Proposal: Calender [Trivial]
Proposals, Calls for Judgment, and other official posts, as well as specific gamestate information, shall be tracked by the BlogNomic blog at http://blogspot.blognomic.com. Any Horde may post to the blog at any time, but may only make official posts to the blog when the ruleset allows it. Posts following the format specified by a rule are considered official posts.
If nobody else has commented on it, an official post may be altered or removed; otherwise this can only be done as allowed by the ruleset. The Admin processing an official post is allowed to append to the post to reflect its new status. Anything appended to a post in this way must be formatted <div class="adminEdit [result]">[data]</div>, where [result] is one of enact, fail, veto, or other.
A non-official post may not through editing of the blog be changed into an official post.
Voting and comments are tracked by backblog, accessible through the link at the bottom of every post.
Specific parts of the Gamestate data shall be tracked by the Generic Nomic Data Tracker at http://kevan.org/generic?nomic=blog. Any Horde may update any Horde's data via the GNDT, whenever the Ruleset permits it.
All updates to the GNDT are logged - if a Horde feels that an alteration goes against the Rules (as they were at the time of the alteration), he or she may simply undo the effects of that alteration. If such an undoing is disputed, a Call for Judgment should be raised.
The Year is tracked in the Blog sidebar and the GNDT. In instances of dispute, the GNDT is offical. It is measured in Years A.E. ("Anno EquitisRegis"). Once per day at midnight GMT the Calendar advances 10 Years.
Periodically the Calendar will advance 1 year. This has no game effect other than to indicate the time until the year increments; the Year is still considered to be what it was at midnight.
Hordes shall be assigned a password for the GNDT when they join the Nomic.
Change rule 10 to:
If a Horde believes that they have achieved the victory conditions for the current Dynasty, they may post a Declaration of Victory to the BlogNomic weblog. At this point, BlogNomic immediately goes into Hiatus, during which no other game actions (including other victory claims) may be taken.
Every Horde may respond to the Declaration of Victory saying whether they regard it as legal or illegal (using the FOR, AGAINST and DEFERENTIAL icons). If more than half of Hordes consider the win legal, then the poster of the Declaration is considered to have officially won the Dynasty - the Dynasty ends. If more than half consider it illegal, however, then the Hiatus ends and the current Dynasty continues. If no clear decision is reached after 24 hours, the Overlord may optionally step in and decide the win's legality.
When a Dynasty has been won, all Hordes' GNDT stats are reset to zero or blank. The Year is reset to 0 A.E. Any Hordes who were idle throughout that Dynasty may be removed from the game, at the Overlord's discretion.
The Hiatus then continues until the new Overlord posts an Ascension Address to the BlogNomic weblog - this should specify the Overlord's chosen theme for the new round, and may optionally include a proclamation that any number of Rules will be repealed (excluding Rules 1-10), and/or that the words "Horde", "Overlord", "Brains", "Year" and “A.E. (Anno EquitisRegis)" will be replaced with new theme-appropriate terms. If the new Overlord chooses not to repeal a rule with number over 10, he/she may also replace any keyword in those rules with a new theme-appropriate term. The remaining rules, after the new Overlord's proclamation, shall be renumbered to keep a sequential progression. The new Overlord may also proclaim at the Ascension Address the veto of any Pending Proposals. The failure of said proposals shall incur no Thaler penalty for the proposer.
Upon posting this Address, and having made the Ruleset changes, the Hiatus period ends and the new Dynasty commences.
Set the Year to 0.
While it isn't always going to be used, it seems useful to a nice clean way to track time passage in the core ruleset other than using RL days.
