http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/writing/nomic.htm (If it gets tl;dr, scroll down to "B. How to play Nomic")
Essentially, gameplay consists of proposing a rule, or a change to an existing rule, then voting on it. If it's accepted, the player who proposed it receives points. Collect n points to win... at least initially. Due to the design of the game, however, the whole objective can be subverted to something else via changes to the rule-changing mechanic, alternate victory conditions, etc.
I've never actually played it before, but it seems really fun and well-suited to forum play.

I propose Rule 105 be transmuted to Rule 214, making it Mutable. I also propose the revoking of Rules 208 and 209.
<_<
(No better way to play Calvinball!)
(And hey, if you want to make a subforum/signup thing, I'm cool with that. Make it Rule 117)

Yeah, I meant to add that it's basically codified Calvinball, which is a less paradoxial concept than it seems.
Anyway, this topic isn't meant to be an actual game, just a gaguing of interest.

So Rule 118 is that the gauging of interest topic isn't to be used for the game, then?

No, it'd be Rule 302. Somebody didn't read Rule 108, it seems.

Well, we'd have to make it immutable, obviously.

Do not click. Do, however, click these at your leisure ('specially for stats): Gero, Terra, Tic, Nys'elni and Murphy.

Challenges open if I'm around, though you'd better be prepared to stat, 'cause I'm lazy.

Bah. The rules are easy to understand, I swear! It's not like it's a horridly complicated already-in-progress Nomic, like Agora or something.

You were in last time too.
(Yes, I already made a topic about it, but 18-month necroposts are poor form.)
Anyway, we can conceivably start with just three people; that might spark further interest, though it might also drive it away. >_>

Sorry, the immutable rules contradict your rules, therefore, they don't exist.

But Kerby's rules possess a lower ordinal number than the immutable rules do. Thus, by rule 211, they take precedence.
The real problem is that the rules were not introduced as per rule 202, and thus, as per rule 116, they are void.

Rule 1 isn't contradicted by the immutable rules per se, only its status as a rule is. However, playership in the game is not currently addressed by any rules, and therefore is implicitly permitted as per Rule 116, thus making Kerberos's proposed Rule 1 unneccessary.

My first act as your president will be to abolish the "vote", and instead, players will create rules, and the president will decide if they are played or not. Now, how to create a president position, and worm my way into it...
...Did I say all that out loud?

The references to "unanimity" and "majority" in the rules imply a discrete body of players.

