Hemalurgic Headshot Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Mog takes the trout from AE gratefully. What beautiful specimens! Thank you! Please take these 5 Eggs as payment. May I suggest an amendment to the Rule of Locations? Instead of complicating the game board with different Shardworlds, the board instead represents the local landscape: a field, forest, river, and village. I have no idea what these regions would do, but that doesn’t matter to me. Is anyone interested in purchasing the doorknobs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaTerminal Posted April 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 A number of new rules have been passed: the Fair Play Act, the Settlers of Disputes, and the Bold Text Initiative. (A note: deciding on what constitutes as 'reasons' will probably be down to a Settlers of Disputes vote.) 3 eggs have been awarded to Dr. Dapper, 3 to AonEne, and 3 to MiToRo. The amendment for the Rule of Locations has been included into the rule itself, as all who support the rule support the amendment (including me). Rules 94, 97 and 98 have thus been added to the Waiting List. I second the Monopoly Rule and the Rule of Zwei #2. I propose the Rule of Forbidden Things: that acknowledging this rule's existence is impossible. I withdraw it from consideration. :3 Due to issues with setting up a new poll for deciding presidency, I will instead be doing it in any format that @I think I am here. and @AonEne can agree on a format. I am massively out of date on Participation Eggs, but I claim it now. (I also had to manually change the formatting of the rules due to the Initiative. I hope you're all happy.) To Itiah, Hemalurgic Headshot, and Taradiddle: I move pawn d4. My Character Sheet: Spoiler Name: MeterDescription: A five-dimensional being who has restricted themselves to this plane of reality for causa metrica.Abilities: Has a deep understanding of largely irrelevant historical events. Maintains the rules of the universe, though often forgets to update them. Is Turing Complete, but only on weekends.Weaknesses: Forgetful. Busy with extra-dimensional work. Once released a god without really thinking about the consequences. Third-dimensional computer's enter function is broken, for some reason.Appearance: A mix between that scene in Doctor Strange and that scene from Interstellar.Homeworld: The Eastern Australian Empire. Sometimes lives in the actual present-day Roman Empire, currently known as Finland. Gameboard Spoiler Character Sheets Spoiler (To be edited in.) Player Attributes Spoiler @MetaTerminal 14 eggs, White Queen at d1 @Lunamor 0 eggs @Dr. Dapper -4 eggs @AonEne 196 eggs (or an infinite number), President @MiToRo94 17 eggs @I think I am here. -10 eggs, White Bishop on C1 @TheVillageIdiot 9 eggs @Voidus An infinite number of eggs @Kidpen -30 eggs @Jaywalk -10 eggs @Silverblade5 0 eggs @AonDii 135 eggs @Taradiddle -7 eggs, Black Knight on G1 @Hemalurgic Headshot -13 eggs, Black Bishop on C8 @Rossamund -5 eggs Existing Rules (ie rules that are in effect): Spoiler Section 1: Core Ruleset The Main Idea: Players take turns suggesting rules, or amendments to or the removal of existing rules. The Voting Clause: Upon a majority vote of more than three players, said amendments or removals are taken into effect. (Note: no rule is exempt from this rule, including this one, unless superseded by another rule.) The Winning Rule: The winning player shall be the first player that wins. When one player wins, all other players lose. Section 2: Winning 4. The Points Rule: The winning player shall be the first player to reach one million points. Section 3: Rules About Rules 5. The Equal Opportunity Act: any rule that discriminates based on the identities of players outside of the game (including screenname, rank, etc.) shall be considered invalid. (Note from Meta - overrules Meta’s Sanity.) 18. The Original Version of the Rule of Honor: That anyone with the ability to modify the posts of others (mods/admins) or make minute, unnoticeable changes to the laws when listing them (Meta or anyone else who does) NOT be allowed to do so - no cheating, people. 27. The Fair Play Act: If a player cannot obey a rule for 'reasons' then they receive no punishment. 39. The Paradox of Retroactive Rulings: Rules will never retroactively apply to posts made prior to the rule being voted into effect - unless directly stated otherwise in the rule. This applies to Eggs given or taken for certain kinds of posts, as well as rule infractions that would lead to any sort of punishment. 54. The Voidus law of mayhem: People should be able to interpret anything in any logically consistent manner. 62. Ene’s Third Rule: that rules allowing players to automatically win not be allowed for submission. 64. Title Rule: All rules, amendments, and the like must have names. Voting 43. (Edit in the Brevity Act.) 46. The law of inactivity: If a player does not comment supporting a rule, then their vote will count as a no. 50. Discarded Proposal: If any proposal has been left unapproved after a total of 24 hours, and during that time a number of players equal to the number necessary for approving it with a majority vote have been active, that proposal will immediately be dismissed and have to be re-submitted without any votes. 70. Mac's First rule of organization: For a rule to make it onto the list of rules that can be considered (the waitlist), someone needs to propose it, and another person needs to second it. 71. Mac's Second rule of organization: There is a list of 15 rules that can be voted on at any given moment (the waitlist), regardless of how many rules have been submitted and seconded. 72. Mac's third rule of organization: Rules are divided into categories based on what they cover. Examples could include: Acquisition, Removal, or Transfer of eggs, Fun things (E.X. rule 15). Player rules (like the rule of inactivity). There is no limit to the amount of categories, but people should make an honest effort to try to fit rules into categories. 77. The Settlers of Disputes: If a dispute comes up about any aspect of the game, the dispute can be settled by a vote. The dispute will be decided by whichever side gets 3 votes first (any player can place one vote, but if there are multiple people directly involved in either side of the dispute, all those directly involved will only be able to count as one vote per side. This way we prevent a group of 3 players from joining together to jointly benefit from a dispute that they can settle immediately on their own.) 85. The Rule of Activity. (To be edited in soon.) Section 4: Posting Guidelines 7. The Unnamed Proposal: just for clarification, voting for amendments should be in red and removals should be in green. 11. Meta’s Clause: That every post that passes judgement (ie votes for or against) a rule must also propose a new rule. Should a vote be made without also proposing a new rule, then said vote is considered void until an associated rule is proposed. 15. The Act of Animal Inclusion: Every post from here on out must have an image of a dog in it, real or fake, picture or gif, wordless or meme, so long as it's not inappropriate. The Act of Dog Inclusion also allows depictions of cats to fulfill its requirements. Depictions of any animal fulfill its requirements, so long as the poster genuinely appreciates the animal being posted - whether that is in cuteness, silliness, or any other positive feeling. 32. New Rule the First: New proposed rules must rhyme, this rule will last till the end of time. 44. The rule of rules actually meaning something: Any post that violates a rule shall be considered void of all meaning for the purposes of this game, specifically no votes in said post shall be counted, no rules proposed shall be voted upon, no points can be gained, no other rules that would apply any benefit or punishment outside of this rule shall take effect until said post is in accordance with all rules. 