Rule changes from 2006-05-19 17:09:08 to 2006-08-11 19:54:23

The Rules

1. All players must at all times abide by the rules. No player may ever take any voluntary action that violates any rule in the current set of rules.
2. The current set of rules is provided only as a convenience for interpreting the accepted proposals. In a conflict between a rule and the proposal that created it, the proposal is considered to be correct.
3. In the event that two or more rules contradict at any time, the following resolving scheme will be used:
   • If one of the rules defers to another rule or explicitly states that it has precedence over the other, then that rule will take priority.
   • If the above situation does not resolve the conflict, the rule which has been in its current form for the longest amount of time will take priority.
4. All actions are subject to approval by the Admin. An illegal action may be reverted by the Admin even if the website allows the player to take that action.

The Admin

Players

1. Each player will be required to have a unique username and a valid e-mail address. A single person may not act as more than one player.
2. The Admin is not a player.
3. New players may join the game at any time by approval of the Admin.
4. Any player that does not log in to the Nomopoly IV website for 21 days will be removed from the game.
5. All players are expected to act respectfully and courteously towards other players and the Admin at all times. Repeated violations of this rule will result in the offending player being removed from the game.

Money

1. The Nomopoly Dollar is the basic unit of currency in the game. All fractional dollar amounts will be rounded to the nearest dollar.
2. New players will receive $10000 upon entering the game.
3. A player with less than $0 is said to be bankrupt. No player may take any voluntary action that would deterministically cause him to become bankrupt. Additionally, any player that is bankrupt may not take any voluntary action that would deterministically result in a loss of money.

Items

1. An item is any object that a player may possess. There is no limit to how many items a player may have at any time.
2. If stated in the item description, an item may be "used" by the player owning it and any actions associated with using the item will take place. Unless otherwise stated in the item description, using an item causes the player to no longer have possession of it.
3. All items have a non-negative integer property called "Frequency", which defaults to 0 if not specified.
4. The following items exist:

   Item	Frequency	Effect upon use
   Mushroom	100	The player has his Jumps value increased by 3
   Feather	100	The player is immediately transported to any square of his choice
   Coin	100	The player receives $(250 * his level)
   Fire Flower	50	If the player's current square does not contain a Wall, the player selects (his current level / 2, rounded up) units/buildings on his current square (if there are less units/buildings than this value, all of them are selected). Each of these units/buildings loses hit points as though they were attacked with an attack strength of 30. If the player's current square contains a Wall, the player selects (his current level / 4, rounded up) units/buildings on his current square (if there are less units/buildings than this value, all of them are selected), one of which must be the Wall. The Wall loses 40 hit points, and the other selected units/buildings lose hit points as though they were attacked with an attack strength of 20.
   Ghost	40	The player becomes invisible for 3 days. An invisible player does not have his location shown to other players. Any time an invisible player performs an action that results in him moving to another square, that action does not show up on the History page.
   Green Shell	40	The Rber Ducky immediately jumps to the square occupied by a randomly selected player, excluding the player who used this item
   Red Shell	25	The player may select any other player. The Rber Ducky immediately jumps to the square occupied by that player.
   Lightning Bolt	2	All players except for the one using this item are immediately transported to the square containing the Rber Ducky
   Wilt Shroom	50	None
   Moldy Mush	45	None
   Rotten Mush	40	None
   Star Egg	0	All units and buildings on the same square as the player lose 100 hit points. The player does not lose this item after using it. After using a Star Egg, that player may not again use a Star Egg for 7 days.
   Magic Mining Pick	20	All SCVs owned by that player using this item immediately become enchanted with Super Mining
   Force Field	0	A force field is placed around the player's current square for 3 days. No player may jump to a square that contains a force field.
   Soul Gem (can be either Charged or Uncharged)	0	If the Soul Gem is uncharged and the player does not have a Ghost, then the Soul Gem has no effect. If the Soul Gem is uncharged and the player has a Ghost, the player loses a Ghost, the Soul Gem becomes Charged, and the player does not lose the Soul Gem. If the Soul Gem is charged, the player selects a building on the square he occupies, and that building loses 200 hit points.

Trade

1. Players may trade the following objects with each other:
   • Money
   • Items, unless the item in question is specifically marked as untradeable

