Nomic?

I'm mildly curious as to if we've got some people who'd be up for a game of Nomic.

Nomic is basically a game of rules.  The basic outline of the game is that people take turns proposing rules; you score points by getting rules passed or voting against rules that do pass.  You win by either getting 100 points, or by somehow getting passed such a screwed up rule that you can't finish your turn.

Or at least, so it begins.  Considering that you're making new rules, and can modify or repeal any rule (including the one that says you have to obey the rules), I think you can see it getting a little more complicated very quickly.


This link has some information on the game, for the curious:

Anyway, I'm curious to try, and it could be funny.  ^^  The game would be quite long term, but tossing in rules to handle people leaving the game and new people entering wouldn't be too hard, so what the hell.

Hey!  Earlham!  That's my first choice college.  I was gonna pass... but Rez, AIM me.  It sounds interesting, I guess.

This thread has been kicked, 'cause I got a couple of expressions of interest.  So if anyone's interested, let me know.  XD
