Editing Cycle 15/Getting Started (section)

== Modifying the Game ==
This section, and the next section, can be safely skipped to play the game in Nomic that's going on.

Modifying the game is usually a mostly-democratic process: players propose ideas and ways the game could change, by modifying or adding the specific rules. Other players, including you, are welcome to vote on those changes, using your :+1: and :-1: reactions to the proposal. Usually, if it is well liked/popular, the game then changes after the time for voting is up.

Modifications to the game can happen to any part of the game: this includes how to join the game, the timeframe the game occurs in, the gameplay itself, and conflict resolution. Modifications can even occur to how the game is modified! This is usually to change the process from a democratic process to an oligarchic or dictatorish one, or vice versa. 

For specifics on modifying the game, see the rule "Proposals".
