Awesome. Consider playing the no initial ruleset game of nomic, rather than the overly convoluted rules from the initial proposal. Nomic is much more meta when you have to come up with a way to allow for making rules.
Well, if you have 6 people in a circle and want to play nomic but don’t have any rules, what would you do?
You’d have to start by coming up with the mechanism by which rules are put into place. You’d have to define a rule, voting, consensus, recording, etc. It’s very possible.
The one time I successfully did this was at Burning Man two years ago, and I think it took around an hour before the first rule was written on pad of legal paper. ’Twas a great game.

Interesting. Could you elaborate on this a little more?
