Becoming a Player

Any person can become a player by adding their name to the 'Players' section of the game. Any person can make themselves cease to be a player by removing their name from that section.

Proposing

Any person can make a Proposal in the Proposals section. If it has more FOR votes than AGAINST votes after 30 days have passed (720 hours), then any player can apply the Proposal's effects, then delete the Proposal. A Proposal's author can delete their own Proposal at any time.

Voting

Players have only one vote on Proposals, which is FOR, AGAINST or PRESENT. Players can edit their vote at any time. A player votes by clearly noting who they are and what they are voting in a reasonable space under the Proposal.

Merit Badges

When a player has every rule-defined merit badge, they should feel good about themselves and other players should praise their hard work and effort.

- If a player has ever written a proposal that passed, then they have the Penmanship merit badge.

Proposals

Establishing Correspondence

Title: Foreign Relations
Author: Trigon
Description: This proposal sets up a PodNomic correspondent for Slownomic.

Create a rule entitled "PodNomic Correspondent" with the text:

Slownomic's PodNomic Correspondent is a position that should be filled by a player of Slownomic. Any Slownomic player can nominate themself for the position by posting a message to this effect in the "Correspondent Election" section of this page. These nominations can be voted on in the same method by proposal, except that they resolve seven days after submission.

Votes:

• Trigon: FOR

Rapid De-Escalation

Title: Rapid De-Escalation
Author: nix

Desc: We must move with extreme speed in order to prevent conflict, therefore I propose a swift judicial system.

{

Any person may write a Statement in the De-Escalation section. Any person may vote TRUE or FALSE, and edit their vote at any time, on any Statement. After 15 days, a Statement is either TRUE or FALSE, whichever has more votes, as long as it does not contradict the rules.

}

Votes:

• G: AGAINST. This judgement system adds a platonic "as long as it does not contradict the rules" for success/failure. But that's an infinite regress if the statement is about what is or isn't against the rules.
• Jason: AGAINST
• ATMunn: AGAINST, this doesn't say to add a new rule
• Wotton: AGAINST, general concerns over paradox-forcing
• Trigon: AGAINST, since I'm an absolute lemming
• nix: FOR, I believe in myself.
