Not prejudicing the possibility of following this ruleset, I've always
been curious to play a nomic from one of those extremely small rulesets.
Of course, minimal rulesets need care when done online, as they need
careful consideration when using randomness (because properly defining how
to do it could make the ruleset “unminimal”) or maybe even ordering
(because you'd need to define criteria not based on physical location
of players), etc.
Here's a ruleset I wrote without thinking too much about it:
{
This is a game played over email over the list <insert list> and has
the following rules:
1. Any player may at any time propose any change to the rules in a message, but
only if no other proposals have been made in the past 24 hours.
2. Any player may vote for or against on any proposed change between the time
the message was sent and 24 hours later.
3. A proposal is adopted 24 hours after it is proposed if it has more votes for
it than against it.
4. The player are the people that control the following email addresses:
<insert email addresses>
}
Idk, might be fun.