The Board

1. The game will take place on the Nomopoly board, which consists of an ordered sequence of squares. Each square will have an integer number.
2. The board will initially consists of 20 squares numbered from 1 to 20, and the board must at all times have at least 1 square.
3. Any time a new square is added to the board, its number will be the integer one greater than that of the highest numbered square on the board at that time.
4. The successor of a square is the square which has the lowest value greater than the value of the current square. The successor of the highest numbered square is Square #1. A square is said to be the predecessor of its successor.
5. The squares are laid out two-dimensionally in a grid with 10 columns. Square #1 will be in the bottom left corner, and each successive square up to Square #10 can be found by moving right. Square #11 is above square #10, and each successive square up to Square #20 can then be found by moving left. This winding pattern continues for as many squares as there are on the board (similar to the layout of a Snakes and Ladders board), however, if the highest numbered square is not a multiple of 10, the last row will contain less than 10 squares. Also, the board layout may have gaps if all squares between Square #1 and the highest numbered square do not exist.
6. At all times during the game, each player will occupy exactly one square. A new player starts the game on Square #1.
7. If a player takes a turn or is instructed to "move" to a particular square, the player is said to leave his current square, land on the final square, and pass over each square in between.
8. If a player is instructed to "jump" to a particular square, he is said to leave his original square and land on the destination square, without passing over any squares.
9. The distance between two squares is the minimum number of moves required to get from one square to the other, where one move can be to the square either directly above, below, left, or right of the square in question.
10. Each square initially contains a random amount of resources ranging from $0 to $10000 in multiples of $1000. A player can only see the amount of resources in a square if he occupies that square or owns a unit or building on that square.
11. A square is adjacent to another square if it either directly above, below, left, or right of that square.
12. A player is said to "hold" a square if he owns at least one unit or building other than a railroad on that square.
13. A player is said to "own" a square if he owns at least one building other than a railroad on that square.
14. A square is "safe" if the owner of that square also owns all of the adjacent squares.

Turns

1. A player may take a turn at any time, provided that player has not taken a turn in the last 72 hours (3 days).
2. When a player takes a turn, he will roll two 6-sided dice and will move ahead on the board the number of squares indicated by the sum of the dice, and his experience will increase by 1.
3. Any time a player does not take a turn for 120 hours (5 days), that player will be fined $100 and automatically have a turn taken for him.

Proposals

1. A player may make a proposal at any time, provided that player does not currently have any proposals in the game that have "Voting" status and that player is not dead.
2. A proposal is one of the following:
   • The addition of a new rule
   • The deletion of an existing rule
   • The modification of an existing rule
   • A change to the game state which does not necessarily fit into one of the above categories
3. No proposal may make any reference to a characteristic of a player if that characteristic is immutable within the set of rules at the time the proposal is accepted, ignoring the fact that rules may change in the future.
4. No proposal may have retroactive application or take effect earlier than the moment it is implemented.
5. When a proposal is made, it is given "Voting" status.
6. 120 hours (5 days) after a proposal is made, if the proposal has more Yes votes than No votes, the proposal is accepted and moved into "Pending" status. If the proposal does not receive more Yes votes than No votes, the proposal is rejected and is moved into "Dead" status.
7. Once a "Pending" proposal has been implemented into the rules by the Admin, it is switched to "Dead" status.
8. Once voting on a proposal has been completed, the number of players who voted "Yes" and "No" on the proposal will be made public, however, each individual player's vote will not be revealed.
9. A proposal that is in "Voting" status may be retracted by the player who made it, providing that player is not dead. Retracting a proposal immediately puts it in "Dead" status.
10. The Admin has the right to refuse to implement any proposal that in his opinion is discriminatory, paradoxial, infeasible to implement, or destructive of gameplay.

Disruption of Gameplay

1. In the event that a paradox, infinite loop, or any situation arises that prohibits further gameplay, the game will be paused. The Admin also has the right to pause the game at any time if he feels there is a need to do so.
2. When the game is paused, players may not take any actions other than voting until the game is unpaused.
3. During a pause due to a disruption of gameplay, the players have the option to suggest to the Admin ideas on how to fix the game. The Admin will make a proposal, and the players will vote on it using the same procedure as a proposal made by a player. If the proposal is accepted, the proposal is implemented and the game is unpaused. If the proposal is rejected, the above process is repeated until the game is fixed.
4. In the event that the Nomopoly IV website suffers from an error which results in loss of data, the Admin will restore the game with data from a previous backup.
5. If a player has any Uncharged Soul Gems when a unit is killed on the same square as that player or an adjacent square, one of that player's Uncharged Soul Gems becomes Charged.

Ending the Game

1. The game will immediately end without a winner if the Admin is ever on the receiving end of a lawsuit from any board game manufacturer.
2. Once someone has been declared the winner, the game ends.
3. If there is only one player in the game who is not bankrupt, the non-bankrupt player is declared the winner.
4. If all units and buildings on the board are owned by the same player, then that player is declared the winner.
5. If any player's level is greater than or equal to 25, then that player is declared the winner. If multiple players would simultaneously win by this rule, then the player with the highest level is declared the winner. If multiple players would still simultaenously win, then out of those players, the player with the highest experience is declared the winner.

