The Nomic TBS is effectively a more structured game of nomic. In it, there are effectively two games...

The TBS: In which, four players attempt to eliminate each other through whatever means are availible.
The Nomic Council: Which are 5 players whom watch over the TBS and vote on game changing rules, these rules may effect the TBS, or even how the Nomic Council operates.

These two will likely interact strongly with each other.

And now the rules, which will change, a lot.

Spoiler: The Rules (click to show/hide)

Core Structure:

-There are two phases, the TBS Phase, and the Nomic Phase.
-The two phases begin and end upon declaration by the thread creator(Tylui).
-The game ends when one TBS player remains.

Nomic:

-Rule changes may be referred to as 'subjects'.
-Members of the Nomic Council may propose subjects.
-Members of the Nomic Council may vote upon subjects.
-If a subject has majority favor, the rules are changed accordingly.
-There may be no more than 5 subjects to be voted upon during a Nomic Phase.
-There will be a period of 24 hours for subjects to be chosen, then 24 hours for voting.
-If all subjects have been decided upon, then the voting period may commence early.
-If all subjects have been voted upon by all Nomic Council members, then the turn may be resolved early.
-The thread creator(Tylui) may vote on subjects in the nomic phase, his vote counts as 4 votes.
-The thread creator(Tylui) may not vote on subjects for this or the previous ruling's removal.

TBS:

-There will be a period of 24 hours for players to send in their moves to the thread creator via PM.
-Failure to send in a move results in the turn progressing without action from that player.
-If all players have made their moves, then the turn may be resolved early.
-Gameplay is in reference to an image which will serve as a map.
-Each TBS player has an HQ, which when destroyed removes them from the game.
-TBS players may create one 'invention' per TBS Phase, which modify the game rules much like a nomic subject. If this invention is a unit, it may be constructed at their HQ on subsequent TBS Phases. Rules for inventions are added to a unique spoiler for that player.
-All TBS players have access to a 'Soldier' unit, which can move at 1 square per turn. If a Soldier moves into a space occupied by an enemy unit or structure, that unit or structure is destroyed.
-An HQ can only produce 1 unit per turn.
-Each space may only contain 1 unit or structure at any given time.
-Nothing can be placed or moved outside the cobblestone borders of the map.
-There are several terrain types with unique rules for units:

• Grass is your basic type of terrain.
• Cobblestone is completely and utterly impassable.
• Forests take two moves to move though for vehicles and offer a 25% chance of survival for units that are killed in them.
• Water can only be moved over by units with the ability to do so.
• Hills increase the range of fire by one and take two moves for vehicles to move though.
• Magma can only be crossed by flying units.

-Arguing too much can result in a Pineapple Demon attacking the offending players units.
-Cobble borders can be destroyed by special units, and terrain outside the starting map can be explored. New terrain will be randomly generated as this happens.

-There are several resources:

• Wood.
• Stone.
• Metal.
• Food.
• Energy.

These are the invention fields for each player.

(Yes, I did add the ability for me to vote upon Nomic subjects, this is for me to have some control over any subjects that might horribly break the game, I left a way to strip me of that power if anyone thinks I might abuse it. And it can be countered by unanimous decision.)

For the third subject, "Further Resource Implementation", how should this be decided? Should I come up with the methods? And while the Nomic players discuss this:

TBS TURN! GO!

[Criptfeind]

Yeah. I don't know. Just generic I guess.

[Furtuka]

what criptfeind said

[Taricus]

Mind changing the title per phase?

[SHAD0Wdump]

I can get you the resources for the maps...

I used maptool. I'll upload the sprites and campaign save and link them here if you are willing to use that program.