56. Musical Page Proposal: that the first person to post on the tenth, twentieth, thirtieth, and so on (you guys know what I mean, please interpret this seriously - I just don't want to type infinity out) pages of this thread must include a CLEAN music video in their post. If they don't notice they're going to be that post and edit it in a few minutes later, they have not broken this rule. 76. The Rule Lawyering Rule. (This rule states that Rule Lawyering is forbidden - what is defined as Rule Lawyering can be decided on as a case by case basis, with common sense prevailing in this regard. (As a general concept, if passing a rule or making any sort of action requires bending existing rules to a great extent - by introducing alternate definitions or , or is contradicted by the Literal Rule, then it could be called Rules Lawyering.) Any post that is determined to contain Rule Lawyering will be entirely invalidated, under the same conditions as the rule to keep rules meaningful. Using a loophole that is clearly evident is obviously fine.) (This Rule is out of date - contact Meta for the details.) 79. First rule of Idiocy: Each post must include a quote, regardless of form, context, or other defining features. 86. The Bold Text Initiative. Should anyone use bold text while on this thread, that person loses one Egg. Section 4: Eggs General Rules and Definitions 8. The Trading Rule: each player starts with 0 points. Players can give points to other players, or - with the agreement of said other player - ‘trade’ something for points. Once both players agree on the terms, the transfer occurs automatically. 12. First Law of Dapper: Points are to be hereafter refered to as eggs. 10. Ene’s Second Rule: I also propose the rule that players must keep track of how many points they have in their signatures, About Mes, titles, or in each of their posts on this thread. 20. The Negative Rule: Any player can have negative points if they have lost more points than they currently have, but a player cannot have more negative points than the total amount of points needed to win. 33. New Rule the Second: Every 10 eggs will be referred to as a "Basket". 84. the Rule of Big Eggs: Once you have gained 100 Eggs, you lose all your Eggs and get one Big Egg. Each Big Egg is worth 100 Eggs. Receiving Eggs 9. Ene’s First Rule: one way for points to be given should be by awarding them to people based on rules of theirs that go into effect, three per rule. 16. Voidus’ Law of Unfair Advantage: All those who support this rule shall gain two points for every point that is gained by someone who did not support this rule. 22. MiToRo's Rule of Forgiveness: Whenever a player has negative points, that player may post an apology - no shorter than 3 full sentences, and unique to each other player - to other players in order to regain 1 point per apology. 23. Reputation Points Rule: For each reputation awarded to a post, that poster gains 10 points. (Overruled by moderator intervention.) 24. Everyone Is A Winner Rule: Any time a proposal - new rule, amendment, removal, or any other rule adjustment - gains unanimous support, the proposer gains 10 points, while the first 2 supporters (after the original proposer) gain 5 points. Unanimous support here means that all players vote in favor of the rule until the rule goes into effect; once the rule would go into effect, future voters who vote against it will not affect the points given by this rule. 34. Participation Eggs: Once per 24 hour period, if a player makes a post and votes on all current proposals as well as submits at least one new proposal, that player gains 25 Eggs. 38. Duel of Awww: Any player may challenge another player to a Duel of Awww, along with a bet amount. The challenger may bet any number of Eggs up to the current total Eggs held by the lesser of the two players; if one or both players has 0 Eggs, the bet is automatically set to 10 Eggs. The Duel of Awww begins once the challenged player accepts the duel in a new post. The public (all other players not participating in the duel) votes on which of the two duelers has the better animal picture - as per rule 15 - based on any arbitrary qualifications they would like. The animal pictures used for the duel will be the ones posted in the challenge post and the acceptance post, and must have both been a picture taken/drawn/created by the respective dueler. Once a majority vote has been reached, the winner gains the bet amount in Eggs and the loser loses the same amount, unless the loser has fewer Eggs - in the case of starting with 0 points - then the loser goes to 0 total Eggs while the winner gains 10 Eggs. 41. The Spikes Rule: Spiking newcomers in the Intro thread gives the spiker 100 points. This rule applies retroactively. 45. The Maybe A Rule So We Can Actually Start Earning Eggs? Rule: At any time, any group of players (at least 2) may compete in any game available to them (whether online or in person, as long as it can be verified). Examples include, but are not limited to, a game of chess, a pokemon battle, a footrace around the world, etc... Upon completion of the game, the winner gains a number of Eggs equal to 100 x the number of other players (i.e. the winner gains 100 Eggs if the game was only between two players), and the losers lose 100 Eggs each, unless a different amount was specified in a challenge post to initiate the game. In the case of a tie, the following occurs: if all players tie for the win, no Eggs are gained or lost; if some but not all participating players tie for the win, each winner gains a number of Eggs equal to 100 x the number of losers / the number of winners, and each loser still loses 100 Eggs. 68. Voidus' Rule of Things: If a player posts the word 'things' in any post (Editing it in does not count) then they are to be awarded 20 Eggs. However if someone quotes said post and says 'and stuff' then the original player loses 10 Eggs, does not gain any Eggs that they would otherwise gain, and the player who quoted them gains 10 Eggs. 87. The Rule of Egg Puns: If someone makes an egg pun that is deemed valid, funny, and relevant by three people besides the poster of said egg pun, that poster will be awarded 46 Eggs. Losing Eggs 21. MiToRo's Rule of Punishment: Any post that breaks a rule that has been in effect for longer than 15 minutes - to give time for those who have simply not refreshed their page - shall cause that poster to lose 10 points. 35. Non-Participation Eggs: In any 24 hour period, if any player makes more than one post that does not include votes on all current proposals, that player loses 25 Eggs per post after their first without necessary votes. Section 5: Coolness Levels 13. Second Law of Dapper: Every ten Eggs you get your Coolness Level goes up by one. 14. Third Law of Dapper: Each Coolness Level make you cooler. Section 6: General Rules 17. Voidus' Rule of Potential Karmic Retribution: Should a player propose a rule to change the name of 'points', that player is to be referred to by the name they suggest changing points to, until such a time as the rule is adopted. 19. The Rule for Meta’s Sanity: that Voidus be unable to edit posts in the thread for his own benefit, under threat of immediately losing the game; and that Rule 16 shall be considered irrevocably immoral and unimplementable, from now and in perpetuity, and that should it be passed Voidus will immediately lose the game. 28. The Act that Concerns the Frequency of Turns (or ACFT): as stated by the Main Idea, you may only create new rules or amendments on your turn. You may only take a turn if two other people have taken their turn between now and your most previous turn, or if you have not taken your turn in over 24 hours. You do not have to propose a rule on your turn (unless otherwise indicated, eg by Meta’s Clause). 