This is a record of significant changes to the Core, Special Case and Appendix sections of the rules, which returning players should be aware of.

Proposals and CfJs now explicitly require a "[Core]" tag in their title if they are to amend Core rules, and the same for Special Case / Appendix edits. This is largely to prevent "change all X to Y" proposals inadvertently overwriting Core ruletext.
(date missing)
The "Imperial Deferentials" Special Case rule, when switched on, makes Emperor DEFERENTIAL votes default to the majority (rather than being null votes). Such votes are often cast when a proposal is more about gameplay than game design, and the Emperor wants to leave the decision to the players.

BlogNomic now becomes "dormant" if there are fewer than five active players, switching off until new players join.