Units, Buildings, and Commands

1. A Unit is defined by the following properties, all of which are non-negative integers with fractional values rounded:
   • Name
   • InitialMaximum hit points (0 if not specified, and any references to "Initial Hit Points" are taken to mean "Maximum Hit Points")
   • Attack strength (0 if not specified)
   • Attack range (1 if not specified)
   • Armor (0 if not specified)
   • Speed (1 if not specified)
2. A Building is defined by the same properties as a Unit, excluding speed.
3. A Command is defined by the following properties:
   • Name
   • Which units/buildings can be issued the command (none if not specified)
   • Cool down time (none if not specified)
   • Effect associated with the command (none if not specified)
   An Enchantment is a subtype of Command, which also has a Duration property (1 day if not specified). If a unit/player is under the effects of an enchantment, that unit/player is said to be enchanted. If a unit/player would become enchanted by an enchantment of the same name, the duration of the enchantment is instead reset to reflect the new enchantment.
4. A player may own units or buildings. The unit or building will occupy a square on the board. A single square may not contain units or buildings owned by more than one player.
5. Upon creation, a unit/building has hit points equal to its maximum hit points value. If at any time a unit has hit points greater than its maximum hit points, the unit's hit points are set to it's maximum hit points. A unit/building that has 0 or less hit points is destroyed.
6. A unit or building may be issued Upona creationcommand, providing that the command is allowed to be issued to athat unit/building. After a command hasis issuedhit, pointsthe equaleffect toassociated itswith initialthe hitcommand pointstakes valueplace., and Athat unit/building may not be issued another command until the cool down time for that command has elapsed.

Experience and Levels

1. All players have the following three properties:
   • Experience (a non-negative integer, initially 0)
   • Level (an integer, initially 1)
   • State of Being (dead or alive, initially alive)
2. If at any time a player has experience greater than or equal to abs(level) * 10, then his experience is decreased by abs(level) * 10 and his level is increased by 1. If a player's level is equal to 0, "then abs(level) * 10" is replaced with "1" in the above formula.
3. If at any time a player has negative experience, his experience is set to 0 and his level is decreased by 1.
4. If a player's experience is ever a non-integer, it will be rounded down to the nearest integer.
5. If a player has a level less than or equal to 0, that player's State of Being becomes dead. This takes precedence over any other rule changing a player's State of Being. If a player has level greater than 0 and doesn't become dead by any other rule, his State of Being is alive.
6. A player receives 5 experience points whenever he directly causes another player's unit to be destroyed, and a player receives 20 experience points whenever he directly causes another player's building to be destroyed.

The Rber Ducky

1. The Bank Account of Terror contains Nomopoly dollars, initially $3
2. The Rber Ducky occupies a square on the board, and will move forward by the roll of a 6-sided dice every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
3. If the Rber Ducky ever occupies the same square as one or more players, the Rber Ducky goes berserk and attacks the nearby vicinity with pies. Any players occupying the same square as the Rber Ducky lose 10% of their money to the Bank Account of Terror and are pushed one square forward.

Action Restrictions

1. When performing an action that requires a number as a parameter, a player must select a non-negative integer unless the rule explicitly states otherwise.
2. No single action by any player may cause any player to gain or lose more than $100000.

Jumps

1. Each player has a non-negative integer property called Jumps, which is initially 0.
2. Every day at noon and midnight Central time, each player's Jumps property will be increased by 1.
3. At any time, a player may choose to jump to a square that he does not currently occupy and whose distance from his current square is less than or equal to his current Jumps value. The player's Jumps value is then decreased by the distance to the destination square and the player's Experience is increased by 1.
4. A player may at any time choose to decrease his Jumps value by 1.
5. If a player's Jumps value is ever greater than or equal to 10, that player is fined $100 and his Jumps value is set to 0.

? Boxes

1. At all times, exactly 10 squares on the board contain a "? box". If at any time there are less than 10 ? boxes on the board, a new ? box will be created on a randomly selected square that does not contain a ? box. If at any time there are more than 10 ? boxes on the board, a randomly selected ? box will be removed.
2. When a ? box is created, it will contain one item, randomly selected from all defined items, with the random selection weighted by the frequency values of the items.
3. A player who occupies a square that contains a ? box may take the item from the ? box. This causes the ? box to disappear.
4. If a ? box remains unopened on the board for 120 hours, the item in the ? box is given to the Dark Lord. Then, if there are currently any sell requests on the Public Market for that item, the Dark Lord will submit a sell request on that item, with a price equal to $1 less than the current lowest price of all sell requests for that item. When that sell request is fulfilled, the money paid for it goes into the Bank Account of Terror.

The Dark Lord's Shop of Terror

Minions and Lairs

Research

1. Every day at noon Central time, each player receives $50 for each Scientist he owns that is Researching.
2. Every day at midnight Central time, each player receives $25 for each Scientist he owns that is Counter-Researching, and if the total number of Scientists that are Counter-Researching is greater than the number of Scientists that are Researching, each player loses $25 for each Scientist he owns that is Researching and each player gains $25 for each Scientist he owns that is Counter-Researching.
3. If a Scientist that is Researching or Counter-Researching occupies a square that does not contain a Laboratory, that unit stops Researching or Counter-Researching.

The Experience Fairy

1. Every Sunday at noon GMT the Experience Fairy will appear on a randomly selected square.
2. Any player who occupies the same square as the Experience Fairy can perform the Receive Teaching action and gain 25 experience. This causes the Experience Fairy to be removed from the board.

   • Retract a Buy Request and receive the amount of money he paid when he submitted the Buy Request.
   • Fulfill a Buy Request by giving the item specified in the Buy Request to the player who made the Buy Request. The player then receives the amount of money specified in the Buy Request and the Buy Request is removed from the Public Market.
