>One of my friends returned from vacation, bringing tales of a strange game
>similar to some that I knew but much more freeform. I looked it up, and 
>soon
>a face game had started among myself and some associates. Our ruleset,
>however, soon became terminally screwed, and I began to look elsewhere for
>Nomic to play. I found this game on December 10, 5 days after its creation,
>and joined about a week later.

-[[I entered during nweek 6, after hearing a couple of friends of mine 
talking about some Nomic game they were playing online. Having a smidge of 
experience with the game, I looked around and happened upon B Nomic. Being 
foolish, I read the ruleset and joined within one evening, and barely 
managed to do anything useful for three nweeks, during which time I managed 
to look silly and piss of uin. Ah, good times... then a friend and I came up 
with a huge "tech tree" of Gnomes. The rest most of you know. Vote yes on 
the PGGB prop!]]-

> > Thousands of times, even.  Wonko enjoys it, and BvS points out
> > if bd really could be kicked once for every CFI (it's been called
> > Unbridled Hostility by some), it would be a very interesting way to
> > win (5 points per kick).  Of course, this can't happen, because even
> > if what he did was kickable, you can only get kicked once per forum
> > message.
>
>But we're not kicking em for eir forum message - we're kicking em for
>actions taking therein. E may not be kicked twice for the same action 
>taken,
>but the per forum thing is for issues where the kick is delivered not for
>what game action e took, but for what message e sent (for example, if e 
>were
>to send an HTML message).
>
>I believe I can kick em 1001 times, once per offensive action taken.
>
>The Baron, however, cannot perform all those kicks, as I already kicked bd
>for all those actions.

-[[But I'm kicking em for a different reason. I claim e took two actions 
with each CFI: perpetuating a hoax /and/ being unbridledly hostile. It's 
like if I sent a chain letter out in HTML. That would be two Kickable 
actions, wouldn't it?]]-
>
>I would then like to point out that the buttplates rule does not supercede
>the kicking rule; therefore, while bd does gain the attribute 'buttplated',
>it does not stop me from gaining well over 1000 points (5005, to be exact),
>or from gaining the attribute 'Supreme Kicker of Asses'.

-[[And once we're done with Wonko's victory, I win. And get the attribute. 
It might also be noted (although I'm not sure I'm right) that 1000 kicks in 
the Ass qualifies as 1000 actions, which means Wonko's Entropy will hit 500, 
then, post-entropic blowup, mine will. Cue another blowup.]]-