30. The Rule that Says You’ve Lost the Game (or RSYLG): every player must lose the Game at least once every ten turns. Other players are morally obligated to remind players when this requirement due. To announce the fact that you have lost the Game, say in a post during which you have taken your turn, “I have lost the Game.” Section 7: UNO 25. The UNO Rule. If at any time, a post violates the rules, someone must point it out by quoting the post and saying ‘UNO!’ in order to implement any Egg changes or changes in game state - ie cheating in and of itself does not trigger any rules, but instead someone has to point it out. There is no time limit on UNO. Section 8: Gameboard 29. The Chessboard Rule: there exists a standard chessboard, originally starting as the starting piece positions for white and black. Each player may elect one piece on the board as theirs - during their turn, they may move their piece as per the standard rules of chess. Checking a piece (checks being defined as per standard chess rules) which is controlled by another player (the ‘recipient’) gains the moving player 100 points, and loses the recipient 100 points. Mutual checks provide no point increase or deduction for either side. Section 9: Democracy 31. The Beginnings of Democracy: We have a poll and whoever gets the most votes is the president, who gets the ability to give up to 50 points to anyone but themselves. 36. The French Law: at any time, a member of the ‘public’ (ie a non-presidential person) may declare a vote to overthrow the president. If a majority vote is attained, the person who started the poll becomes the new president in the place of the old one. Section 10: Joining and Leaving the Game 37. Fair Start: Any new player who starts the game after this point will begin with a number of Eggs equal to the player with the next lowest amount of Eggs - this could still be 0. 55. The Last Will and Testament: If any player wishes to leave the game, they may do so freely. In doing so, they may select another current player to receive all of the retiring player's Eggs (only a positive number of Eggs may be given), or choose to allow the Eggs to expire without going to anyone else. Section 11: Role-Playing 73. Voidus' Ultimatum of Doom! (Also known as: Everything is RP): All players shall create a character sheet containing basic details for a character that shall represent the player in a collaborative RP. Every post that a player makes in-character for the character represented by the character sheet shall earn that player 1 point. Section 12: Wandering Merchants 91. The Wandering Merchant Exception has the following clauses: A player posting for the first time in the thread "Nomic - A Forum Game" [hereafter referred to as the Thread] is considered a "Wandering Merchant." After their first post, a player must not post at all in the Thread for no less than 24 hours or until two new pages have been added since that player posted previously. A player is only considered a Wandering Merchant for that singular post; any subsequent posts by that player in the Thread will remove the Wandering Merchant modifier if they do not meet the spacing requirements. Wandering Merchants are exempt from punishments or restrictions exacted by rules. This prevents new players from immediately becoming invalidated. Attempts to infringe on the speech, expression, or influence of a Wandering Merchant by any player is rendered null and void. Wandering Merchants have the ability to grant Side Quests to a specific player. Wandering Merchants have a limit of one Side Quest per post. Side Quests award the chosen player an amount of Eggs upon completion. 92. Wandering Merchant Neutrality Act: That Wandering Merchants are unable to call UNO or attempt to punish any other player while a Wandering Merchant. Waiting List (ONLY THESE PROPOSALS CAN BE VOTED ON) Spoiler 51. The PM of Productivity: Same thing (in reference to Rule 47), but with a PM. I'm fine there being a President of the PM also. (3) 57. New Rule Proposal: MiToRo wins! If this rule is put into effect, MiToRo immediately gains 1 million Eggs and wins. (3) 60. The Proposal Proposal: If a player has ever been married or engaged, including in a roleplay, that player gets one Egg every time they lose any amount of Eggs. (3) 63. Meta’s Clause Removal: That Meta’s Clause should be removed from the rules and no longer be in effect. (3) 67. Jaywalk’s First Declaration: that we make porpoises the mascot of this thread. (3) 78. The Fonz Rule: Every ten levels of coolness you reach you must post a quote from Henry Winkler. (3) 83. Rule of players: To be considered a player, you must be following this thread (3) 88. The Continuation of Democracy: under this law, the Players will be split into roughly equal parts( groups decided by the president). When voting, group 1 votes, then if it passes, group 2 votes, then if it passes then, the president must pass or veto it. If it is vetoed, the it goes back to the beginning, and must gain a unanimous vote in the first two sections, if not, then it must be proposed again. If it fails in stage one or two, it fails and must be proposed again. (3) 93. The superior terminology act: the plural form of Egg is Eggs or Eggses; 12 Eggses is a carton; a player is a citizen; a rule is a law. (3) 95. The Corporations Rule: That a group players may agree to form a corporation under a name, and that upon the forming of said corporation the amount of Eggs that each person in the corporation (hereafter referred to as a ‘member’) has (be it positive or negative) is pooled into one shared sum (hereafter referred to as the Bank Balance). If a member chooses to leave a corporation, they receive ( S x n^(-1) ) Eggs (where S is the number of Eggs in the Bank Balance and n is the number of members) - this means that if everyone chooses to leave all at once they will all receive an equal amount of eggs. Any changes to a member’s Egg amount is instead applied to the corporation’s Bank Balance. A member may join a corporation after it has been formed if they receive the approval to join from a majority of the corporation’s members. (3) 96. law of people who obsessively correct other's grammar: if a Player uses incorrect grammar, they lose 10 Eggs and the person who points out the mistake gains 10 Eggs (2) 100. the Amended Sanity Rule: That Rule 16 be removed from effect, and that any effects to egg balances caused by the rule (ie increases, decreases, transfers, or any other changes in egg state that the rule allowed or caused) shall be revoked, overruled and undone retroactively, so the game can be fair. This rule supersedes all other rules (lest players despair). (3) 94. The Let Fate Decide Rule: If a player is accused of violating a rule, they can call a correctness check. Both players roll a d20. If one of the two players originally proposed the rule in question, they get a +2 modifier. For every 3 rules in the current rule book that a player originally proposed, they get +1 to their score, however this is only to a maximum of +3. The higher total score wins. The supposed rule violater loses 30 eggs as well as any they would of lost for the rule the originally violated if they lose the roll. The challenger will lose 35 eggs if they lose the roll. (2) 97. The Wandering Commerce Addendum. According to the Trading Rule (Rule 8), players may exchange points/Eggs for goods and services, or simply gift points. Due to the nature of the Merchants Guild, it is only appropriate that Merchants have a particular obligation to the act of buying and selling. Thus, the Wandering Commerce Addendum: Wandering Merchants can post consecutively without losing the status of Wandering Merchant if the following posts pertain only to the selling of the Merchant's wares. This allows for players to bargain and counteroffer with the Merchant appropriately. Bears. (2) 98. The Merchants Guild Act creates an official institution comprising of Wandering Merchants and offers a medium through which the goals of the collective Merchants may be accomplished. (2) Other Proposals (in order of time seconded, then time proposed): Spoiler 99. rule 97, The forgotten naming scheme: All points shall henceforth be called "stygian drops" or "drops". 