Right. Since the list seems to be working, I hereby declare that I=20
acknowledge the authority of the rules of the game to define the behaviour=
=20
of the game, and therefore that the game exists.

The website for the game, at present, is:
         http://www.srcf.ucam.org/nomic This mailing list will be initially=
=20
used for communication, and messages can be broadcast to the other players=
=20
by emailing them to:
=09nomic-talk@srcf.ucam.org

The rules, at present, are as follows:

1. Existence of the Game These rules describe the behaviour of a Nomic=20
game. The game and all entities existing within it have a persistent state=
=20
which can only change as described by the rules.

2. Mutability of the Rules The rules may change in the course of the game=
=20
as specified here. A change to the rules must and may only take place when=
=20
a Consensus of Opinion, as defined by the rules, exists with respect to=20
that particular change to the rules.

3. List of Voters The game shall contain a list of names which refer to=20
specific entities in the real (extranomic) world. At the start of the game,=
=20
this list shall contain the names of Adam Biltcliffe, Carrie Oliver, David=
=20
Birch, John-Joseph Wilks, Jonathan Amery, Martin O'Leary, Martin Lester,=20
Michael Cripps and Stuart Moore.

4. Consensus of Opinion A Consensus of Opinion on a particular change to=20
the rules exists when one entity named on the List of Voters proposes the=
=20
change to all other entities named on the List of Voters and obtains=20
unambiguous consent to that change from each such entity.

Let the game begin!
