Line 1:

Write your initial ruleset ideas for Round 10 here. We can then make a poll in #announcements to pick one of them and write a draft.

== Baba is Nomic ==

Clearly the best idea so far and all other ideas are inferior (objectively). Listed first because you can just read this idea and skip all of the rest, I'm saving you the trouble. You're welcome.

~~== Modal Realms ==~~

~~This is a casual, sandbox-ish long-term round intended to be played alongside other, shorter rounds.~~

Each player starts with one Realm. The metaverse where all realms are located has a ruleset that is binding for all realms, but is difficult to change. The metaverse ruleset defines some entities and rules for interaction between realms.

Each realm has its own ruleset, which is nothing more than a list of all non-metaverse rules that apply to it. Initially, each player has total authority over their own realm and can instantly add or remove any rules they like. Players are encouraged to create rules that restrict their power over their own realm (such as allowing anyone who becomes a 'citizen' in the realm to vote on proposals), so that they can barter with other players, and then potentially gain influence over other players' realms.

An entity may only interact with another entity if it's in a realm that has the required connection to the other entity's realm. Two realms are connected if both of them specify that the connection exists. Connections need not be symmetrical and some may even be transitive. Some connections may relate to the applicability of some rules. All realms connect to themselves by default.

~~The goal is for players to build a complex metaverse where everyone has a vested interest in the economy, ruleset and stability of each realm.~~

== Rounds with different time frames ==

One idea that i think would be super interesting to try out is either a nomic that is meant to progress extremely quickly or one that lasts only hours.

=== Long Round ===

* Plant theme? Players get trees which grow 1 centimeter a week?

* Can call it Round Infinity or something quirky like that.

* Definitely intended to run in the background of every other round.

=== Short Round ===

[https://discord.com/channels/515560801394753537/518856008605499402/840293464506630144 original discussion]

* Choose a range of hours between which everyone can participate

* "10 hour round 10" is thematic but maybe impractical: still want it to be short enough that it can be played in one sitting

* Mechanical ideas in case this is a hard sell:

** Definitely want win condition baked into the initial ruleset because we won't have time to create one and work towards it

*** Furthermore, this should be a "most points at the end" condition so that the game can have a specified length

** Game can work on an hourly clock. i.e. proposals written in hour ''n'' are voted on in hour ''n''+1

** Allow players to pick teams? Having people discuss the ruleset with small groups may lead to better strategizing and more importantly better scamming

** Release the ruleset and send the call for teams long before the round actually starts so that people have time to make plans
