What is FutureNomic?
FutureNomic is a variation of the game Nomic begun as an
offshoot of the Future Culture Mailing
List. The original Nomic was created in 1982 by Peter Suber.
Basically, the point of the game is to make the rules of the game. Nomic
begins with an initial set of rules, and players propose new rules,
amendments to existing rules, or the repeal of existing rules. Playes vote
on the proposal and score points for getting their proposals passed. Of
course, this process for passing, voting, and scoring is itself an initial
rule that is open to being superceded, amended, or repealed!
FutureNomic and these pages are currently maintained by Greg Ritter. Send inquiries
about this page or the game to Greg at ghritter@gallux.gallaudet.edu.
Nomic Players should send votes to the Ballot Manager. Nomic Players should submit proposed rule-changes to
the Traffic Manager.
