So, I opened up chapter 4 in Metamagical Themas where Hofstadter describes and writes about Nomic, it is interesting to me that so many of the rules were later changed for playing the game by mail or computer. Rule 210 explicitly states that players cannot conspire or consult on the making of future rules, and ends there. So originally all of this conversation would not have been allowed. Simple changes like this change the gameplay so much. I can't imagine playing this by mail, it must have taken ages.

How long do you feel players should be given from the point the debate ends and the final form of the proposal is submitted (given that this can end at any time) to when they must cast their vote?

My problem isn't so much with a 24 hour voting window, it was with the idea that wording could change or amendments could be implied during the 24 hours while players were offline. Rereading the discussion, I see that this may have already been part of the suggestion. Is there a finalized wording that you have in mind?

@kas, I'm unsure what the cost is that is incurred with quadratic voting. Would we be putting up points to vote?

In my opinion 24 hours appears to be too short of a timespan. Specially if the wording of the rule can change at the last minute while people are offline (asleep). I'm also unsure how one leave a vote in our current setup. The gameplay at this point is still a little unclear to me.
