>Does the arena reset every game? If not, should it? Nope. The Arena versatility is mostly there so that possible errors/impasses in the subgame can be solved more easily just in case, and if we want to add variants like "you can't vote AGAINST twice in a row", or adding "there is a voting order,

Re: DIS: Proto: Nomicbots

I like this quite a bit. I think that this indeed has a lot of potential to be fun. For the expanding price, you could model it off of how I described increasing upkeep costs and production in PAoaM. So add a level switch to each bot and say something like "A player can destroy 4n corn and 4n

That looks really good. For the quadratic, maybe something like: (I'm sure the language on these would need fixing first) "A Nomicbot's capacity is a positive integer switch defaulting to 1. A Player CAN, by announcement, destroy (X+1) ore, where X is the value of an owned Nomicbot's capacity, to

If that's true, it really needs to make that more clear in the proposal because I missed it entirely on my first read-through. El 26 feb. 2018 10:24, "Gaelan Steele" escribió: > Bots live in a subgame—they can't vote on "real" proposals. > > Gaelan > > > On Feb 26, 2018, at

Re: DIS: Proto: Nomicbots

Not a player, but a fun way to avoid this would be that if a bot's action is paradoxical, unreadable, unspecified, etc, it explodes, is removed from the game, is removed from the duel, and automatically loses. So a clever bot could do proposal "all players that vote no on this proposal win the

Re: DIS: Proto: Nomicbots

This proposal is full of holes. To list a few: Do bots use their creator's voting power or do they have their own? If the former, these are basically less useful contracts. If the latter, what's to say this isn't easily scammable for voting power, considering several bots can be created each week

“Vote for all proposals which would benefit this bot” Love the basic idea, though. Just needs to be written out a little more clearly. Gaelan > On Feb 26, 2018, at 5:59 AM, Cuddle Beam wrote: > > Some way to use our resources for a "minigame". You can spend them to

DIS: Proto: Nomicbots

Some way to use our resources for a "minigame". You can spend them to get more consonants and vowels for a "bot" (which "runs" on natural language rather than any software language) to win a monthly game. For example, you could start off with a bot that just has "Always propose ' I win and the
