BlogNomic is a game of Nomic run as a communal weblog, that started in January 2003. Proposals are made as posts to the BlogNomic blog, with votes made as comments on those posts, and the ruleset stored here on the wiki.
BlogNomic is played over a number of themed rounds (or "dynasties"), usually presided over by one player as its "Emperor" figure. The Emperor chooses the theme for the dynasty, and is regarded as its caretaker, with the power to veto proposals made during it - this is as close as BlogNomic gets to having anybody in charge. When somebody wins a dynasty, we wipe the ruleset (except for the basic mechanics of voting and proposing) and start a new one with that player as its Emperor.
