on new rules, ousting rules, or disabling rules. |

*sigh*
Thank you for that rousing addition, can't believe I missed that. |
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
That game seems to be quite silly
|
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
I think you should play this with LightKnight and ddrruler.
Let us know how it turns out. |
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
My bro quit FFR. Leave him alone. Although, I suspect he may be around after 3rd Style.

You never know, that could've taken a lot of thought to come up with... I mean, he did post the link to that game and all...

Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
Wow, that's an interesting concept.
|
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
What an interesting game... too bad I'll never be able to play it.
|
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
I saw this like last year in Games Magazine
it's much more interesting than it seems from right away (or so say the writers of htat magazine) I respect the opinions of those people because they play tons of games and they know what is serious business. They say that one of those games takes like 11 hours to play because the rules can do whatever they want. I don't think I have the time to try a game like that though. |
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
Bump because this is a really cool game that deserves more exposure.
Unfortunately I have no idea how I'd go about actually playing it. <.< Anyone tried it and have an idea of the strategy? |
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
worst bump ever.
|
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
Unlocked, by request that someone wants to make a legit bump.

Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
If we start this game up we need at least 3 people for now. I count for the first one and we need two more. For people who are too lazy to read the first post the link to the rules is: http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/writing/nomic.htm You do not have to read part A but part B is recommended, along with the starting rules. How we go about playing the game will be decided once we actually start.
|
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
I won't actually play, but here are a few rules I'd add:
301. The game ends as soon as any rule is made or changed. 302. When the game ends, all players lose. |

Are you going to play Patashu?
|
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
What's paradoxical about self-amendment...?
|
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
In. I played this game at DDRFreak. I made an amendment that prevented the game from being screwed over if one person didn't vote, but one person didn't vote, and the game got screwed.

Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
Ok, so the current members are ddrdanc3r55 and I. So how are we going to play? I suggest we delete this topic/make a new one so we dont have the first 20 or so posts cluttering it up. One the new topic the first post will have all the rules we currently have, the proposals, and the members. Then I can edit my post as the game progresses.
|
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
I'll play, this sounds interesting.
|
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
I wouldn't play, I'd have no idea what to do.
|
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
So this is kind of pending approval from above on whether or not we can start a new thread.
|
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
*throws hat into the circle* I'd like to play.
|
Re: Nomic, a game based on "The Paradox of Self-Amendment."
Start a new thread, definitely, when the game starts, more organised that way.