10 drops will be called a "forgetful water balloon" or "water balloon". 100 drops will be called a puddle. (2) 102. The Rule of Locations: That the Gameboard be divided into four equal regions, considered ‘top-left’ (everything north and west of d5), ‘top-right’ (everything north and east of e5), ‘bottom-left’ (everything south and west of d4) and ‘bottom-right’ (everything south and east of e4), and that these locations shall correspond to the following places in the RP: a field, forest, river, and a village respectively. In order to be in a place in the RP (and take part in discussions in said places, etc.) you must have a piece on the board in these locations. In addition, every location created in the RP must have a position on the Gameboard. (2) 101. the Monopoly rule: This causes our chess board to become a confusing, dice less monopoly board. Each square of the chess/monopoly board will have a property value to be determined after the rule is enacted... I’m sorry I couldn’t think of anything besides Chessopoly. (2) 105: The Rule of Zwei #2: Zwei is an NPC in the roleplay. (2) 103. The Rule of Pieces: Every player must have a piece on the board. If you choose, you may place a non-chess piece which has the same movement abilities of a king (known as a ‘checker’) on the board as close as possible to the centre in a region of your choosing (prioritising north, east, south and then west directionally if their is ambiguity in possible placements). Multiple checkers may stack upon each other, but no checker may share a square with a chess piece (ie move to a chess-filled square, or have a chess piece move to a checker-filled square - this does mean that checkers ‘block’ moves through that square even if the move does not end on that square) and checkers may not check or be checked. A player may discard their checker for a chess piece at any time of their choosing, but may not do the reverse. (1) 104. The Rule of Zwei: (barking). (1) Proposed Amendments: Spoiler * That the Winning Rule be ammended so that the authors of this and the next two posts directly after it be the winners. (2) * I would like to amend my own rule (16. Voidus’ Law of Unfair Advantage) to addend the following: No rule or ammendment may be passed or voted on if that rule would alter any part of Voidus’ Law of Unfair Advantage or punish those who have voted in favour of Voidus' Law of Unfair Advantage. And no person who has only conditionally voted in favour of Voidus’ Law of Unfair Advantage shall count as having voted for it, except for the purposes of passing the rule. (1) * amendment to 15: You must use a picture different from every picture you've used so far. The Internet is big, there are enough. (2) * amendment to the winning rule. Along with having 1 million points, having -1 million points also makes you win. (3) * yet another amendment to Rule 15: Humans do not count as animals for the sake of this rule. (1) * an amendment (to Rule 95): Different spelling due to living in different countries, where that spelling is right - i.e. all y'all's crazy U's everywhere and using S instead of Z sometimes - won't be counted. None of us want to go down that rabbird hole. (2) * the amendment (to Rule 95) of the Oxford comma: the oxford comma must be used. (2) Failed Rules Spoiler 26. The Self Punishment Act: If a player breaks a rule, they will be able to decide what their punishment is. (2) 40. The Taxation Rule: The US tax code applies in its entirety to all points gained in whatever manner. (2) 42. The Rule of Exceptions: that rules that are multiples of 1, 2, 4, and 8 are exempt from rules that are multiples of 3. (1) 47. The Discord of Disputes: In order to prevent this thread from being over-cluttered with meta-discussion (i.e. discussion about the game in a meta sense, not about the player, MetaTerminal), we should have a Discord channel for all meta-discussion. This channel should be completely exempt from all rules in order to allow for unrestricted discussion and quick resolutions to any disputes. If the players would like separate channels for other discussion (e.g. off-topic, new rule ideas without actually submitting them, commenting on particularly dramatic happenings within the game without cluttering up this thread, etc...) that will be allowed. This Discord channel would also be an good place to have easy access to a pinned list of all currently active rules and proposals. (2) 48. The President of Discord: In the event that we have a Discord channel and we have an elected president as per rule 31, the President will be in charge of keeping the Discord up to date. (1) 49. Dapper Anti Rule 15Act: Anyone who posts a photo in relation to rule 15 loses all their Coolness Levels and 6 pounds of Eggs. (1) 52. The Internal Consistency Plea: that the Literal Rule be rephrased as “All things, including rules, can be interpreted literally or metaphorically - as they were assumed to be intended - so long as it makes sense; and that any associated implications of the rule not explicitly stated should also be interpreted as true - this includes taking the spirit of a rule, even if the actual letter of the rule differs slightly due to a small technicality. This plea applies retroactively.” (2) 53. The not internally consistent rule: No rules have to be consistent with anything. Even themselves. (1) 61. The Following Proposal: From here on out, winning is actually bad. (2) 65. Don't Leave the Eggs to Spoil: At the end of each 24 hour period - to be established at midnight EDT for consistency - if none of the players have earned any Eggs (defined as a net positive gain of Eggs for any one player) during those 24 hours (not including Eggs earned from this rule as of the previous 24 hour period), then all players immediately earn 1000 points. (2) 66. Ene’s Fourth Rule: that porpoises be banned from this thread. (2) 69. Rule of Voting: Everyone who participates in the game must vote on at least five waiting proposals. We need to move some of these along! (2) 74. Macthorsten's government increase of efficiency proposal: This vote only needs the support of one other person to be passed. (Note from Meta: this is superseded by the Voting Clause.) The first person to support this rule besides me (note from Meta: this is Meta) gets the ability to cut any number of the rules on the waiting list in a one time purge. (2) 75. Silverblade’s First Law: that we remove voting and give all power to an undefined group of players. 80. The Accidentally Copied Rule of Losing: The first person to win The Game (fairly, without any hacks) wins. 81. The rule of losing: The first person to win The Game (fairly, without any hacks) wins. (2) 82. The rule of indefinitism: The only to win is by preforming actions necessary to win as the rule of losing declares (1) 89. The Relevancy Rule: Relevant xkcd’s are expressly forbidden on this thread. (2) 90.

