Website

This website serves two main purposes:


Nomic Bot

The Nomic Bot Discord bot is used to manage the NAS from the Nomic Discord server, or through Discord direct messages.

Commands

Nomic Bot commands can be executed through global/guild-specific slash commands, or by prepending the command prefix $ to the command and space-delimited arguments.


Propositions

All in-game propositions should be made in the #propositions channel on the Nomic Discord guild.

Syntax

When making a proposition, it is always best to use a syntax the same as, or similar to, that of the other players.
This is mostly for clarity and human-readability, though in the future the automation system will attempt to automatically parse your propositions, and if they use invalid syntax that may cause issues.
If you don't like the syntax that other players are using, you can modify it (within reason) to suit your needs, but if you do, ensure that you remain consistent for the rest of the game.

So with that said, it is preferable that you use recent propositions as a reference on how to format your proposition. If you need any more clarity, see below:

The following is the official template you should use to format your propositions:
**[Modification Type]**
> [Path] - [Title]
[Content]

**[Modification Type]**
> [Path] - [Title]
[Content]

[Repeat as necessary]


[Modification Type] = The type of modification being made to the rule tree.
Options include:
[Path] = The "path" (location on the rule tree) of the rule you are adding/modifying/removing.
There are 2 accepted ways to format the path: Note: Every rule has a unique "Global ID" which is an integer assigned to it when it is accepted into the rule tree (which makes the global ID chronological). This can also be used to refer to rules, though for the purposes of human readability it is recommended that you use a path.

[Title] = The title of the rule you are adding/modifying/removing.
If you use a Title Path to refer to your rule, the title of the rule should be included as part of the path, so including the title separately is redundant and should be avoided to prevent confusion.
If you use the ID Path, although not strictly necessary in modifications, it is highly recommended that you include the title of the rule. If it is an addition, a title is always necessary.

[Content] = The functional part of your rule.
For most purposes, this is the only part of your proposition that really matters.
The content of a rule needs to be easily understandable and entirely objective. Anything up to interpretation can (and will) cause loopholes or other issues, so ensure that you check your wording (and spelling) to prevent those issues from ever appearing.

The following is a portion of an exemplar proposition (link) made using all recommended syntax:
