       By: iqforu Date: January 17, 2011, 10:37 am

       Elections begin tomorrow, so I would like to commence a debate
       between all members running for Chairman.

       The role of the Supreme Nomic in our game, and from this answer,
       what the future should hold.

       The Supreme Nomic should be like a Constitution. It should
       specifically state the roles of the different parts of
       government, the rights of the players, and restrictions on all
       Nomics.
       The future of the game should use this to create a more perfect
       Nomic. All subNomics should be partially restricted but nothing
       that limits the creativity of Nomic. This is through a new
       Supreme Nomic of sorts. Or a fixed one.

       I firmly believe that the current Supreme Nomic ruleset
       currently upholds all these ideas. So I disagree with your
       assumption that we must demolish the current ruleset and restart
       completely.  I think the ruleset is 95% there (obviously it
       isn't flawless, I was exaggerating in our other debate) but it
       only requires minor changes.
       I think the fix to the judicial system will pretty much solve
       it, as well as your idea Chairman for allowing all players of
       all sub-nomics of Supreme Nomic to vote in elections.
       One thing I disagree in your stance on the future of our Supreme
       Nomic is regarding the economy.  I wonder if the system could be
       abused.  Example, a player could use a totalitarian dictatorship
       in his own nomic to give himself unlimited points (which could
       be attained quite easily by any of us), convert points into
       another's nomic, and take their power away.  I think games
       should be kept seperate; perhaps you could convert points to
       Newtons, but not into points of another nomic's currency.

       We'll take this point by point.
       I feel the same as you. I do not wish to trash what we have. I
       talked in my speeches about having great ideas put into place. I
       do feel that we need to fix larger sections and I wish for the
       Supreme Nomic to eventually be flawless, which is why I am
       trying to get smaller legislation passed to do so. In fact, the
       only MAJOR change that I was asking for was an economy.
       The judicial system does need work. Somehow, it just gives me a
       bad feeling. Something about it isn't working but I can't quite
       put my finger on it.
       The economy I realize is a testy idea, for sure. But, in the
       rule that I proposed about this, I specifically stated that "2)
       It is up to the other Nomics if they allow the transfer of money
       between subNomics." so I think that would fix your issue of
       taking over other subNomics. Also, I said that "A player may
       take money out of the Initial Billion dollars by the Chairman's
       Approval. This money may be used in any Nomic." In other words,
       it is up to the Chairman if they are allowed to transfer their
       points to Newtons. Also, if they happen to pay off the Chairman,
       the VicePresident can hold a hearing in that case.

       This is you, speaking here
  HTML http://nomic.createaforum.com/state-of-the-nomic-addresses/state-of-the-economy-jonathan-hunter-1152011/,<br
       />just yesterday. (referring to the Supreme Nomic ruleset)
       [quote]We could scrap our original ideals and create a brand new
       one from scratch.[/quote]
       Will all due respect, I think that scrapping the ruleset will
       not give the image of a stable nomic, which is something we so
       urgently need.
       The judicial system needs a round-table discussion, with all
       members of all nomics, to sort out how it will work. I will
       create that discussion now.
       I'm willing to work with you and the Secretary in crafting a
       economic system that will be effective in keeping the nomics
       balanced yet independent of one another.

       You seem to be taking words out of my mouth. You also stated
       that you felt the players were flawed. If the same players
       created the Supreme Nomic is it possible, then that the Supreme
       Nomic is perfect? Show me one thing that was done by a flawed
       person that turned out perfect.
       I truthfully do not want to scrap the ruleset. I said that as a
       suggestion. And that's exactly what it is, just like saying we
       can completely scrap the site and go back to playing on paper.
       It's just a suggestion. I in no way wish for this to happen but
       if that is what we agree on, I will try my best to found a new
       one.
       With the Judicial system, I did post a new idea for it if you
       would like to look at it.
       As with the economics, we need to really work on that. There is
       a proposal. We just need to fix it.
