proposals made after the player is instated.

incident and call a hearing. They shall make a post in the
Hearings board with the subject "Hearing: X" (replacing X with a
summary of the incident). The Vice-Chairman shall post any and
all relevant information regarding the incident in this post.
Then, the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and Secretary will discuss
the incident in the hearing. The Vice-Chairman may specifically
invite any others to this discussion.
3. Once the Vice-Chairman believes the discussion to be
complete, they shall post the Vice-Chairman's Report. The
Report shall include:
a. The parties accused and accusing as a result of the
hearing
b. The ruling of the Vice-Chairman on the incident
(either guilty or not-guilty)

their ruling

for the offense.

party may notify the Chairman of appeal of the verdict of the
Report. If the Chairman and Secretary both disagree with the
verdict made by the Vice-Chairman, the Chairman shall write the
Chairman's Report. The Chairman's Report completely negates the
Vice-Chairman's Report.
5. The accusing party of accused party may also appeal the
penalty of the Report by notifying the Chairman. The Chairman,
Vice-Chairman, and Secretary then most vote on what the new
penalty should be, and after a decision is made, the Report

g. Incorrect voting procedures.
3. All procedures must be followed exactly as they are

S9. Supreme Nomic Bank and Currency
1. There will be a Supreme Bank. The money will be in the
terms of dollars and cents. The money will be known as Supreme
Currency or SC. Every player, dictator or lower player, has an
account with the Supreme Nomic with this money in it.
a. The Supreme Nomic has a Vault. This initially has
$1,000,000,000.00 in it. Every player starts with $100.00 of
this number.
2. Every week at noon on Monday, the interest kicks in and
adds 1% to everyone's accounts. (So, if you have $100.00, you
get a dollar a week. If you have $1,000,000,000, you will get
$10,000.00 a week. Your interest only works if you keep your
money in the Vault. To put money in the vault, ask the Chairman.
3. The money of the Supreme Nomic may be used in ANY
subNomic.
a. It is up to the other Nomics if they allow the
transfer of money between subNomics.
4. The Chairman may grant grants toward different projects.
All grants are listed below and may be added as they are created
without having to create an amendment:
a. "Innovative Choices Grant"-- If the Chairman,
Vice-Chairman, and Secretary feel that the Dictator of a certain
subNomic is creating a gaming environment that is creating high
new player appeal, they may grant them a sum up to $1,000.
b. "Hold-Up Grant"-- If a Nomic is failing
economically, the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and Secretary may
grant the dictator a sum up to $1,000,000.
c. "Jump Start Grant"-- Every time a new Nomic starts,
they will receive $1,000,000. This may only happen once per
dictator. (In other words, if one player opens up two Nomics,
only one of his or her choice will receive the grant.)
5. If the Supreme Nomic gains more and more dollars, the
value of the dollar goes down by .1% per fifty thousand. If the
Supreme Nomic loses more and more dollars, the value of the
dollar goes up by .1% every fifty thousand. If the Nomic falls
into the negative, the game may still be played and points may
still be dealt but the game is officially in a recession.