Mmkay, so here's the starting version of the rules. If there are no objections, I'll make the game topic shortly.
Initial Set of Rules, revised for FEABL use:
Immutable Rules- 101. All players must always abide by all the rules then in effect, in the form in which they are then in effect. The rules in the Initial Set are in effect whenever a game begins. The Initial Set consists of Rules 101-116 (immutable) and 201-213 (mutable).
102. Initially rules in the 100's are immutable and rules in the 200's are mutable. Rules subsequently enacted or transmuted (that is, changed from immutable to mutable or vice versa) may be immutable or mutable regardless of their numbers, and rules in the Initial Set may be transmuted regardless of their numbers.
103. A rule-change is any of the following: (1) the enactment, repeal, or amendment of a mutable rule; (2) the enactment, repeal, or amendment of an amendment of a mutable rule; or (3) the transmutation of an immutable rule into a mutable rule or vice versa.
(Note: This definition implies that, at least initially, all new rules are mutable; immutable rules, as long as they are immutable, may not be amended or repealed; mutable rules, as long as they are mutable, may be amended or repealed; any rule of any status may be transmuted; no rule is absolutely immune to change.)
104. All rule-changes proposed in the proper way shall be voted on. They will be adopted if and only if they receive the required number of votes.
105. Every player is an eligible voter. Every eligible voter must participate in every vote on rule-changes.
106. All proposed rule-changes shall be written down before they are voted on. If they are adopted, they shall guide play in the form in which they were voted on.
107. No rule-change may take effect earlier than the moment of the completion of the vote that adopted it, even if its wording explicitly states otherwise. No rule-change may have retroactive application.
108. Each proposed rule-change shall be given a number for reference. The numbers shall begin with 301, and each rule-change proposed in the proper way shall receive the next successive integer, whether or not the proposal is adopted.
If a rule is repealed and reenacted, it receives the number of the proposal to reenact it. If a rule is amended or transmuted, it receives the number of the proposal to amend or transmute it. If an amendment is amended or repealed, the entire rule of which it is a part receives the number of the proposal to amend or repeal the amendment.
109. Rule-changes that transmute immutable rules into mutable rules may be adopted if and only if the vote is unanimous among the eligible voters. Transmutation shall not be implied, but must be stated explicitly in a proposal to take effect.
110. In a conflict between a mutable and an immutable rule, the immutable rule takes precedence and the mutable rule shall be entirely void. For the purposes of this rule a proposal to transmute an immutable rule does not "conflict" with that immutable rule.
111. If a rule-change as proposed is unclear, ambiguous, paradoxical, or destructive of play, or if it arguably consists of two or more rule-changes compounded or is an amendment that makes no difference, or if it is otherwise of questionable value, then the other players may suggest amendments or argue against the proposal before the vote. A reasonable time must be allowed for this debate. The proponent decides the final form in which the proposal is to be voted on and, unless the Judge has been asked to do so, also decides the time to end debate and vote.
112. The state of affairs that constitutes winning may not be altered from achieving n points to any other state of affairs. The magnitude of n and the means of earning points may be changed, and rules that establish a winner when play cannot continue may be enacted and (while they are mutable) be amended or repealed.
113. A player always has the option to forfeit the game rather than continue to play or incur a game penalty. No penalty worse than losing, in the judgment of the player to incur it, may be imposed.
114. There must always be at least one mutable rule. The adoption of rule-changes must never become completely impermissible.
115. Rule-changes that affect rules needed to allow or apply rule-changes are as permissible as other rule-changes. Even rule-changes that amend or repeal their own authority are permissible. No rule-change or type of move is impermissible solely on account of the self-reference or self-application of a rule.
116. Whatever is not prohibited or regulated by a rule is permitted and unregulated, with the sole exception of changing the rules, which is permitted only when a rule or set of rules explicitly or implicitly permits it.
Mutable Rules- 201. Players shall alternate in alphabetical order by username, taking one whole turn apiece. Turns may not be skipped or passed, and parts of turns may not be omitted. All players begin with zero points.
202. One turn consists of two parts in this order: (1) proposing one rule-change and having it voted on, and (2) calculating one's score as follows:
Subtract 291 from the ordinal number of the proposal and multiply the result by the fraction of favorable votes it received, rounded to the nearest integer. (This yields a number between 0 and 10 for the first player, with the upper limit increasing by one each turn; more points are awarded for more popular proposals.)
203. A rule-change is adopted if and only if the vote is unanimous among the eligible voters. If this rule is not amended by the end of the second complete circuit of turns, it automatically changes to require only a simple majority.
204. If and when rule-changes can be adopted without unanimity, the players who vote against winning proposals shall receive 10 points each.
205. An adopted rule-change takes full effect at the moment of the completion of the vote that adopted it.
206. When a proposed rule-change is defeated, the player who proposed it loses 10 points.
207. Each player always has exactly one vote.
208. The winner is the first player to achieve 200 (positive) points.
209. At no time may there be more than 25 mutable rules.
210. If two or more mutable rules conflict with one another, or if two or more immutable rules conflict with one another, then the rule with the lowest ordinal number takes precedence.
If at least one of the rules in conflict explicitly says of itself that it defers to another rule (or type of rule) or takes precedence over another rule (or type of rule), then such provisions shall supersede the numerical method for determining precedence.
If two or more rules claim to take precedence over one another or to defer to one another, then the numerical method again governs.
211. If players disagree about the legality of a move or the interpretation or application of a rule, then the player preceding the one moving is to be the Judge and decide the question. Disagreement for the purposes of this rule may be created by the insistence of any player. This process is called invoking Judgment.
When Judgment has been invoked, the next player may not begin his or her turn without the consent of a majority of the other players.
The Judge's Judgment may be overruled only by a unanimous vote of the other players taken before the next turn is begun. If a Judge's Judgment is overruled, then the player preceding the Judge in the playing order becomes the new Judge for the question, and so on, except that no player is to be Judge during his or her own turn or during the turn of a team-mate.
Unless a Judge is overruled, one Judge settles all questions arising from the game until the next turn is begun, including questions as to his or her own legitimacy and jurisdiction as Judge.
New Judges are not bound by the decisions of old Judges. New Judges may, however, settle only those questions on which the players currently disagree and that affect the completion of the turn in which Judgment was invoked. All decisions by Judges shall be in accordance with all the rules then in effect; but when the rules are silent, inconsistent, or unclear on the point at issue, then the Judge shall consider game-custom and the spirit of the game before applying other standards.
212. If the rules are changed so that further play is impossible, or if the legality of a move cannot be determined with finality, or if by the Judge's best reasoning, not overruled, a move appears equally legal and illegal, then the first player unable to complete a turn is the winner.
This rule takes precedence over every other rule determining the winner.
The only changes were the internet specific versions of 201, 202, and 208, the removal of 210, and the appropriate renumbering of the following rules.

