Proposal: Major Re-Organisation; Please Read!

[Serengaeth]

There has been some discussion regarding the reorganisation of the rules, and questions regarding who can edit the rules of the game. To this end, I have completely rewritten the current rule-set with the following goals in mind:

• Making the rules easier to read.
• Moving the Rules/Player List to a Google Site. https://sites.google.com/site/asimplenomic/
• Creating a way for multiple people to edit the game's current rules and player list.

Rules of the Game

0: All players must play by the rules.

1: Rule 0 may not be changed or removed.

3: All Active players must agree to all changes to existing rules, the addition of new rules and the removal of existing rules.

4: No change to, addition of, of removal of rules may have retro-active effect.

5: A player is defined as any person listed on the list of players.

Procedure of Play

100: All rule-change proposals must be made as new top-level posts to the "A Simple Nomic" Google Group. (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups&hl=en#!forum/a-simple-nomic)

100.1: All rules must have a unique number.

100.2: A rule-change proposal must include the word "Proposal" and the suggested Rule Number in the subject line. The post must be tagged "Proposal".

100.3: The initial text of a rule-change proposal must be in a mono-spaced font.

100.4: Rule-change proposals must also include either an existing or new section title which the rule will be entered under.

100.5: Rule-change proposals that do not meet the requirements described in Rules 2.1-4 are invalid and cannot be passed regardless of votes made for or against them.

Tracking the State of the Game

110: A single list of players, their names and other trackable information is to be maintained on the A Simple Nomic Google Site. (https://sites.google.com/site/asimplenomic/)

110.1: The pages of the Google Site can be edited by players with a rank of C or higher.

111: All players have a Grade represented by a letter of the alphabet.

111.1: The grades range from A to F. The highest grade is A. The lowest grade is F.

111.2: All new players start with a rank of D.

112: All players are considered either "Active" or "Inactive".

112.1: Interacting with the game is defined as proposing, or voting on a rule change.

112.2: Active players become Inactive when they fail to interact with the game for 48 hours.

112.3: Inactive players become Active when the interact with the game.

113: When a player changes from Active to Inactive for any reason their grade is lowered by one step.

If these new rules and changes are okay with the group, then I will put them up and make the relevant folks editors of the Google Site. I think that this should invalidate all the current proposals. I'll proceed accordingly the moment I have everyone's opinions on the matter; everything here is up for discussion but if no major complaints are made I'm going to push this through for the sake of everyone having a better time playing.

What template is in use on the site? Does it track history of changes made? Can we revert a malicious edit?

[Freiheitfreedom]

I agree.

I have given it a generic template and turned on version history. I also added you as an editor. I'm not sure if I can make it so absolutely anyone can edit it... I think there should be some restriction which is why the rules I suggested say that people of a certain rank should be able to edit the site.
