Since the current game of MC is going so well, I was considering starting up a Nomic version for us to play.
I take it you all know what that means ...

A nomic is a game where changing the rules is a move.
Essentially players propose new rules and the others vote on them. The idea can be applied to any game, including MC, although naturally this would constrain the game being played at the time to ONLY the rules made by players and NOT any of the ordinary day to day rules that we've seen in the games being played here at the moment.
I played a nomic version of MC once and it worked very well and having seen a couple of others floating about, it's not too difficult a concept to get your head round once you start.

Of course, if we can get enough people together, we COULD play by email too if anyone's interested ...

I'm not sure it's worth it as there's already some very effective games going on in the forum.
