Nomic is a game where the players make up the rules.
Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game. The primary activity of Nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed. (Peter Suber, The Paradox of Self-Amendment, Appendix 3, p. 362)
With that said. I am looking for players for a game of Nomic I am running. I hope advertising this won't be frowned upon, but honestly this group is people is probably the most intelluctually diverse group available and there's bound to be someone who might be interested.
So, check in at BoredNomic, read the rules, tell me if you might be interested.
I can only hope.

So you're saying that, because something is more well known, that automatically makes it the original?plasticwingsband wrote:uh i played calvinball like 7 years ago
and i just heard of nomic right now
nomic is a type of calvinball
[And on that matter, I had never heard of Calvinball until reading about it on Wikipedia.]
In addition, the rules of Nomic were first published in 1982. You find the first strip Calvinball appeared in and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Countdown from 9 to 5; horray! We're gonna die!
This threatens the negligible mental stability I have to come crashing down in a fit of fury and disarray.
I'm in.
[I'm going to be away for three/four days later this month... is that going to be a problem?]

I was fighting between two possibly responses:Double-S- wrote:The fact that you never heard of Calvinball before discredits everything you say.
"The fact that you are from Texas discredits everything you say."
or
"Insulting others is beneath me."
I tossed out the first one because I believed it was too mean-spirited, and tossed out the latter because I thought it sounded too arrogant.