GeneralHZRD Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 I would like to leave as well. I simply don't have the time necessary to be active in this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemalurgic Headshot Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Since activity seems to be dropping, I don't think trying to be a Wandering Merchant is the best option for the game. However, I still want to fulfill that role in some capacity. I now have trout to sell! Fresh trout! 3 Eggs each! Don't miss this wonderful opportunity! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaTerminal Posted April 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 And so the thread is resurrected. Welcome, new players. I recommend reading the initial post in this thread, which outlines the idea behind this game. Don’t read all of the rules. (You can, but I advise against it.) Just read the section on voting, Wandering Merchants, and Posting Guidelines. You should be able to catch up eventually. Unfortunately, multiple exams are glowering at me and sharpening their wicked blades from just around the temporal corner, so I have little time to govern rule passings! I welcome anyone to do so. It’s fairly easy - just track the changes in state. If you do it once a page then you should keep on top of it. :3. 14. To be or not to be, that is the question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossamund Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Sure you can, just copy the proposed rule's list from the last post of MetaTerminal and update that. When they take over again they can copy your list. If the thread doesn't dramatically increase in activity i could also govern the thread if you would prefer not to.

The Voting Clause: Upon a majority vote of more than three players, said amendments or removals are taken into effect. (Note: no rule is exempt from this rule, including this one, unless superseded by another rule.) The Winning Rule: The winning player shall be the first player that wins. When one player wins, all other players lose. Section 2: Winning 4. The Points Rule: The winning player shall be the first player to reach one million points. Section 3: Rules About Rules 5. The Equal Opportunity Act: any rule that discriminates based on the identities of players outside of the game (including screenname, rank, etc.) shall be considered invalid. (Note from Meta - overrules Meta’s Sanity.) 18. The Original Version of the Rule of Honor: That anyone with the ability to modify the posts of others (mods/admins) or make minute, unnoticeable changes to the laws when listing them (Meta or anyone else who does) NOT be allowed to do so - no cheating, people. 27. The Fair Play Act: If a player cannot obey a rule for 'reasons' then they receive no punishment. 39. The Paradox of Retroactive Rulings: Rules will never retroactively apply to posts made prior to the rule being voted into effect - unless directly stated otherwise in the rule. This applies to Eggs given or taken for certain kinds of posts, as well as rule infractions that would lead to any sort of punishment. 54. The Voidus law of mayhem: People should be able to interpret anything in any logically consistent manner. 62. Ene’s Third Rule: that rules allowing players to automatically win not be allowed for submission. 64. Title Rule: All rules, amendments, and the like must have names. Voting 43. (Edit in the Brevity Act.) 46. The law of inactivity: If a player does not comment supporting a rule, then their vote will count as a no. 50. Discarded Proposal: If any proposal has been left unapproved after a total of 24 hours, and during that time a number of players equal to the number necessary for approving it with a majority vote have been active, that proposal will immediately be dismissed and have to be re-submitted without any votes. 70. Mac's First rule of organization: For a rule to make it onto the list of rules that can be considered (the waitlist), someone needs to propose it, and another person needs to second it. 71. Mac's Second rule of organization: There is a list of 15 rules that can be voted on at any given moment (the waitlist), regardless of how many rules have been submitted and seconded. 72. Mac's third rule of organization: Rules are divided into categories based on what they cover. Examples could include: Acquisition, Removal, or Transfer of eggs, Fun things (E.X. rule 15). Player rules (like the rule of inactivity). There is no limit to the amount of categories, but people should make an honest effort to try to fit rules into categories. 77. The Settlers of Disputes: If a dispute comes up about any aspect of the game, the dispute can be settled by a vote. The dispute will be decided by whichever side gets 3 votes first (any player can place one vote, but if there are multiple people directly involved in either side of the dispute, all those directly involved will only be able to count as one vote per side. This way we prevent a group of 3 players from joining together to jointly benefit from a dispute that they can settle immediately on their own.) 85. The Rule of Activity. (To be edited in soon.) Section 4: Posting Guidelines 7. The Unnamed Proposal: just for clarification, voting for amendments should be in red and removals should be in green. 11. Meta’s Clause: That every post that passes judgement (ie votes for or against) a rule must also propose a new rule. Should a vote be made without also proposing a new rule, then said vote is considered void until an associated rule is proposed. 15. The Act of Animal Inclusion: Every post from here on out must have an image of a dog in it, real or fake, picture or gif, wordless or meme, so long as it's not inappropriate. The Act of Dog Inclusion also allows depictions of cats to fulfill its requirements. Depictions of any animal fulfill its requirements, so long as the poster genuinely appreciates the animal being posted - whether that is in cuteness, silliness, or any other positive feeling. 32. New Rule the First: New proposed rules must rhyme, this rule will last till the end of time. 44. The rule of rules actually meaning something: Any post that violates a rule shall be considered void of all meaning for the purposes of this game, specifically no votes in said post shall be counted, no rules proposed shall be voted upon, no points can be gained, no other rules that would apply any benefit or punishment outside of this rule shall take effect until said post is in accordance with all rules. 56. Musical Page Proposal: that the first person to post on the tenth, twentieth, thirtieth, and so on (you guys know what I mean, please interpret this seriously - I just don't want to type infinity out) pages of this thread must include a CLEAN music video in their post. If they don't notice they're going to be that post and edit it in a few minutes later, they have not broken this rule. 76. The Rule Lawyering Rule. (This rule states that Rule Lawyering is forbidden - what is defined as Rule Lawyering can be decided on as a case by case basis, with common sense prevailing in this regard. (As a general concept, if passing a rule or making any sort of action requires bending existing rules to a great extent - by introducing alternate definitions or , or is contradicted by the Literal Rule, then it could be called Rules Lawyering.) Any post that is determined to contain Rule Lawyering will be entirely invalidated, under the same conditions as the rule to keep rules meaningful. Using a loophole that is clearly evident is obviously fine.) (This Rule is out of date - contact Meta for the details.) 79. First rule of Idiocy: Each post must include a quote, regardless of form, context, or other defining features. 86. The Bold Text Initiative. Should anyone use bold text while on this thread, that person loses one Egg. Section 4: Eggs General Rules and Definitions 8. The Trading Rule: each player starts with 0 points. Players can give points to other players, or - with the agreement of said other player - ‘trade’ something for points. Once both players agree on the terms, the transfer occurs automatically. 12. First Law of Dapper: Points are to be hereafter refered to as eggs. 10. Ene’s Second Rule: I also propose the rule that players must keep track of how many points they have in their signatures, About Mes, titles, or in each of their posts on this thread. 20. The Negative Rule: Any player can have negative points if they have lost more points than they currently have, but a player cannot have more negative points than the total amount of points needed to win. 33. New Rule the Second: Every 10 eggs will be referred to as a "Basket". 