Editing Round 9/History (section)

== The First Day (3 Jan 2021) ==

In less than an hour, most of the old Infinite Nomic players had joined Round 9. Almost immediately, proposals started rolling in. Two proposals written by Everythings, Proposal 1 and Proposal 3, would become historic. Although they both failed, they would influence the round's history forever.

{{Proposal Box
|name=1
|text=
<nowiki>==How to win the game==</nowiki><br>
Every player starts the game with a duck. You win the game if you control more than 50% of all ducks.
}}

{{Proposal Box
|name=3
|text=
<nowiki>==Ducks==</nowiki><br>
You need to name your duck. If you take any actions regarding the duck, you need to use the name.
}}

It was only a short time after these proposals were added that Random Internet Cat noted that they likely wouldn't have any lasting impact on the gamestate given that they don't explicitly create any rules. Everythings subsequently left the round, citing Round 9 as "too rules lawyery<ref>https://discord.com/channels/515560801394753537/518856008605499402/795384449796931615</ref>." When Everythings left the game, [[User:CodeTriangle|Trungle]] reproposed the Ducks rule in correct form in Proposal 🦆, which was further refined by [idle account] in Proposal 🦆 🦆.

{{Proposal Box
|name=🦆
|text=
Enact a rule entitled "Ducks":
:Upon joining the game, a duck is created in the possession of each player. Players may assign a name to their duck in #game-actions and cannot perform any duck-related actions until they do so.

Create a duck in the possession of all current players as of this proposal's passing.
}}

{{Proposal Box
|name=🦆 🦆
|text=
Amend rule "Ducks" so that it reads:<br>
:Upon joining the game, a duck is created in the possession of each player. Players may give any duck they own a name in #game-actions. Players may not interact with unnamed ducks in any way except to give them a name, and any reference to ducks outside this rule refers only to named ducks unless otherwise specified.
}}

Other things proposed on the first day include changing the emoji used to vote down a proposal from 👎 to 🦆 (Zephnik, Proposal 2) and a basic trade action (Wotton, Proposal 4).
