A game written and run by Jonathan Whiting
Patrick proposed:
I motion that we add a law:
Whereby each person is required to introduce themselves:
Each player is required to write a succinct and clear introduction of themselves upon joining the game. If someone is in the game before this law is enacted, they must retroactively introduce themselves.
Stephen Lavelle Proposed:
I propose the following amendment to law 10, which currently reads:
We require a beneficial dictator at all times. Our beneficial dictator can make a single overriding vote in each turn. When the beneficial dictator excercises this right all other votes on that motion are ignored.
I would wish the final two lines to be removed from it, leaving it as:
We require a beneficial dictator at all times.
Terry Cavanagh Proposed:
Law 14 currently reads:
14: OUR GLORIOUS LEADER
Jonathan Whiting is our beneficial dictator.
I propose the following amendment:
14: OUR GLORIOUS LEADER
Jonathan Whiting is our current beneficial dictator. A new beneficial dictator is elected every turn by popular vote.
Alan Hazelden Proposed:
I propose replacing law 12 in its entirety with the following:
At the end of the game the winner is the citizen who has spent least time serving as beneficial dictator. If multiple citizens tie, a winner is chosen randomly from this group.
Damien Landreau Proposed:
I propose replacing law 13 with this text :
A law regarding a citizen can't be repealed, It can be amend to temporarily deprive the citizen of his right to propose a correction to a law.
Nial Moody Proposed:
Accordingly, I propose the following law:
During the turn it was proposed, a motion may be amended any number of times by the citizen who proposed it. In the following turn citizens will vote on the most recent version of the motion.
Jonathan Whiting Proposed:
I propose a line is added to the end of the text of law 8, Corrections Bureau:
"Motions should be sent with an email subject indicating that it is a proposed correction, and includes a name for the motion that hints towards its contents."
Our laws define the games scope.
Anything not defined or mentioned in our laws is not a part of the game.
Each of our laws has an index. A unique positive integer.
New laws are assigned the lowest available index that is higher than all already in play.
When two of our laws contradict the law with the lower index prevails.
Our game begins at 8pm GMT on Monday 11th July.
Our game ends at 8pm GMT on Friday 29th July.
Our turns last 24 hours.
New turns begin at 8pm GMT on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
When a turn is not in play the game is suspended.
We are the citizens of our game.
Citizens must abide by our laws.
Citizens should act in the spirit of our laws.
An action is a single act made a single citizen.
During a turn citizens submit actions by stating unambigously that they are doing so via the mailing list.
A correction is an addition, repeal or amendment of one of our rules.
A motion is an action taken to propose a single correction.
Our citizens may each submit a single motion during a turn.
In the turn following a motions submission citizens can take an action to vote for or against it.
One vote per citizen per motion.
We require a beneficial dictator at all times.
Our beneficial dictator can make a single overriding vote in each turn.
When the beneficial dictator excercises this right all other votes on that motion are ignored.
At the end of the turn a motion was up for vote the motion will be enacted or discarded.
If the majority of votes are in favour of the motion it is enacted; otherwise the motion is discarded.
At the end of the game we will randomly determine a winner from the remaining citizens.
Citizens are only amongst us whilst a law explicitly describes them.
Traitors should be executed by a motion repealing that law.
Jonathan Whiting is our beneficial dictator.
