This gives me an idea! An....unrelated...idea...BRB
The fact that this parent comment is clearly up-voted and this comment is "greyed out" is emblematic of what I personally think is wrong with HN commenting. The above comment is not helpful, productive, and is unnecessarily negative in tone. The below comment is unhelpful, unproductive, and playful and (if anything) positive in tone. We can't have playful comments but we can have useless negative comments?
We can't have either.

#63this might be a joke, but this is a serious problem i have as well. i want to create something, but i don't know what to do.. there is nothing i need that is not already done, or at least thats why i think.
Here are some of my super secret ideas that will help you take over the world. If you use any of these ideas you agree to remember me when you get rich (you don't actually have to give me any money, just drink champagne and think happy thoughts about me) - Group purchasing for work - what if you wanted to break the cost of a Foosball table up over a group of people. It's cheap if you have enough people involved. - Ap…

Pretty neat idea, although GoCatch isn't very big here in Brisbane!

Only slightly more structured.

#66Someone has already submitted a pull request changing the readme so that it says he'll accept nothing. However, I think this can be rejected under the "don't be a dick" rule.

Wow, so many memories you've just unearthed. I haven't played a nomic-based game since I was a teenager.
My online friends and I had a series of mostly text-based nomic instances where we would creatively write and world build, but there was this one crazy performance art piece where we hacked a phpBB instance to grant every user admin privileges. The experiment was in relative harmony for a few days before the first rounds of deletes and IP bans. After one or two attempts to regain equilibrium, there were rampant impersonations, terrible javascript popup spam and redirect loops, and disappearing server files (the joys of using PHP prior to formal CS education and any form of engineering discipline...). Finally we acknowledged that the experiment had been a great success when all HTTP requests returned 500s--testament, at least in our minds, of the ultimate fate of mankind if ever given absolute and unlimited power.
Then there was that time we piped say yes to each other's terminals, somehow creating a pospositive feedback loop. Or those dotfiles that brought down the whole server... none of that stuff was very nomic related, but ah... teenage years.
The hosting company certainly loved us. :') I hope every one of them got a raise for having to deal with our endless support tickets as a result of our own foolish and stupid games.
Anyhow, very astute parallel to draw.

I appreciate the memories / feels.

If the purchase is for the workplace, even something recreational for the employees, the company should pay for it. There should be a fun-budget for such things. Group purchasing is still an interesting idea, I just don't think the example's a great one.
A lot of workplaces don't work like that! I know my small non-profit can't go buying appliances, but we recently went in as a team on a sodastream and it would have been great to have a system to track it more than someone putting the cash up front.
FYI, there are mod kits for sodastream machines to connect them to large CO2 tanks. I installed one on mine recently, love it so far.

Yes, I was very sad and frustrated about that the first and only time I went to a hackathon.

I tried that at one point with a coworker: https://github.com/alokmenghrajani/nomic
We added a way to vote using public keys and then we got bored because nobody else was geeky enough to join our game.
