'''NomicWiki''' is a collaborative maintenance of various documents related to the Game Of [[wp:Nomic|Nomic]]; also, hosting of Nomic games. It was originally hosted at [http://web.archive.org/web/20090125221225/http://www.nomic.net/~nomicwiki/index.php/NomicWiki Nomic.net] using the {{tag|PhpWiki}} wiki engine {{tag|Wiki NoLicense|without a license}}, and this went offline. It is now hosted at NomicWiki.inclumedia.org and uses the {{tag|MediaWiki}} software. | |||

This is where it tends to get mystical, because as a result of these rule changes, the game you are playing will change from moment to moment. The nature of the rule changing mechanism might change from democratic to capitalist, to totalitarian, to whatever. Or the ability to change the rules might be removed entirely - perhaps the game will turn into chess, or tag, or snap. The future of the game is entirely in the hands of the players. | This is where it tends to get mystical, because as a result of these rule changes, the game you are playing will change from moment to moment.
