Each Nomicbot has Instructions, a Name, a Banner and a Memory Capacity. A Nomicbot's Instructions is a text document with instructions about its behavior. A Nomicbot's Instructions is blank by default. A Nomicbot's name is a string, defaulting to "Nomicbot". A Nomicbot's Banner is a switch with values of Risen or Lowered, defaulting to Lowered. A Nomicbot's Memory Capacity in a numerical switch, which defaults to 100. Any player CAN create a Nomicbot in eir possession by announcement by destroying 1 ore. A Player can change their Nomicbot's Name or Banner by announcement. A Player CAN destroy X of their corn and stone to cause modifications to the text of the Instructions of one of their Nomicbots which involve adding or removing up to X*3 characters (e.g. adding A characters and removing B characters, where A+B < X), by announcement, unless this would cause its Instructions to have more characters than its Memory Capacity, in which case its INEFFECTIVE. A Player CAN destroy 1 of their fabric per 50 Memory Capacity a Nomicbot they own has, to increase the Memory Capacity of that Nomicbot by 50, by announcement. Nomicbots can Battle, and there is a Battle at the Main Arena among all eligible Nomicbots at the start of each Month, hosted by the Botmastor - this is the Monthly Battle. A Nomicbot is eligible if they are the only Nomicbot belonging to a player with a Banner with a value of Risen. If a Nomicbot wins the Monthly Battle, their owner earns 1/Z Merit (a non-transferable and indestructible asset), where Z is the amount of Nomicbots which won that Battle. When a player has 1 Merit, they win the game and lose all their Merit. Nomicbot Battles are games of Nomic, played according to the Arena they take place at along: - With the players being the Nomicbots - All Judge and interpretation requirements specific to the Battle defaulting to the Botmastor. - If the result of a Nomicbot's Instructions at a situation is not unambiguous or determinate, or overly rely on external information, that Nomicbot crashes at that moment, and is then removed from play from that Battle. - If the Battle would never end, it instead ends with nobody as the winner. Arenas are rulesets of Nomic, tracked by the Botmastor, and Arenas have a Status switch of Main or Secondary (defaulting to Secondary). The Botmastor CAN add or remove a Secondary Arena with 2 Agoran Consent. The Botmastor CAN set the Status of an Arena to Main with 2 Agoran Consent. Doing this sets the Status of all other Arenas to Secondary . The Botmastor is an Office. The Botmastor shall publish a report within the first week of each month with: - The results of the Monthly Battle and their processing of it (and CAN and SHALL do this manual processing). - The Instructions, Name, Banner, Memory Capacity and owner of each Nomicbot. ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- Then, add Peter Suber's original Nomic Initial Ruleset as a Main Arena. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: pp1 Title: Free Tournaments Adoption index: 1.0 Author: G.
