Citizens

The process of applying for access to the BlogNomic blog is outlined in the FAQ. A human with access to the blog who is not already a Citizen may make a blog post making clear their wish to be a Citizen (plural form Citizens); in response, an Admin shall add them to the roster in [Core Tracking], at which moment they become a Citizen.

A Citizen may only change their name as a result of a Proposal approving the change.

Some Citizens are Admins, responsible for updating the site and the Ruleset, and are signified as such in [Core Tracking]. Citizens who wish to become Admins may sign up with a username for the Ruleset Wiki, and submit a Proposal to make themselves Admins. Existing Admins may be removed from their posts by Proposal, CfJ, or voluntary resignation.

Idle Citizens

A Citizen can be Idle or not. Current Non-idle Citizens are listed in [Core Tracking]. For the purposes of all Gamestate and the Ruleset, excluding the core and appendix Rules “Ruleset and Gamestate”, “Citizens”, “Dynasties”, “Fair Play”, “Mentors” and any of those Rules' subrules, Idle Citizens are not counted as Citizens. The combined term “Idle Citizen” can be used to refer to Citizens who are Idle even in rules that do not treat them as Citizens.

If a Proposal contains a provision that targets a specifically named Idle Citizen, then that Idle Citizen is considered to be Unidle solely for the purposes of enacting that specific provision.

When a Citizen is unidled, if they went Idle in the same Dynasty, their personal gamestate retains the last legally endowed values it had, if they are still valid. Otherwise (including if a value is invalid, does not exist, or the Citizen Idled in a different Dynasty), the Citizen is given the default value for new Citizens, if such a value exists.

A Citizen can Unidle or Idle themselves if their Idle/Unidle status hasn't changed in the last 96 hours and within the current dynasty. They should announce when they do this in a blog post or comment.

An Admin can Idle a Citizen that hasn't posted an entry or commented in the last 7 days (168 hours). They should announce when they do this in a blog post or comment.

Quorum and the total amount of players should be tracked at [Core Tracking].

Idle admins can resolve Votable Matters as if they were not idle.
