Create a new rule named 'Rule 305, Position and Movement' with the following BLIVET delimited text

BLIVET
All entities have a position that can be described by a coordinate system in the form (X,Y) where (for the purposes of this rule) X and Y are integers which measure distance in Skooches.

Entities are either intangible, tangible, or add-ons. If an entity is intangible, it may share position coordinates with any other entities. If an entity is an add-on, it may exist either as an independent entity, or it may be considered a piece of another entity and able to share a position coordinate with that entity, as specified by the rules.

If an entity is tangible, it may share a position coordinate with no other tangible entity and has a bigness. If no bigness is specified by other rules, all tangible entities have a bigness of 1 Clunker. Intangible an add-on entities have a default bigness of 0 Clunkers.

It is possible for an entity to have its position changed. Whenever an entity is acted on in this manner, then the distance it is moving is found by finding the change in its X and Y position coordinates, squaring each of them, and taking the square root of eir sum, rounded down. This distance is multiplied by the bigness of the entities being moved and that many Oomphs (owned by the entity doing the moving) must be destroyed. No entity may ever have a negative amount of energy.

Citizens are tangible entities, may own energy, and may move emselves. Each Alive! citizen is given three Oomphs each week on Sunday morning at 00:00. When a citizen is created, it must have a valid position specified.

Any entity with no position otherwise defined is intangible and at (0,0). The postion (0,0) shall be a location known as The Origin.

If there are tangible entities when this rule goes into effect with no postion described, then in that instant they shall be located in a manner consistent with this procedure:
1. The entities will be randomly ordered.
2. In order, each entity will be given a position.
3. The positions shall be (0,0), (0,1), (0,-1) (-1,0), (0,2), (1,1) (2,0) (1,-1) and so on.

Create a rule named "Rule 600, Hawaii Five-Oh" with the following IGO delimited text:

IGO
Section 1 Definitions

A) There exists in Axiom a game called Political Go. It is played by any citizen whose player publicly indicates such a desire. Citizens who are playing Political Go are referred to as Go Players when eir participation in Political Go is important.

B) The Go Board is tangible entity of bigness 10 and is a 19x19 grid, lettered horizontally from a-s and numbered vertically from 1-19 with these coordinates defining spots on the board. Each spot on the grid is either empty or has a stone on it.

C) Stones are add-on entities, of bigness 0, which are attached to The Board. If a stone is being placed on the board it is created for such a purpose and if removed, it is destroyed. When a Go Player adds a stone it is created in eir possession. Each Go Player must use a distinct character to represent eir stones. Friendly stones are all stones a Go Player owns on the board and any stones on the board owned by a Go Player officially allied with the first.

D) An army is defined as any set of friendly stones where any stone in the army is directly next to another in a vertical or horizontal direction.

E) Spots on the board where a stone could be added such that it becomes a member of an army are liberties for that army. A spot may count as a liberty for more than one army.

F) The Go Consul is in charge of keeping Political Go organized. E may be a Go Player. Eir job is to ensure all Go Players follow the rules, maintain a record of the Political Go and its current state, and make such records publicly available. Decisions of the Go Consul regarding Political Go must be in accordance with the rules and are final until overturned by CFJ. Players are encouraged to remove bad Go Consuls from the position by proposal or CFJ. If at any time there is no Go Consul, any citizen may make themselves Go Consul by public announcement.

Section 2 Turns

A) The play list shall consist of citizens's names listed top to bottom. When citizens start playing Political Go, eir name is added to the bottom of the list. The Go Player whose name is at the top of the list takes eir turn, has the results of eir turn determined, and then has eir name moved to the bottom of the list.

B) The Go Player whose turn it is has three complete days to make a move. If no move is made in this time, that Go Player automatically makes the move "Pass".

C) A move may be any of the following:
(i) A declaration of alliance with another Go Player.
(ii) A declaration of war on an ally.
(iii) Placing a stone.
(iiii) Pass.
(iv) Surrender.
(v) Sleep.

D) If a Go Player makes a move to Surrender then eir name is removed from the play list and all the stones on the board which e owns are destroyed. If a player passes three times in a row, then the third time is considered to be a Surrender.

E) If a Go Player makes a move to Sleep, eir name is removed from the play list, but eir stones are not removed from the board. In the same way that a citizen joins the game, e may stop sleeping and have eir name added to the play list.

