The main idea is that there is that every [period of time] things get reset. My intention is for Leaderboards to be the primary method of gaining important permanent materials (such as Orbs) and to be a method of gaining useful non-permanent items for the next loop, but I am not a majority of players.

=== Loops ===
Any person may become a player by posting a message setting forth their intent to do so in the channel #game-actions, provided they have not been a player at any point in the past seven days. A player may cease being a player by sending a message that sets forth their intent to do so in #game-actions.
Every [period of time], every rule that is not persistent is deleted, and all items that are not persistent are removed from inventories. Rules and entities that are not persistent can be said to be ephemeral.


== [*] Loops ==
=== Leaderboards ===
Every [period of time], the following occur in order:
* All rules that are not epochal are simultaneously
* All items that are not defined as epochal by the rules are removed from inventories.

At the beginning of every [period of time], [number] Goals are randomly selected. Each Goal is randomly given a reward from the list of rewards.

At the end of a [period of time] the players that best accomplished a Goal that was selected at he beginning of the [period of time] get the reward selected for that Goal. This occurs ''after'' inventory wipes occur.

Any reputable player may become a candidate for the Judge by sending a message in the channel #judge-elections. If there are any Judge candidacies put forward during a week, the player whose message is both popular and has the most :+1: reactions becomes the Judge once that week ends. A Judge Candidacy message is popular if it has more :+1: than :-1: reactions on its initiating message. Ties are broken in favor of the player with the earliest text message during that week.
