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."

I second that proposal (i.e. aye/yea)
kasimax (243 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
we should compile a to-do list:
a) fix the guak paradoxon (when is the voting process finished?)
b) count the points each x pages so it doesn't get too confusing
c)
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
Perhaps we fix the 'loophole' with a retroactive clause?
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
To be fair, I really don't see where the loophole was to begin with... which rule was it part of? 5?
kasimax (243 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
sounds good. also, inactive players and the time since their last post:
guak (31 h ago)
semck (38h)
ghug (39h)
ezra (40h)
socrates (40h)
eden (53h)
ag7433 (58h)
kasimax (243 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
it was unclear whether the voting is finished as soon as a majority is reached or as soon as every member has voted. was especially necessary because of the squigs proposal.
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
I propose the final amendment to rule 5:

"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. [As soon as the proposal has collected the necessary votes to either pass or fail, voting on the subject will be closed, and any benefits that come with voting on this matter will be only distributed to those who voted before the proposal was passed or rejected. Furthermore, the final clause of this rule will apply to all voting that has taken place during this game of Nomic.]
kasimax (243 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
wonderful. i retract my clean proposal queue proposal so we can get this through first. i vote in favour.
kasimax (243 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
got anything else for the to-do list, atrum?
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
(I guess it should say, the final two sentences, otherwise that final sentence is redundant)
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
We need to pass the Revise / Abstain bill
kasimax (243 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
alright. let's get this passed first, then clear the list, then move on to the revise/abstain.
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
Alright, how many active players are there?
kasimax (243 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
four. you, me, squigs and vashta.
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
So we need a vote from either of those two, and I think they are offline... crap
kasimax (243 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
we're not in a hurry anway ;)
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
SD's online, perhaps we can get him to come back from inactivity, make it 5 active members, and get through some cleaning up rules.
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
I know we're not necessarily in a hurry, but it'd be nice to get some legislation passed while the inactive argumentative members are away/asleep.
kasimax (243 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
alright, you can message him if you like.
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
Already did, but I didn't reach him before he went offline. So I guess we're stuck waiting either way.
aye, for atrum
kasimax (243 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
wonderful. i re-propose that all proposals currently queued are deleted from the list.
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
I vote aye for this proposal
ezra willis (305 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
I vote aye as well.
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
Wait... Are there any proposals even in the queue?
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
Also, with 3/5 of the active members having voted, I guess the point is moot
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
Wait, there are 6 active members, my bad
kasimax (243 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
yes, there are at least two. nobody kept a list for a whle, so searching them would be tiresome. now we need one more vote, then we can move on.
Atrum (458 D)
04 Aug 14 UTC
Well, I think the other ones had expired, hadn't they?
kasimax (243 D)

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. [As soon as the proposal has collected the necessary votes to either pass or fail, voting on the subject will be closed, and any benefits that come with voting on this matter will be only distributed to those who voted before the proposal was passed or rejected. Furthermore, the final clause of this rule will apply to all voting that has taken place during this game of Nomic.]
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 or amendment may be open for consideration at any one time. Once a rule proposal or amendment has been made, voting on that proposal or amendment must be concluded before any other proposal or amendment can be made. Furthermore, we are resolving open proposals or amendments 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.
15. If a player has not made a post in the last 24 hours, they are added to a list of inactive players. When a player is in the inactive list, they do not count towards the total of players currently in the game. To cease being an inactive player, the player must simply state that they have returned from inactivity. If a player has been inactive for 48 hours (i.e. has not made a post in the last 72 hours), they will be added to a ‘suspended’ players list. When a player is suspended, they are treated under the same conditions as inactive, with the following change:
Instead of being able to state that they have returned, they must ask to re-enter the council floor, which will prompt an immediate vote from the active Nomic Members. This vote requires the normal simple majority to pass, and if passed, the player is immediately re-added to the active Nomic Members list, making them count towards the vote total, and allowing them full voting privileges.
16. There is a President of Nomic. The President will be elected on a weekly basis, election to be held on Monday (GMT) in parallel with any other voting. Initially, the President will have no additional powers or privileges, but additional rules can ascribe them to whoever is the sitting president by referencing simply "the president."
17. All those that vote "aye" on this proposal while it is active and has not yet passed receive 25 nomic pointz. All those that vote nay on this proposal lose all of their nomic pointz. All those that do not vote on this proposal miss out on this wonderful opportunity for pointz. By making this proposal, Squigs44 is automatically voting "aye". If this proposal passes, it also gives Squigs44 an additional 10 nomic pointz.
Pursuant to Rule #4: The Current Nomic Members are as follows (in order of Seniority): kasimax, socrates, Atrum, VashtaNeurotic, ezra, Squigs44.

Inactives: President Eden, ag7433, guak, smeck83, ghug

Currently on the floor:

empty the current proposal list.
