I can't make it, but I've been mulling over the idea of trying to get a bunch of LWers to experiment with the general forms of internet nomic play and group-group interactions. The idea that's kicking around in my head is to get a big list of names of interested people and randomly assign them to groups of 2-4 who meet in IRC and run a very low structure initial nomic of the sort Keven has talked about in the past, except with chat logs for posterity.

These could evolve however they evolve... but the vague intent would be for one or more of them to run over long-ish periods of time (maybe on mailing lists or web pages or FB pages or whatever they use as a longer term medium), and then, in the weeks/months after the smaller nomics get settled (or collapse or have someone a benevolent dicatator or whatever) we could try to merge the survivors somehow into a larger thing that respects as many of the the cool ideas as possible.

It is worth noting that Nomics have, in the past, been played enjoyably over the net, and over an extended period by a social group with a mixture of net and live meetings: Elemental Oblivion

Hey, can someone PM me the address real fast? The meetup is in two hours and I didn't realize it wasn't posted somewhere... :|

I'm going to come next weekend.

Do you ever come to Canada?

Never heard of this but am severely intellectually deprived from working in a cubicle (ala as I type) so am interested in learning more