84. the Rule of Big Eggs: Once you have gained 100 Eggs, you lose all your Eggs and get one Big Egg. Each Big Egg is worth 100 Eggs. Receiving Eggs 9. Ene’s First Rule: one way for points to be given should be by awarding them to people based on rules of theirs that go into effect, three per rule. 16. Voidus’ Law of Unfair Advantage: All those who support this rule shall gain two points for every point that is gained by someone who did not support this rule. 22. MiToRo's Rule of Forgiveness: Whenever a player has negative points, that player may post an apology - no shorter than 3 full sentences, and unique to each other player - to other players in order to regain 1 point per apology. 23. Reputation Points Rule: For each reputation awarded to a post, that poster gains 10 points. (Overruled by moderator intervention.) 24. Everyone Is A Winner Rule: Any time a proposal - new rule, amendment, removal, or any other rule adjustment - gains unanimous support, the proposer gains 10 points, while the first 2 supporters (after the original proposer) gain 5 points. Unanimous support here means that all players vote in favor of the rule until the rule goes into effect; once the rule would go into effect, future voters who vote against it will not affect the points given by this rule. 34. Participation Eggs: Once per 24 hour period, if a player makes a post and votes on all current proposals as well as submits at least one new proposal, that player gains 25 Eggs. 38. Duel of Awww: Any player may challenge another player to a Duel of Awww, along with a bet amount. The challenger may bet any number of Eggs up to the current total Eggs held by the lesser of the two players; if one or both players has 0 Eggs, the bet is automatically set to 10 Eggs. The Duel of Awww begins once the challenged player accepts the duel in a new post. The public (all other players not participating in the duel) votes on which of the two duelers has the better animal picture - as per rule 15 - based on any arbitrary qualifications they would like. The animal pictures used for the duel will be the ones posted in the challenge post and the acceptance post, and must have both been a picture taken/drawn/created by the respective dueler. Once a majority vote has been reached, the winner gains the bet amount in Eggs and the loser loses the same amount, unless the loser has fewer Eggs - in the case of starting with 0 points - then the loser goes to 0 total Eggs while the winner gains 10 Eggs. 41. The Spikes Rule: Spiking newcomers in the Intro thread gives the spiker 100 points. This rule applies retroactively. 45. The Maybe A Rule So We Can Actually Start Earning Eggs? Rule: At any time, any group of players (at least 2) may compete in any game available to them (whether online or in person, as long as it can be verified). Examples include, but are not limited to, a game of chess, a pokemon battle, a footrace around the world, etc... Upon completion of the game, the winner gains a number of Eggs equal to 100 x the number of other players (i.e. the winner gains 100 Eggs if the game was only between two players), and the losers lose 100 Eggs each, unless a different amount was specified in a challenge post to initiate the game. In the case of a tie, the following occurs: if all players tie for the win, no Eggs are gained or lost; if some but not all participating players tie for the win, each winner gains a number of Eggs equal to 100 x the number of losers / the number of winners, and each loser still loses 100 Eggs. 68. Voidus' Rule of Things: If a player posts the word 'things' in any post (Editing it in does not count) then they are to be awarded 20 Eggs. However if someone quotes said post and says 'and stuff' then the original player loses 10 Eggs, does not gain any Eggs that they would otherwise gain, and the player who quoted them gains 10 Eggs. 87. The Rule of Egg Puns: If someone makes an egg pun that is deemed valid, funny, and relevant by three people besides the poster of said egg pun, that poster will be awarded 46 Eggs. Losing Eggs 21. MiToRo's Rule of Punishment: Any post that breaks a rule that has been in effect for longer than 15 minutes - to give time for those who have simply not refreshed their page - shall cause that poster to lose 10 points. 35. Non-Participation Eggs: In any 24 hour period, if any player makes more than one post that does not include votes on all current proposals, that player loses 25 Eggs per post after their first without necessary votes. Section 5: Coolness Levels 13. Second Law of Dapper: Every ten Eggs you get your Coolness Level goes up by one. 14. Third Law of Dapper: Each Coolness Level make you cooler. Section 6: General Rules 17. Voidus' Rule of Potential Karmic Retribution: Should a player propose a rule to change the name of 'points', that player is to be referred to by the name they suggest changing points to, until such a time as the rule is adopted. 19. The Rule for Meta’s Sanity: that Voidus be unable to edit posts in the thread for his own benefit, under threat of immediately losing the game; and that Rule 16 shall be considered irrevocably immoral and unimplementable, from now and in perpetuity, and that should it be passed Voidus will immediately lose the game. 28. The Act that Concerns the Frequency of Turns (or ACFT): as stated by the Main Idea, you may only create new rules or amendments on your turn. You may only take a turn if two other people have taken their turn between now and your most previous turn, or if you have not taken your turn in over 24 hours. You do not have to propose a rule on your turn (unless otherwise indicated, eg by Meta’s Clause). 30. The Rule that Says You’ve Lost the Game (or RSYLG): every player must lose the Game at least once every ten turns. Other players are morally obligated to remind players when this requirement due. To announce the fact that you have lost the Game, say in a post during which you have taken your turn, “I have lost the Game.” Section 7: UNO 25. The UNO Rule. If at any time, a post violates the rules, someone must point it out by quoting the post and saying ‘UNO!’ in order to implement any Egg changes or changes in game state - ie cheating in and of itself does not trigger any rules, but instead someone has to point it out. There is no time limit on UNO. Section 8: Gameboard 29. The Chessboard Rule: there exists a standard chessboard, originally starting as the starting piece positions for white and black. Each player may elect one piece on the board as theirs - during their turn, they may move their piece as per the standard rules of chess. Checking a piece (checks being defined as per standard chess rules) which is controlled by another player (the ‘recipient’) gains the moving player 100 points, and loses the recipient 100 points. Mutual checks provide no point increase or deduction for either side. Section 9: Democracy 31. The Beginnings of Democracy: We have a poll and whoever gets the most votes is the president, who gets the ability to give up to 50 points to anyone but themselves. 36. The French Law: at any time, a member of the ‘public’ (ie a non-presidential person) may declare a vote to overthrow the president. If a majority vote is attained, the person who started the poll becomes the new president in the place of the old one. Section 10: Joining and Leaving the Game 37. Fair Start: Any new player who starts the game after this point will begin with a number of Eggs equal to the player with the next lowest amount of Eggs - this could still be 0. 