F) The game ends and a winner is determined when one of the following conditions is met:
(i) Every Go Player on the play list, in sequence, has had a chance to make a move and failed to place a stone. In this case, the winner of Poltical Go is the Go Player with the most stones on the board (ties borken randomly).
(ii) Stones owned by more than one citizen are on the board but only one citizen's name is on the play list. In this case, the winner of Political Go is the citizen who is still on the play list.

G) The Go Player who wins becomes the new Go Consul unless they decline. In this case the citizen who owns the next highest scorer shall be Go Consul, and so on, until a Go Consul is found or the pool is exhausted. Whoever accepts this honor is given 10 Oomphs.

Section 3 Alliances

A) If a Go Player makes eir move and it is to declare an alliance, then until the three days of eir turn ends, that alliance is considered offered. An offer can be resolved by time running out, in which case the player's move is considered to be a pass, or by the offered player accepting the alliance, in which case the two players are considered to be allies. Accepting an alliance does not use a turn.

B) More than two Go Players may be in a single alliance, this occurs when a Go Player makes a move to join an alliance and names a player already in one and all members of the alliance publicly accept in the manner described above.

C) If a Go Player makes eir move and it is to declare war on an ally then the Go Player who made the declaration is removed from the alliance they are in.

D) No Go Player may be in more than one alliance.

Section 4 Game Mechanics

A) If a Go Player makes a move to place a stone, any spot on the board is valid except:
(i) Spots where stones already are.
(ii) Spots where the placed stone would immediately be removed from the board.
(iii) Spots where that player already had an army composed of one stone the last time e could place a stone.

B) After any stone is placed or any Go Player leaves an alliance the Go Consul shall check the board to determine if there are any armies with no liberties. If this is determined to be the case for any armies, those armies are removed from the board. The determination is made for the armies of each Go Player sequentially moving from the bottom to the top of the play list.

Section 5 Scoring

A) The Go Score of a Go Player is the number of spots on the board which they (alone or with their allies) are uniquely responsible for making impermissible as valid places for non friendly stones to go. (This means that if a two players, not allies, make a spot invalid for a third by totally surrounding it no one gains points for that spot.)

B) If a player is in an alliance, they receive no normal Go Score but the Go Score they would have recieved otherwise is added to the alliance's Go Score. Spots made impermissible by more than one member of an alliance only add to the alliance's score once, not once for each member of the alliance involved. Then the alliance's Go Score is shared equally among its members (rounding down).

C) On Sunday morning at 00:00, a temporary Go Score List shall be compiled of all players of Political Go, higher Go Scores corresponding to higher positions on the Go Score Lists . Ties on the Go Score List are permitted, with multiple names permissible on any given line. At this time, each Go Player shall be get an Oomph of energy for each player beneath them on the Go Score List.

If it was not, the rude alive! citizen must post a public apology that satisfies the poobah of politeness within 3 days. If they do not, the offended citizen is given a Politness Button with the offensive citizen's name on it. If the named message was polite, the accuser must publicly apologize to the the satisfaction of the poobah of politeness within 3 days, or the accused receives a Politeness Button with the accusing citizen's name on it. In any case, at this point in time, the poobah of politeness ceases to be the poobah of politeness.

A Politeness Button can be used to force the citizen whose name (or former name) is on the button to vote according to the choice of the owner of the button on one proposal.

VERYHARD
Section 1 The Goal
If any player belongs is in any nomic game other than Axiom such that has been going for at least 3 months without eir participation and has more than five players, then it is considered good form for that player to create a rule (or object with similar function) that indicates that nomic's allegiance to Axiom. This alleigance should be non-binding so that they don't get mad and come after us, and ideally should encourage a sense of kinship (albeit on unequal terms since Axiom is, after all, superior) between our nomics.

Section 2 The Rewards
If it is publicly knowable that the above goal has been met by some player then that player's citizen has achieved a win condition. More than one win of this type is not possible from a single nomic unless they repeal the rule which earned the win, in which case re-establishing that or a similar rule earns a new win condition.

Section 3 The Trophy Wall
If any citizen ever (by some unlikely turn of events) picks up a Cycle from this rule then the nomic whose alleigance we've gained shall have their name appended to this section of this rule. These names shall not produce any game effects though they shall change if it ever becomes publicly knowable that the associated nomic has changed its name.

