I did not! Although it did cross my mind that you were overthinking things a tad.

What's more unfortunate is the complete lack of interest in this game after the first ~6 hours of intense activity... demure? you there?

This is a common feature of this game. Unless you provide incentives to continue playing it, Nomic is quickly abandoned. Without a short time limit on ratification, people simply forget about it.

Makes sense. Also, some references to the game I've read on various websites mention turns, as though it's not just a madhouse of people proposing and voting but that they take turns proposing rules and the rules are voted on before new rules can be proposed. But perhaps that is just a lingering mechanic from a time when the game was played via email/message board rather than a more dynamic environment such as hubski.

I'm alive. I set an arbitrary period of 48 hours for the first set of rules on rules....

I would shorten it to 24 hours maximum (or 6 hours minimum).
