Mutable Rules 201. Players shall alternate in clockwise order, taking one whole turn apiece. Turns may not be skipped or passed, and parts of turns may not be omitted. All players begin with zero points. In mail and computer games, players shall alternate in alphabetical order by surname. * 202. One turn consists of two parts in this order: (1) proposing one rule-change and having it voted on, and (2) throwing one die once and adding the number of points on its face to one's score. In mail and computer games, instead of throwing a die, players subtract 291 from the ordinal number of their proposal and multiply the result by the fraction of favorable votes it received, rounded to the nearest integer. (This yields a number between 0 and 10 for the first player, with the upper limit increasing by one each turn; more points are awarded for more popular proposals.) * 203. A rule-change is adopted if and only if the vote is unanimous among the eligible voters. If this rule is not amended by the end of the second complete circuit of turns, it automatically changes to require only a simple majority. * 204. If and when rule-changes can be adopted without unanimity, the players who vote against winning proposals shall receive 10 points each. * 205. An adopted rule-change takes full effect at the moment of the completion of the vote that adopted it. * 206. When a proposed rule-change is defeated, the player who proposed it loses 10 points. * 207. Each player always has exactly one vote. * 208. The winner is the first player to achieve 100 (positive) points. In mail and computer games, the winner is the first player to achieve 200 (positive) points. * 209. At no time may there be more than 25 mutable rules. * 210. Players may not conspire or consult on the making of future rule-changes unless they are team-mates. The first paragraph of this rule does not apply to games by mail or computer. * 211. If two or more mutable rules conflict with one another, or if two or more immutable rules conflict with one another, then the rule with the lowest ordinal number takes precedence. If at least one of the rules in conflict explicitly says of itself that it defers to another rule (or type of rule) or takes precedence over another rule (or type of rule), then such provisions shall supersede the numerical method for determining precedence. If two or more rules claim to take precedence over one another or to defer to one another, then the numerical method again governs. * 212. If players disagree about the legality of a move or the interpretation or application of a rule, then the player preceding the one moving is to be the Judge and decide the question. Disagreement for the purposes of this rule may be created by the insistence of any player. This process is called invoking Judgment. When Judgment has been invoked, the next player may not begin his or her turn without the consent of a majority of the other players. The Judge's Judgment may be overruled only by a unanimous vote of the other players taken before the next turn is begun. If a Judge's Judgment is overruled, then the player preceding the Judge in the playing order becomes the new Judge for the question, and so on, except that no player is to be Judge during his or her own turn or during the turn of a team-mate. Unless a Judge is overruled, one Judge settles all questions arising from the game until the next turn is begun, including questions as to his or her own legitimacy and jurisdiction as Judge. New Judges are not bound by the decisions of old Judges. New Judges may, however, settle only those questions on which the players currently disagree and that affect the completion of the turn in which Judgment was invoked. All decisions by Judges shall be in accordance with all the rules then in effect; but when the rules are silent, inconsistent, or unclear on the point at issue, then the Judge shall consider game-custom and the spirit of the game before applying other standards. * 213. If the rules are changed so that further play is impossible, or if the legality of a move cannot be determined with finality, or if by the Judge's best reasoning, not overruled, a move appears equally legal and illegal, then the first player unable to complete a turn is the winner. This rule takes precedence over every other rule determining the winner. * |

301 1) In this game of Nomic, there is a game relevant concept known as currency. 2) All current currency will always be tracked in the appropriate Nomic scoreboard. 3) Points are a unit of currency. 4) If a player becomes inactive, and later returns to the game, they retain their currency. 5) Currency may be transferred to another player. The procedure to do this is as follows: A) Transfers must clearly state the recipient, the quantity of the transfer (including the type of currency being transfered), and optionally a condition for that player’s vote. If there is a condition specified in the transfer, it may only be dependent on the final vote cast by the recipient for the current turn (e.g. “I transfer 3 points to asudevil”). B) The quantity of the transfer must be a positive integer between 1 and 10, inclusive. C) The unit of the transfer must be a unit defined in this game by a current rule. D) A player may make at most two transfers during a turn. E) For each unit of currency, the sum of all transfers made during a turn must be less than or equal to the number of units of that currency the player had at the start of the turn. . F) Once posted, a transfer may not be withdrawn. G) Transfers will be processed at the end of the current turn. |

303. When a player meets the conditions that constitute winning, the game does not end. Instead, the game restarts with the current rules. |