Axiom has garnered the alleigance of the following nomics:

b)Merely declare leaving eir lord and become an unaffiliated citizen, unable to vote.

The Lord being left is considered to have lost the subject in either case. Any votes for current finalized proposals the citizen has cast are removed. If the citizen does not gain acceptance for their new subjecthood, they are considered to be unaffiliated. If the person who is asked for lordship is a subject, they become a Lord, and their Lord loses that person as a subject.

5) A Lord must have at least three subjects, or e may not vote.

6) If a Lord has 3 to 5 subjects, e gets 1 normal vote plus one bonus whenever votes are cast.

7) For every full multiple of 3 (6, 9,12...) subjects above 3 subjects, the Lord gets an extra bonus vote as in line 6.

8) If a lord loses enough subjects to drop below the required number to gain a bonus vote, any bonus votes cast on the authority of the lost subjects on current finalized proposals are removed from the proposal.

9) Bonus votes are marked as such for voting and record keeping purposes.

10) For the purposes of vote tabulation for a proposal, a bonus vote cast for a specific proposal acts in all ways as an Alive! citizen for that proposal.

11) Any official grouping of citizens must contain at least one Lord.

12) No Lord may belong to more than five official groupings.

FREEBIE

REVENGE
If more than half of the Alive! citizens vote the same way, then the CFJ's status is changed to reflect this vote, otherwise the status is changed to whatever the appellate Judge ruled. If the previous sentence causes the status to return to whatever the Appellate Judge ruled, the citizen who overturned the CFJ loses two Oomphs (or as many as they have if such is not possible), and have eir acceptability changed to Unexcellent. Once an overturned CFJ has been resolved, it is final.

GvE
On the first day of every Month all players must Choose to align themselves with either.
A) Naughtyness
B) Niceness

Create Rule 431 with the following BOOKOFLAWS delimited text

BOOKOFLAWS
There are three Books of ultimate law in Axiom
1) The Great Book of the All powerful Ruleset. This Book has jurisdiction and precedence over all existence and all books of Axiom. It is Enshrined in a location permanently unaccessable to all of Axiom.
2) The Great Book of Niceness. This book has jurisdiction over all points above the line {X,0} (where X is any integer). This Book is located at {0,150}
3) The Great Book of Naugtyness. This book has jurisdiction over all points below the line {X,0} (where X is any integer). This Book is located at {0,-150}

There are three types of Rules/Propositions for Axiom. The three types are Nice, Naughy, and Ultimate.
1) Any player may propose and vote for an Ultimate proposition, unless otherwise specified. An Ultimate proposition is the same thing as a proposition as defined by the ruleset. When an Ultimate Proposition is passed, it is placed as a page (an add-on entity) in the Great Book of the All powerful Ruleset.
2) Only players aligned with Niceness may propose or vote on Nice Propositions. The procedure for voting is the same as for Ultimate Propositions, unless otherwise specified By the Great Book of Niceness. When a Nice rule is passed, it falls to {0,150} as a page.
3) Only players aligned with Naughtyness may propose or vote on Naughty Propositions. The procedure for voting is the same as for Ultimate Propositions, unless otherwise specified By the Great Book of Naughtyness. When a Naughty rule is passed, it falls to {0,-150} as a page.
4) Nice and Naughty propositions are to be of the form (X, Y, Z). Where X is the respective designation Naughty or Nice, Y is an integer (less than 1000) not yet associated with its respective book (naughty/nice), and Z is a unique string less than 40 characters in length.

Corollaries
1) A page is an add-on entity with rule text printed on it. The name of the page is the name of the rule on it.
2) If a Page is on the same coordinate as a Book, it is considered to be part of the Book.
3) If a page is not in a Book, It has no effect.
4) If a page is in a Book, it is considered to have rule status for all that the Book it is placed in has jurisdiction over.
5) If a page is removed from a book, it loses any rule status it had as part of the book.
6) No entity created on the authority of either The Great Book of Niceness, or The Great Book of Naugtyness may enter the domain of the other respective book, unless so specified by a rule in the Great Book of the All powerful Ruleset.
7) All current rules directly after this rule's passage are placed in The Great Book of the All powerful Ruleset.
8) All rules in all three books are considered to be rules for the game of Axiom.
