Thought it would be a good idea to make one of these public. That, and a clan which is itself a game would be awesome without words.
Clan Name: The Nomic Guild
Founding Warlock: MikeEB
Meeting Place: Guild Hall
Clan Colors: As described in the most recent post of the "Clan Symbols" thread
Symbol: As described in the most recent post of the "Clan Symbols" thread
Personality traits associated with the clan's members:
Interest in playing metagames, a desire to build clan culture from the ground up and raw creativity.
Short Description (1 paragraph minimum):
The Nomic Guild thrives on flux. Any aspect of the Guild is subject to change, as required by its members. There are strict rules for doing so, of course, to keep things democratic.
But the ultimate nature of Nomic means that even these strict rules are subject to change. In such changes lie the true power of the game of infinite rules.
Brief History of the Clan:
In 2006, the young proto-Warlock Mike discovered the Nomic Scroll, which contained the rules for a game more powerful than any other. In 2007, having mastered the game of infinite rules, he invaded the plane of Warlocks. In 2008, he found his opportunity to read the scroll...
-- Optional Questions --
Any historical, mythical, literary, etc. figures (or retired warlocks) the clan is connected to / feels are important: Peter Suber
Favored spells or tactics: Changing the rules in the middle of the game via permanency, delay or even elementals.
Motivation for pursuing the orb: The core of Nomic is in changing the rules. The power to change someone else's rules is too tempting to pass up.
Other symbolic stuff:Refer to the "Clan Symbols" thread.
-- Technical Questions --
Intra-Clan Ties resolved by: The methods presented in the most recent valid reply to the "Clan Rules and Procedures" thread.
Daimon title bestowed based on: The methods presented in the most recent valid reply to the "Clan Rules and Procedures" thread.
Elder title bestowed based on: The methods presented in the most recent valid reply to the "Clan Rules and Procedures" thread. (Seeing a pattern here?)
Any other internal positions: As required by the most recent valid reply to the "Clan Rules and Procedures" thread. (This is Nomic.)
Process to choose the next league rule: Selected from the "Potential League Rules" thread via the methods presented in the most recent valid reply to the "Clan Rules and Procedures" thread.
Process to join the clan:
Do you accept members who were previously in another clan (Y/N): As long as the Clan Rules and Procedures permit it.
Is there a loyalty oath (Y/N): There may be an initiation ritual inlcuding a loyalty oath required by the Clan Rules and Procedures.
Is there a sigil that members are *required* to place on their warlocks profile (Y/N): If there is, refer to the most recent valid post of the "Clan Symbols" thread
Can members be ejected for any reason? If so, what is the ejection process: Yes; the ejection process is described in the Clan Rules and Procedures. In addition, members can be ejected by modifying the Clan Rules and Procedures to permit their ejection.
Process to change the clan description: Easy; simply follow the appropriate provision of the Clan Rules and Procedures document.