55. The Last Will and Testament: If any player wishes to leave the game, they may do so freely. In doing so, they may select another current player to receive all of the retiring player's Eggs (only a positive number of Eggs may be given), or choose to allow the Eggs to expire without going to anyone else. Section 11: Role-Playing 73. Voidus' Ultimatum of Doom! (Also known as: Everything is RP): All players shall create a character sheet containing basic details for a character that shall represent the player in a collaborative RP. Every post that a player makes in-character for the character represented by the character sheet shall earn that player 1 point. Section 12: Wandering Merchants 91. The Wandering Merchant Exception has the following clauses: A player posting for the first time in the thread "Nomic - A Forum Game" [hereafter referred to as the Thread] is considered a "Wandering Merchant." After their first post, a player must not post at all in the Thread for no less than 24 hours or until two new pages have been added since that player posted previously. A player is only considered a Wandering Merchant for that singular post; any subsequent posts by that player in the Thread will remove the Wandering Merchant modifier if they do not meet the spacing requirements. Wandering Merchants are exempt from punishments or restrictions exacted by rules. This prevents new players from immediately becoming invalidated. Attempts to infringe on the speech, expression, or influence of a Wandering Merchant by any player is rendered null and void. Wandering Merchants have the ability to grant Side Quests to a specific player. Wandering Merchants have a limit of one Side Quest per post. Side Quests award the chosen player an amount of Eggs upon completion. 92. Wandering Merchant Neutrality Act: That Wandering Merchants are unable to call UNO or attempt to punish any other player while a Wandering Merchant. Ballot (ONLY THESE PROPOSALS CAN BE VOTED ON) Spoiler 51. The PM of Productivity: Same thing (in reference to Rule 47), but with a PM. I'm fine there being a President of the PM also. (3) 57. New Rule Proposal: MiToRo wins! If this rule is put into effect, MiToRo immediately gains 1 million Eggs and wins. (3) 60. The Proposal Proposal: If a player has ever been married or engaged, including in a roleplay, that player gets one Egg every time they lose any amount of Eggs. (3) 63. Meta’s Clause Removal: That Meta’s Clause should be removed from the rules and no longer be in effect. (3) 67. Jaywalk’s First Declaration: that we make porpoises the mascot of this thread. (3) 78. The Fonz Rule: Every ten levels of coolness you reach you must post a quote from Henry Winkler. (3) 83. Rule of players: To be considered a player, you must be following this thread (3) 88. The Continuation of Democracy: under this law, the Players will be split into roughly equal parts( groups decided by the president). When voting, group 1 votes, then if it passes, group 2 votes, then if it passes then, the president must pass or veto it. If it is vetoed, the it goes back to the beginning, and must gain a unanimous vote in the first two sections, if not, then it must be proposed again. If it fails in stage one or two, it fails and must be proposed again. (3) 93. The superior terminology act: the plural form of Egg is Eggs or Eggses; 12 Eggses is a carton; a player is a citizen; a rule is a law. (3) 95. The Corporations Rule: That a group players may agree to form a corporation under a name, and that upon the forming of said corporation the amount of Eggs that each person in the corporation (hereafter referred to as a ‘member’) has (be it positive or negative) is pooled into one shared sum (hereafter referred to as the Bank Balance). If a member chooses to leave a corporation, they receive ( S x n^(-1) ) Eggs (where S is the number of Eggs in the Bank Balance and n is the number of members) - this means that if everyone chooses to leave all at once they will all receive an equal amount of eggs. Any changes to a member’s Egg amount is instead applied to the corporation’s Bank Balance. A member may join a corporation after it has been formed if they receive the approval to join from a majority of the corporation’s members. (3) 96. law of people who obsessively correct other's grammar: if a Player uses incorrect grammar, they lose 10 Eggs and the person who points out the mistake gains 10 Eggs (2) 100. the Amended Sanity Rule: That Rule 16 be removed from effect, and that any effects to egg balances caused by the rule (ie increases, decreases, transfers, or any other changes in egg state that the rule allowed or caused) shall be revoked, overruled and undone retroactively, so the game can be fair. This rule supersedes all other rules (lest players despair). (3) 94. The Let Fate Decide Rule: If a player is accused of violating a rule, they can call a correctness check. Both players roll a d20. If one of the two players originally proposed the rule in question, they get a +2 modifier. For every 3 rules in the current rule book that a player originally proposed, they get +1 to their score, however this is only to a maximum of +3. The higher total score wins. The supposed rule violater loses 30 eggs as well as any they would of lost for the rule the originally violated if they lose the roll. The challenger will lose 35 eggs if they lose the roll. (2) 97. The Wandering Commerce Addendum. According to the Trading Rule (Rule 8), players may exchange points/Eggs for goods and services, or simply gift points. Due to the nature of the Merchants Guild, it is only appropriate that Merchants have a particular obligation to the act of buying and selling. Thus, the Wandering Commerce Addendum: Wandering Merchants can post consecutively without losing the status of Wandering Merchant if the following posts pertain only to the selling of the Merchant's wares. This allows for players to bargain and counteroffer with the Merchant appropriately. Bears. (2) 98. The Merchants Guild Act creates an official institution comprising of Wandering Merchants and offers a medium through which the goals of the collective Merchants may be accomplished. (2) Other Proposals (in order of time seconded, then time proposed): Spoiler 99. rule 97, The forgotten naming scheme: All points shall henceforth be called "stygian drops" or "drops". 10 drops will be called a "forgetful water balloon" or "water balloon". 100 drops will be called a puddle. (2) 102. The Rule of Locations: That the Gameboard be divided into four equal regions, considered ‘top-left’ (everything north and west of d5), ‘top-right’ (everything north and east of e5), ‘bottom-left’ (everything south and west of d4) and ‘bottom-right’ (everything south and east of e4), and that these locations shall correspond to the following places in the RP: a field, forest, river, and a village respectively. In order to be in a place in the RP (and take part in discussions in said places, etc.) you must have a piece on the board in these locations. In addition, every location created in the RP must have a position on the Gameboard. (2) 101. the Monopoly rule: This causes our chess board to become a confusing, dice less monopoly board. Each square of the chess/monopoly board will have a property value to be determined after the rule is enacted... I’m sorry I couldn’t think of anything besides Chessopoly. (2) 105: The Rule of Zwei #2: Zwei is an NPC in the roleplay. (2) 103. The Rule of Pieces: Every player must have a piece on the board. If you choose, you may place a non-chess piece which has the same movement abilities of a king (known as a ‘checker’) on the board as close as possible to the centre in a region of your choosing (prioritising north, east, south and then west directionally if their is ambiguity in possible placements). Multiple checkers may stack upon each other, but no checker may share a square with a chess piece (ie move to a chess-filled square, or have a chess piece move to a checker-filled square - this does mean that checkers ‘block’ moves through that square even if the move does not end on that square) and checkers may not check or be checked. A player may discard their checker for a chess piece at any time of their choosing, but may not do the reverse. (1) 104. The Rule of Zwei: (barking). (1) 106. I propose that everyone give me one egg. I call this the One Egg Tax for Bit Propsal. (1) 107. I propose that everyone should give me some eggs.