Rule

Text	The game of Nomicron consists of a set of rules. Each rule has three parts: a number, a title, and text. All players must endeavor to abide by all rules currently in effect, in the form in which they are in effect. The rules may specify consequences for players who violate the rules.

-   3.1  Players

Rule
Keywords	Players
Text	A player of Nomicron is a person who actively participates in the game. Each player has a player name by which they are referred to in Nomicron. A player chooses a name when joining Nomicron and may only change it during the convention. While the game is in convention, an individual becomes a player when a motion to make them a player passes. During the round, the rules may specify how an individual becomes a player or loses player status. At the end of a convention, any player who has neither voted on a motion nor posted to the public forum for the prior two weeks ceases to be a player.

Rule
Keywords
Text	The public forum is a means to communicate with other players. Any communications sent to the public forum shall be available to all active players.

-   5.1  Motions

Rule
Keywords
Text	When the game is in convention, the convention floor is either open or closed. At the beginning of each convention, the floor is open. While the floor is open, any active player may submit motions to the public forum. Such motions may describe any number of changes to be made to any aspect of the game, including ending the game. However, a motion to begin the next round may not be made while the floor is open. The floor closes when a motion to close the floor passes. While the floor is closed, the only motions players may submit are to reopen the floor or to begin the next round. When a motion to begin the next round passes, all unresolved motions are discarded, and the next round begins.

-   6.1  Voting on Motions

Rule
Keywords
Text	Votes on motions must be sent to the administrator or their designee. Each active player may vote once on each motion. If a player submits multiple votes, the last vote received shall be considered that player's one and only vote on the motion. A motion remains up for vote until one week passes or all active players have voted on it, whichever comes first. A motion to end the game requires unanimous acceptance among cast votes to pass; other motions require acceptance by a 2/3 majority among cast votes to pass. If a motion passes, the changes to the game it describes are immediately put into effect. It is the duty of whoever collects the votes to accurately report the passage or failure of each motion, along with all votes cast on that motion, in a timely fashion.
