Question - I don't understand what I did wrong.
Modern Diplomacy II Map - I'm Spain, I have a fleet Seville, Sea of Gibraltar, and an army in Gibraltar. The UK has a fleet in Morocco and that's it. Our fleets bounced in the South Atlantic Sea, I attempted to convoy my army from Gibraltar to Algeria... but it failed.. So why did it fail if the other player didn't touch my unit in Gibraltar & the Sea of Gibraltar?

anyone up for a game of nomic?
from wikipedia: "nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. in that respect it differs from almost every other game. the primary activity of nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. even this core of the game, of course, can be changed."

Where was it passed, guak? There was an amendment to a different rule (ten) that added amendments. Is that what you're thinking of?

Proposal: at 12:01 PM CDT tomorrow, nomic players will receive points as follows: players whose ids begin with a,c,e,g, etc. will be designated "odd-lettered players." The remainder will be designated even-lettered players. At 12:01 PM CDT tomorrow, the odd-lettered players will each receive 100 poinz if there were an odd number of posts submitted to the "Truly original thread" / last person to wins thread before 12:01 PM CDT; otherwise, the even-letteredp layers will receive 100 poinz.

31 Jul 14 UTC
@ghug: actually you are right. the vote was stuck at 4 2 and people stopped voting for it. I thought at the time four was majority but we had 8 players. I guess you should all just vote on that amendment that had 4 aye votes on it.

Rules:
1. No dice rolling.
2. First player to accumulate *exactly* 500 nomic pointz wins
3. The winner can only win on a BST weekday.
4. The current players are to be tracked.
5. All proposed new rules, proposed rule changes, or proposed rule deletions require a simple majority (more than half) of those playing, in order to pass - with the proposer automatically presumed to vote in favour unless they state otherwise.
6. Current Players are referred to as Nomic Members.
7. game isn't turn-based.
8. To be a Nomic Member, new players must have backing by at least one Nomic Member.
9. Each Nomic Member may only propose one rule change / amendment / deletion per hour.
10. any rule, amendment or deletion proposal that has not passed or been rejected within 24 hours of being suggested becomes rejected automatically.
11. Only one rule proposal may be open for consideration at any one time. Once a rule proposal has been made, voting on that proposal must be concluded before any other proposal can be made. Furthermore we are resolving the open proposals by a queue, and ghug gets 10 Nomic pointz
12. nomic pointz can be accumulated through +1s on this thread.
13. all Nomic members whose username does not start with a capital letter gain 50 nomic pointz.
14. rules can be queued, but each person is limited to 1 rule in the queue.

Players (12): kasimax, ezra willis, ag7433, Jamiet99uk, semck83, guak, SD, Atrum, squigs44, President Eden, ghug, VashtaNeurotic

Current proposal:
Squigs: Anyone who violates any future rule forfeits all points acquired through +1's and is disqualified from receiving anymore points through +1's
yea: Squigs, ghug
nay: SD, kasi, ag, Vash

Proposal Queue:
ag: Player with highest points gains +501 additional points.
Atrum: I propose that anyone whose points go over the requisite 500 to win, has their points automatically reset to 0.
Semck: at 12:01 PM CDT tomorrow, nomic players will receive points as follows: players whose ids begin with a,c,e,g, etc. will be designated "odd-lettered players." The remainder will be designated even-lettered players. At 12:01 PM CDT tomorrow, the odd-lettered players will each receive 100 pointz if there were an odd number of posts submitted to the "Truly original thread" / last person to wins thread before 12:01 PM CDT; otherwise, the even-lettered players will receive 100 pointz.
Current amendments:

ghug: I purpose that rule eleven be amended to include amendments.
yea: ghug, Squigs, ag, jamiet, atrum, kasi
nay: SD

kasi: the nomic pointz can be accumulated through +1s on this thread, which are to be counted every ten pages. after this counting, new +1s on posts already counted don't affect the game.
yea: kasi, jamiet, atrum
nay: SD, ghug, Squigs

thanks ghug
Squigs44 (273 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
When Semck said done, was that to pass ghug's amendment?? If so, what do we do with Kasi's amendment proposal?? I guess rule 11 would put it in the queue, meaning it would go at the bottom of the queue?? Or at the top??
guak (3381 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
Vote nay on Squigs proposal and nay on ghug's. aye on kasi.

Also, I made a proposal recently (before semck's) that should be added to the queue.
guak (3381 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
My proposal is on p13 and reads as follows:

Any proposed rule or amendment that is redundant will dock all of the proposer's accumulated pointz and give that exact amount to every other player.
Squigs44 (273 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
Since my proposal is getting shot down, I guess I will retract it in order to get the next proposal on the table.

And with that, I say nay to ag's proposal
Squigs44 (273 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
Someone has been +1ing all of ghug's posts... first kasi, then ghug, who is next??
ghug (5068 D(B))
31 Jul 14 UTC
Not all, just some.

Kasi has +2 in several places now too. We need a strong effort of +1s in my favor to save ourselves from the kasithreat.

Well, if my amendment passed, I'd like to propose the following:

Players can form coalitions. Coalitions are groups of players who can win together. The winning condition of a coalition is 1.5 times the sum of the winning conditions of the constituents rounded up to the nearest integer. Coalitions are allowed to add players, disband, and make internal rules of governance. Players in coalitions maintain their individual votes unless otherwise dictated. No coalition may comprise more than half of the players in the game.
Squigs44 (273 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
I think you need a clause in there about how coalitions are formed (such as consent of all of those involved) and how new members are added (such as the coalition has complete rights to govern how a nomic member can join their coalition). If those are added to the proposal I would vote for it (when the time comes).
ghug (5068 D(B))
31 Jul 14 UTC
Alright, altering wording:

Players can form coalitions. Coalitions are groups of players who can win together. The winning condition of a coalition is 1.5 times the sum of the winning conditions of the constituents rounded up to the nearest integer. Coalitions are allowed to add and remove players, disband, and make internal rules of governance. Players in coalitions maintain their individual votes unless otherwise dictated. All members of a potential coalition must consent to its creation and the addition of any future members must come with the consent of the added player. Any addition or removal of a player to or from a coalition must follow any rules the coalition has created to govern additions and removals. A player must forfeit all nomic pointz to his coalition upon joining, as well as any nomic points which might be gained while a member of said coalition. A coalition has the right to redistribute the points of the players upon a player's leaving of the coalition or the coalition's disbandment. No coalition may comprise more than half of the players in the game.
