Oh wow!! This sounds like awesome amounts of fun!!

It's a variant of Nomic (A game which I'd never heard of before today, but it sounds fun in itself. I wonder if I could find people to play at a convention some time; it sounds much more fun than Werewolf!) run on online on a listserv. Check out this excerpt from the website:

This Nomic variant might just be the most intriguing game you will ever find on the net. Coupling creativity and cooperation with logic and deviousness, the players compete to be the last one to submit a valid rule. Rules are valid if they are consistent with themselves, all previous valid rules and a fixed set of regular ordinances. Every new round starts off using just these few regular ordinances, thus prohibiting the ruleset from growing beyond control.

It seems to be an exercise in logic and rule-creation and hair splitting with absolutely no point but the sheer enjoyment of it. Here's a way I can exercise my love of pedantics without pissing anyone off! I think I'll watch the game for a bit and maybe join in the next round.

(It's a quiet Friday here. I'm enjoying it while I can...)

Oooh; and this is an awesome concept!
