- These are the rules of PCamp Nomic. Every player must obey them. The rules can only be changed when permitted by a rule.
- Every person who registers for an account on this blog is a player.
- Every player has a score. This score begins at 0. All scores are publicly tracked by the administrator.
- At any time, any player may propose one and only one change to the game, only if he or she has no other pending proposal. If the player has a pending proposal, he or she may not make a new proposal until the pending proposal has been evaluated by the admin. To make a new proposal, create a new post on the blog. The posts on the blog homepage form the change queue.
- All players may vote on any queued change. To do this, add a comment to the post for that change, and write AYE or NAY as the first word of your comment. You may vote on each change only once.
- One time per day, the game administrator will take all suggestions that are in the change queue and count up the AYEs and the NAYs. If there are more AYEs than NAYs, the rule (or rule-change) will be added to the rules of PCamp Nomic.
- The proposer of a rule will gain two points when it is evaluated. In addition, if the change is accepted, the administrator will roll a six-sided dice. The administrator will then add the number of points that come up on the dice to the score of that rule’s proposer.
- [There is no rule 8. It was combined with rule 7]
- If players disagree about the legality of a move, a judge shall be selected at random from among the players to resolve the issue. This judge’s decision is final.
- The first player to 50 points is the winner.
- Every 5 rounds the players elect the game administrator by majority vote. Every player has as many votes as she has points on the scoreboard. Every player has the right to nominate another player, players cannot nominate themselves. Nomination can be done by a blog post. A nomination of another player will be rewarded by 2 points. Elected new game administrators can reject their election, in this case the player with the second most votes will be elected. If no other player has been suggested, the current game administrator continues for another 5 rounds .
