+I have been reading through the Cases for Judgement archive of Agora
+Nomic, and their contents can really get interesting:
+
+- [CFJ 1676][1], calling for judgement on the fact that "this is a CFJ".
+  It has been judged as TRUE, making the term "this" refer to the CFJ
+  while it was being created by the usual sentence used in messages
+  "I call for judgement on the statement '…'".
+- [CFJ 1677][2], calling for judgement on "this is not a CFJ".
+  It has been judged as FALSE, using the previous CFJ as proof.
+
+And I found the rather recent [CFJ 3815][3], in which a player submitted a
+proposal for amending an existing rule, titled "Judicial Jocularity Act"
+but with a special 'font' faked using Unicode code points in the
+Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block. The player asked whether or not
+this was a valid title, and it has been judged as TRUE.
+
+I feel like I could just register and immediately appeal this judgement
+with the argument that screen readers [would absolutely break][4] on this
+title: they could read it as "Mathematical script capital J
+mathematical script small u mathematical script small d…", making the
+title absolutely unbearable to read, and breaking the precedent set by
+[CFJ 3530][5] in terms of understandability.
+
+This reminds me that the proposal system in Agora now works far more
+differently than what was intended by the original rules of Nomic: the
+entire concept of a turn has been completely removed, and anyone can
+play at any time just by sending an email (an announcement).  That way,
+one can send any number of proposals to change the rules, which are then
+processed in batches by the Promotor, then resolved by the Assessor once
+the voting ends, and registered by the Rulekeepor. Those three names are
+official positions at which players can get elected.
+
+If you want to read the Agoran ruleset some more, I found an
+[easier to read version][6] of the rules in HTML.

+This is what brings me back to this paragraph of mine:

+
+My main thought about using Git is pretty much that we could remove the
+entire turn system, which would definitely make things easier when we
+work in such an asynchronous way here.  This would require to either
+write a custom ruleset to being the game with, or spending quite a long
+time destroying the rules turn by turn until the turn system ceases to
+exist.
+
+I found [a Git repository][7] made by a townie for a game of Nomic that
+apparently lasted for over a year, where players would take turns
+creating pull requests given a limit of 48 hours, and issues can be used
+to ask questions or call for judgements at any time.  This seems usable
+assuming at least one person follows the rhythm of the game, but what if
+everyone is suddenly away for 48 hours? or what if i am away from
+multiple turns for any reason other than being too lazy to play,
+wouldn't that be unfair to me in terms of winning the game?  And trying
+to keep up with who's turn it is is going to be hard again with just Git
+and NNTP.
+
+I can definitely try to rewrite the rules a little bit so we could have
+a basic Git-compatible ruleset if you are okay with it.
+
+There is a Wiki for a now dead game of Nomic played on the XKCD forums [8]; the
+game might have been killed just by the instant closure of said forums
+after a database leak.