Hmm, I couldn't finish reading at the moment, but I'd consider playing.
Actually, what the hell, I'm in.

Well, I was thinking that if I were to watch, I might understand it more easily, so I'll give the game a look if it gets going.

Here is a handy-dandy gist-list. If you're going to rules-lawyer, though, read the original ones. This is just for a general impression, because I almost didn't play because the rules were all tl;dr.
Rules:
Immutable Rules- 103. A rule-change is: the creation of a rule, the changing of the contents of a rule or changing a rule's mutability. New rules are initially mutable.
105. Every player can and must vote.
107. Rules come into effect only when they are voted on, and may not be applied retroactively.
108. Any proposed change to a rule shall receive a number one greater than the number of the rule that came before it.
109. Changes to mutability must be voted for unanimously. Mutability is stated in a rule.
110. If a mutable rule conflicts with an immutable rule, the entire mutable rule is annulled.
111. If a rule's value to the game is questioned, people can argue about it before voting. The proponent decides the final form of the rule, as well as when it's time to vote.
112. The only method of winning may be to get some number of points. How you get points and how many you need can be changed.
113. Anybody can quit. No penalty other than losing may be imposed for doing so.
114. There must always be at least one mutable rule. The adoption of rule-changes must never become completely impermissible.
115. Rule-changes affecting rules that affect rule-changes are fine.
116. Anything the rules don't specifically restrict is unrestricted.
Mutable Rules- 201. Everyone starts with zero points. All turns must be taken.
202. One turn consists of two parts in this order: (1) proposing one rule-change and having it voted on, and (2) adding (((number of proposed rule) - 291) * (fraction of people that voted for it)) to the score of the person proposing the rule.
203. A rule-change is adopted if and only if the vote is unanimous among the eligible voters. If this rule is not amended by the end of the second complete circuit of turns, it automatically changes to require only a simple majority.
204. If and when rule-changes can be adopted without unanimity, the players who vote against winning proposals shall receive 10 points each.
205. An adopted rule-change takes full effect at the moment of the completion of the vote that adopted it.
206. When a proposed rule-change is defeated, the player who proposed it loses 10 points.
207. Each player always has exactly one vote.
208. The winner is the first player to achieve 200 (positive) points.
209. At no time may there be more than 25 mutable rules.
210. If two rules with the same mutability contradict each other, the older one wins.
211. tl;dr
212. The first person unable to complete a move is the winner. This rule supersedes all others.

I tried once a while ago. Didn't happen.
I'd def. be up for a game, though I think we should start with simultaneous rules of some sort.
