Players shall be able to trade 15 points to designate a number. This number shall correspond to the free parking winning number.

A player may designate up to 10 numbers per turn.

If a player designates a number that is equal to the free parking winning number, that player will win 50% of the points in free parking.

The other 50% will go to the player that has that number as their chosen free parking number. If no player has that number as their chosen free parking number, the remaining 50% of points stay in free parking.

If more than one player has designated a number that is the free parking winning number, those players shall equally split 50% of the points in free parking rounding up to the nearest integer.

All points paid by a player to designate a number will be added to free parking.

This action shall take place during a single turn, points must be designated by the end of the turn and are only designated for that turn.

After the free parking number is determined and properly compensated as outlined in the ruleset, the designated numbers a player chose for the previous turn are not designated to that player anymore. A player may choose to trade points for that number for the next turn.

On The Mappa, each Space shall have an Elevation. The Elevation of a Space is a positive integer equal to the Height of the Tower built on it. A Space without a Tower has Elevation zero (0). A Space may only contain one Tower.

A Player who owns a Space can increase its Height by building a Tower on that Space. By notification to the Forum, a Player may build a Tower on any Space they own or increase the Height of any Tower they own. The Height of a Tower cannot be decreased.

The total Height of all Towers a Player owns cannot exceed their Seniority Points.

( 20030330: enacted [497] by Ouroboros)

To read:

On The Mappa, each Space shall have an Elevation. The Elevation of a Space is a positive integer equal to the Height of the Tower built on it. Elevation is measured in units of Levels. A Space without a Tower has Elevation 0 (zero) Levels. A Space may only contain one Tower.

A Player who owns a Space can increase its Height by notification to the Forum. The Height of a Tower cannot be decreased.

At the beginning of each Turn, each Player who submitted one or more Votes the previous Turn shall gain the ability to increase the Elevation of one Space they own by one Level. If not used, this ability expires at the end of the Turn. No Player may increase the Height of a Space by more than two Levels in a single turn.

There shall exist as a game entity the Nomicow. The Nomicow roams the Mappa moving in a straight line, three squares at the beginnig of each turn. The direction Nomicow moves is determined randomly. The Nomicow may not move diagonally. If the Nomicow reaches the edge of the Mappa it will continue its movement from the opposite edge.

However, if the player possesses the Atomic Bomb during this event, the player will lose double the amount in Free Parking. The lost points shall go into Free parking.

Disputes between two Players that do not involve rule conflict, including arguments, disagreements or other challenges may be resolved through a Tug of War.

For a Tug of War to be initiated one Player must challenge another player to a Tug of War, stating their reason for doing so on the public fora. If and when the challenged player accepts the challenge a Tug of War will be initiated, and will be officially announced at the start of the next turn.

After the start of the next turn Players may indicate that they wish to support one of the two challenging Players. They may only do so only once for each Tug of War. At the end of this turn the Seniority Points of each Players supporters are totaled and the challenging Player whose side has the most Seniority Points is declared 'The Victor' of that particular dispute.

There shall exist a method of voting entitled the Nomicount.

In a Nomicount, each voter ranks the candidates in decending order from favorite to least favorite on their ballot and Vote Points are awarded based on the rankings.

Each player may rank each candidate only once, but need not rank all candidates nor use every ranking (for instance, a voter's ballot might only contain a 1st place ranking and a 4th place ranking).

If there are N candidates, then Vote Points are awarded like so:

For each 1st place rank: N-1 Vote Points
For each 2nd place rank: N-2 Vote Points
For each 3rd place rank: N-3 Vote Points
...
For each Nth (last) place vote: 0 Vote Points

The winner is the candidate with the most Vote Points.

Whereas, the current round of Nomicron is in actuality the second round to occur under this renowned name, and

Whereas, several of the foremost Players in the current round of Nomicron were Players in the previous, original, round,

It is to the benefit of the current round of Nomicron that we recognize the contributions of these Gerontocrats of Nomicron, namely,

evol,
jef,

pitboss,
stevil, and

And acknowledge them with appreciation and gratitude for what they have done, and continue to do, in the advance of our great game, Nomicron.
