Round 5/Final Ruleset

Global Rules

Rule 1: Becoming a member

Each player begins the game as a member of the world and as a member of one nation. Players must obey the global rule-set as well as their nation's rule-set.

Rule 2: Joining the game

If a player is not a member of the Red, Blue or Yellow nation, they may join a nation by having an administrator of this game witness them stating their intent to do so. The administrator shall then randomly assign that player to a nation that does not already contain more than 1/3 of the world's members.

Rule 3: Three nations

There are three nations: Red, Yellow, and Blue.

Rule 4: Winning the game

"When a nation a masses 1000 Victory Points or more, the nation with the most points wins the game collectively."

Rule 5: Meta - points and winning, conflicting rules

Only rules in the global rule-set (this rule-set), may define win conditions or deal with Global Credits or Victory Points. If a rule in the global rule-set conflicts with a rule in a local rule-set, the global rule takes priority.

Rule 6: Proposing

A proposal is a document that is publicly accessible, clearly intended to be part of the game of Infinite Nomic, and is clearly labeled as a proposal. The previous notwithstanding, a document that is clearly intended to be a proposal under a Local Ruleset is not a proposal under this ruleset.

When a proposal is passed, the changes to the game-state specified within that proposal take effect. For clarity, a proposal that simply declares something without specifying how the gamestate is altered has no effect. As an example, a proposal that states "Voting is illegal." or "Proposals cannot kill people" has no effect, as they do not specify any changes to the gamestate.

When more than two-thids of players vote in favor of a proposal, that proposal is passed.

For the purposes of Rule 5, proposals are a method to make changes to the Global Ruleset.

Rule 7: Gaining points

Each time a global rule-change is passed, an administrator shall roll one six-sided die for each nation and each nation gains the respective amount of points.

Rule 8: Voting

If this proposal is passed, a die shall be rolled to assign each nation to one of the three territories on the map.

Rule 14: Retracting proposals
