I miss Nomic. I played a few games of it back in, wow, 1995?
There were a good number of people playing online versions like Ackanomic and Internomic.
Great game with lots of high-level cleverness.

I'd love to be able to come up with something like Nomic in which the rules are expressed in a programming language.
I suspect it would be incredibly cumbersome, but it's on my list of things to try.

Pure Nomic works really well as a geek drinking game, try it.
interesting, immediately reveals the flaws of democracy.
reminds me of Flux
Hey look, it's congress!
