This is an initial draft of a simple Nomic ruleset with some extra rules to define the notion of the state of a model web site. It's not all that clean or technically polished as rulesets go -- I'm more interested in playing with the blog model than with hair-splitting on basic voting mechanisms, etc.
The model of the site and user behavior is also intentionally anemic initially; creating many of the finer details of how sites and users and posts and comments interact seems like the real (potential) meat of playing something like this.
The draft:
1.a THE GAME: there exists a Game, called MefiNomic, described by the following.
1.b THE RULES: there exists a set of Rules, each of which has a unique name and number.
1.c THE PLAYERS: there exists a set of Players, listed in rule 1.d ("PLAYER LIST"), each of whom is a single human participant in the game.
1.d PLAYER LIST: cortex, player2, player3, player4, ...
1.e PROPOSALS: a Proposal is a proposed alteration to the set of Rules. A Player may make a Proposal at any time. If a Proposal is Approved, its alterations to the Rules are put into effect, and is ignored thereafter. If it is Declined, it's alterations are it is ignored thereafter.
1.f PENDING: as long as a Proposal has not been either Approved or Declined, it is Pending. Each Player is allowed one Vote per Proposal, and so long as the Proposal is Pending, a Player may change their Vote.
1.g VOTES: a Player's vote can be any of the following: Yes, No, or Abstain.
1.h APPROVAL: if more than half of the Players have voted Yes on a Proposal, the Proposal is immediately Approved.
1.i DECLINATION: if more than half of the Players have voted No on a Proposal, the Proposal is immediately Declined.
1.j COMMENTARY: there may exist, displayed adjascent to the Rules, text called Commentary, which included only and all text on a line preceded by the characters '###'. Commentary is included for explanatory or organizational purposes only, and has no enforcable effect on the Rules.
2.a SITES: A Site is a thing that can contain Posts, Comments and Users.
