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."

"the kasithreat" that sounds awesome.

also, nay on ag's proposal. we can still vote for amendments under the current rules even if a proposal is decided upon, right?

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

Current proposal:
ag: Player with highest points gains +501 additional points.
aye: ag
nay: Squigs


Proposal queue:
Atrum: I propose that anyone whose points go over the requisite 500 to win, has their points automatically reset to 0.
guak: 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.
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.
ghug: 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.

Unresolved amendment from kasi:
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, guak
nay: SD, ghug, Squigs
Squigs44 (273 D)

Current proposal:

aye on ag proposal
guak (3381 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
I just read back and also found a proposal made by Vashta that should probably be queued.
Atrum (458 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
On the current proposal of "Player with highest point[z] gains +501 additional point[z]", I vote Nay.

Current Status of Proposal:
Aye: ag, guak
Nay: Atrum, Squigs, kasi
semck83 (229 D(B))
31 Jul 14 UTC
I vote nay.
Atrum (458 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
Current Proposal: "Player with highest point[z] gains +501 additional point[z]."

Current Status:
Aye: ag, guak
Nay: Atrum, semck, Squigs, kasi

So, with our current total of 12 players, we need 2 more nay's to block this proposal.
People who haven't voted yet: erza, Jamiet, SD, PE, ghug, Vashta

I vote nay on the kasi amendment.
I propose (for the queue) that any future proposals must be accompanied with an explanation of how the proposal, if passed, would contribute to the good of us, the nomic members

Ladies and gentilman I propose (for queue) that the first 10 founding members of novic be given the title senator and be given a extra right. Senator votes count as 2 votes. Also when you want to talk to a senator you would for example say Senator kasimax. Below is the list of the 10 founding members. 

kasimax, jamiet99uk, President Eden, socrates , ag7433, guak, semck, atrum, ezra willis, ghug.

ezra willis (305 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
I vote nay on ag proposal.
semck83 (229 D(B))
31 Jul 14 UTC
That, I believe, is defeat.
ezra willis (305 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
So now what the next propsal comes out of the queue correct?
correct, and we can all vote on atrum's proposal. i vote 'aye'.

also, love your proposal ezra, i was thinking it would be nice to have a title, founding fathers like jefferson etc. but senator will do!

My proposal was defeated... a sad day in my Nomic career, indeed. On reflection it would have been a dumb rule and would have created a circular reference. I respect the voice of the Council.
semck83 (229 D(B))
31 Jul 14 UTC
@kasi, I'm not sure about the current rules, but presumably by default amendments die with the proposal; that, at any rate, is the case universally in parliamentary procedure, and the meaning of the opposite would be unclear.
Atrum (458 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
So the status of the current proposal is as follows:

Current Proposal: "I propose that anyone whose points go over the requisite 500 to win, has their points automatically reset to 0."

Status:
Aye: Atrum, SD
Nay: semck
ezra willis (305 D)

I vote nay on Atrum's proposal.

Thanks SD I'm sure if it is pased then someone could always change that ;)
Aha, we will see. I meant to do a vote for the first 7 members so it's lucky you did it. It's just important that we get recognised for what we've contributed to the community ;)
Atrum (458 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
(First Seven would have cut me out SD (since I'm #8)... Makes me glad that the proposal on the table for first 10).

Also: Where do we stand on the amendment that is currently active on the floor?
That was the problem I had, I thought to get it passed it has to be a sufficiently large number that enough people would want to pass it, but not too large that it would be almost meaningless.
guak (3381 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
I vote nay on Atrum
Jamiet99uk (808 D)

Okay, so a comprehensive review of the game's current status:


Rules in Place:
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 is not 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 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 open proposal by a queue, and ghug gets 10 Nomic Pointz.
12. Nomic Pointz can be accumulated through +1's on this thread.
13. All Nomic members whose username does not start with a capital letter gains 50 Nomic Pointz.
14. Rules can be queued, but each person is limited to 1 rule in the queue.


Pursuant to Rule #4: The Current Nomic Members are as follows (in order of Seniority): kasimax, Jamiet99uk, President Eden, Socrates Dissatisfied, ag7433, guak, smeck83, Atrum, erza willis, ghug, VashtaNeurotic, Squigs44.


Current Proposal on the floor: "Anyone whose points go over the requisite 500 to win, has their points automatically reset to 0." (Proposed by Atrum)

Current Votes:
Aye: Atrum, SD, ag
Nay: semck, guak, Jamie


Current Amendment on the floor: "Nomic Pointz can be accumulated through +1s on this thread, which are to be counted every ten pages, after this counting. New +1s on posted already counted don't affect the game." (Proposed by Kasi)

Current Vote:
Yea: kasi, Jamet, Atrum, guak, ag
Nay: SD, ghug, Squigs, semck



Proposals currently queued:

guak: Any proposed rule or amendment that is redundant will dock all of the proposers accumulated [Nomic] pointz and give that exact amount to each other player.

Smeck: at 12:01 PM CDT tomorrow, Nomic [members] will receive points as follows: [members] who ids begin with a, c, e, g, etc. will be designated "odd-lettered" [members], the remainder will be designated even-letter players. At 12:01 PM CDT tomorrow, the odd-lettered players will each receive 100 [Nomic] pointz if there were an odd number of posts submitted to the "Truly original thread" / "last person to post wins" thread before 12:01 PM CDT, otherwise, the even-lettered players will receive 100 [Nomic] pointz.

ghug: 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 points 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.