(1) proposed amendments Spoiler * That the Winning Rule be ammended so that the authors of this and the next two posts directly after it be the winners. (2) * I would like to amend my own rule (16. Voidus’ Law of Unfair Advantage) to addend the following: No rule or ammendment may be passed or voted on if that rule would alter any part of Voidus’ Law of Unfair Advantage or punish those who have voted in favour of Voidus' Law of Unfair Advantage. And no person who has only conditionally voted in favour of Voidus’ Law of Unfair Advantage shall count as having voted for it, except for the purposes of passing the rule. (1) * amendment to 15: You must use a picture different from every picture you've used so far. The Internet is big, there are enough. (2) * amendment to the winning rule. Along with having 1 million points, having -1 million points also makes you win. (3) * yet another amendment to Rule 15: Humans do not count as animals for the sake of this rule. (1) * an amendment (to Rule 96): Different spelling due to living in different countries, where that spelling is right - i.e. all y'all's crazy U's everywhere and using S instead of Z sometimes - won't be counted. None of us want to go down that rabbird hole. (2) * the amendment (to Rule 96) of the Oxford comma: the oxford comma must be used. (2) failed rules Spoiler 26. The Self Punishment Act: If a player breaks a rule, they will be able to decide what their punishment is. (2) 40. The Taxation Rule: The US tax code applies in its entirety to all points gained in whatever manner. (2) 42. The Rule of Exceptions: that rules that are multiples of 1, 2, 4, and 8 are exempt from rules that are multiples of 3. (1) 47. The Discord of Disputes: In order to prevent this thread from being over-cluttered with meta-discussion (i.e. discussion about the game in a meta sense, not about the player, MetaTerminal), we should have a Discord channel for all meta-discussion. This channel should be completely exempt from all rules in order to allow for unrestricted discussion and quick resolutions to any disputes. If the players would like separate channels for other discussion (e.g. off-topic, new rule ideas without actually submitting them, commenting on particularly dramatic happenings within the game without cluttering up this thread, etc...) that will be allowed. This Discord channel would also be an good place to have easy access to a pinned list of all currently active rules and proposals. (2) 48. The President of Discord: In the event that we have a Discord channel and we have an elected president as per rule 31, the President will be in charge of keeping the Discord up to date. (1) 49. Dapper Anti Rule 15Act: Anyone who posts a photo in relation to rule 15 loses all their Coolness Levels and 6 pounds of Eggs. (1) 52. The Internal Consistency Plea: that the Literal Rule be rephrased as “All things, including rules, can be interpreted literally or metaphorically - as they were assumed to be intended - so long as it makes sense; and that any associated implications of the rule not explicitly stated should also be interpreted as true - this includes taking the spirit of a rule, even if the actual letter of the rule differs slightly due to a small technicality. This plea applies retroactively.” (2) 53. The not internally consistent rule: No rules have to be consistent with anything. Even themselves. (1) 61. The Following Proposal: From here on out, winning is actually bad. (2) 65. Don't Leave the Eggs to Spoil: At the end of each 24 hour period - to be established at midnight EDT for consistency - if none of the players have earned any Eggs (defined as a net positive gain of Eggs for any one player) during those 24 hours (not including Eggs earned from this rule as of the previous 24 hour period), then all players immediately earn 1000 points. (2) 66. Ene’s Fourth Rule: that porpoises be banned from this thread. (2) 69. Rule of Voting: Everyone who participates in the game must vote on at least five waiting proposals. We need to move some of these along! (2) 74. Macthorsten's government increase of efficiency proposal: This vote only needs the support of one other person to be passed. (Note from Meta: this is superseded by the Voting Clause.) The first person to support this rule besides me (note from Meta: this is Meta) gets the ability to cut any number of the rules on the waiting list in a one time purge. (2) 75. Silverblade’s First Law: that we remove voting and give all power to an undefined group of players. 80. The Accidentally Copied Rule of Losing: The first person to win The Game (fairly, without any hacks) wins. 81. The rule of losing: The first person to win The Game (fairly, without any hacks) wins. (2) 82. The rule of indefinitism: The only to win is by preforming actions necessary to win as the rule of losing declares (1) 89. The Relevancy Rule: Relevant xkcd’s are expressly forbidden on this thread. (2) 90. O Great One, Leader of Us All’s First Rule: That the point system ‘Eggs’ should be referred to as ‘O Great One, Leader of Us All’ (1) Edited April 30, 2019 by I am a stick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a rule against it. I propose the Rule of Time, then dismiss it by eating a lime. (Yum.) 222 + participation eggs + RP egg = 248 eggs. Spoiler AE sighed. It'd been a long time since she'd been roleplayed. I admonished her not to break the fourth wall. I offered to collect character sheets, didn't I? I'll do that now. Character Sheets: Spoiler I think I am here.: Spoiler Name: The one who might exist (TWOME or Twome for short.) Abilities: Whenever somebody isn’t directly thinking he exists, he stops existing altogether. One must again observe and/or measure his presence causing him to collapse back into reality. He can use this for a variety of uses. Weakness: Occasionally doesn’t exist. The above abilities are incredibly exhausting. Age: He’s been low-key existing off-and-on for about 300,000 years. He’s quite young for his species. Physical: Appears different to each person who perceived him differently. Like how different people imagine a written character differently, he appears different to each observer, the only things that stay the same is a blue baseball cap and a generally Australian accent. Home world: The mythical non-existence of Australia. AonEne: Spoiler Name: AE Pine Abilities: Can award others eggs, due to being the president. Is skilled at fighting with letters and words, both verbally and physically. Has a voice in her head (me) who can give her helpful advice. Weaknesses: Aeful (okay this was a typo of awful but I enjoy the pun so it stays) memory; constantly referencing Meta's lists. Bad at math. Has a voice in her head (me) who can distract her and be cryptic. Appearance: Looks about sixteen, but in reality, she's actually sixteen. Black hair that falls to her shoulders. Black glasses. Black...dark brown eyes. Usually wears t-shirts and always wears jeans. Ethnically half-Sharder (father's side), half Google Driveese (mother). Note: I will be posting RP in spoiler tags unless we decide on some other way to do it. It'll be from the perspective of both AE and myself at once, with me in 1p and her in 3p. Dialogue from me is generally underlined. Hemalurgic Headshot: Spoiler Name: Mog Abilities: Mog has many connections with people as a virtue of his travels. Normally he sells them things. Sometimes they sell him things. Weaknesses: These aren't important. Appearance: Mog is probably middle-aged, evidenced by the gray hairs popping up around his temples. There are creases around his green-gray eyes from smiling. He wears a well-tended cloak with a useful number of pockets. EVERYONE ELSE MUST SUBMIT A PROFILE, ACCORDING TO THE RULES. Also, Meta, are we just...keeping the poll up forever, or until I lose, or something? I've been winning, and I think it's been long enough to declare an end.
