The Rules
1. All players must at all times abide by the rules. No player may ever perform any action that violates any rule in the current set of rules.
2. The current set of rules is provided only as a convenience for interpreting the accepted proposals. In a conflict between a rule and the proposal that created it, the proposal is considered to be correct.
3. In the event that two or more rules contradict at any time, the following resolving scheme will be used:
  - If one of the rules defers to another rule or explicitly states that it takes precedence over the other, then that rule will take priority.
  - If the above situation does not resolve the conflict, the rule which has been in its current form for the longest amount of time will take priority.
4. All actions are subject to approval by the Admin. An illegal action may be reverted by the Admin even if the website allows the player to take that action.
The Admin
1. The Admin for Nomopoly V is Jeff Yakel.
2. The Admin is responsible for maintaining the Nomopoly V website and interpreting the rules.

4. Any player that does not log in to the Nomopoly V website for 21 days will be removed from the game.

Trade
1. Players may trade the following objects with each other by agreement of the players involved in the trade:
  - Money
  - Items, unless the item in question is specifically marked as untradeable
  - Ownership of buildings
  - Secret word hints (after trading a secret word hint, both players involved in the trade will have the hint)
  - Bonds
The Board
1. The game takes place on two Nomopoly boards, the A-board and the M-board, each of which consists of an ordered sequence of squares. Each square has an integer number.
2. Each board initially consists of 20 squares numbered from 1 to 20.
3. Any time a new square is added to the board, a sibling for the new square will also be created. Their numbers will be the lowest whole number that is not the number of a square at that time. Any time a square is destroyed, its sibling square will also be destroyed. All players occupying a square when it is destroyed are immediately placed on the Null Space. All objects on a square when it is destroyed are also destroyed.
4. The successor of a square is the square on the same board which has the lowest number greater than the number of the square in question. The successor of the highest numbered square on a board is the lowest numbered square on the same board. A square is said to be the predecessor of its successor.
5. The squares on each board are laid out two-dimensionally in a grid with 6 columns. Square #1 is in the bottom left corner, and each successive square up to Square #6 can be found by moving right. Square #7 is above Square #6, and each successive square up to Square #12 can then be found by moving left. This winding pattern continues for as many squares as there are on the board (similar to the layout of a Snakes and Ladders board), however, if the highest numbered square is not a multiple of 6, the last row will contain less than 6 squares. Also, the board layout may have gaps if all squares between Square #1 and the highest numbered square do not exist.
6. At all times during the game, each player occupies exactly one square. A new player upon joining the game will start on ~~Square~~the #1first square of the A-board.
7. If a player is instructed to "move" to a particular square, he is said to leave his current square, land on the destination square, and pass over each square in between in the direction of the move. Unless otherwise specified, the move takes place entirely within one board.
8. If a player is instructed to "jump" to a particular square, he is said to leave his original square and land on the destination square, without passing over any squares. Unless otherwise specified, the jump takes place entirely within one board.
9. Squares that have the same number but are on different boards are known as siblings.
10. A square is said to be "bordering" another if it is above, below, to the left of, or to the right of that square.
11. If a player is instructed to "walk" to a particular square, he is said to leave his current square, and is placed on the destination square without passing or landing on any squares.
12. Once per turn, a player may walk to the predecessor or successor of his current square, providing the player does not walk past the end of the board in either direction.
13. A square is said to be "sequential" with another if it is the predecessor or successor of that square.
14. The square above, below, left, or right of a square is the first square encountered when moving in the specified direction, skipping over empty spaces and wrapping around the edges of the board if necessary.
15. A player's "direction of travel" is the direction the player has most recently travelled in order to arrive at his current square.
Turns
1. A player may take a turn at any time, provided that player has not taken a turn in the last 72 hours (3 days).
2. When a player takes a turn, he will select a direction (either forwards or backwards), roll two 6-sided dice, and moves in the selected direction on the board the number of squares indicated by the sum of the dice. A fractional amount remaining at the end of a move is ignored.
Proposals
1. A player may make a proposal at any time, provided that player does not currently have any proposals in the game that have "Voting" status. A player may make a proposal if he is on the Null Space.
2. A proposal can be any of the following:
  - The addition of new rules
  - The deletion of existing rules
  - The modification of existing rules
  - A change to the game state which does not necessarily fit into one of the above categories
3. No proposal may make any reference to a characteristic of a player if that characteristic is immutable within the set of rules at the time the proposal is accepted, ignoring the fact that rules may change in the future.
4. No proposal may have retroactive application or take effect earlier than the moment it is implemented.
5. When a proposal is made, it is given "Voting" status. While a proposal is in "Voting" status, players may vote either "Yes", "No", or "Gamble" on it. Each player may not vote more than once on each proposal. A player who is on the Null Space may vote, but cannot vote Gamble.
6. 120 hours (5 days) after a proposal is made, if the proposal has more Yes votes than No votes, the proposal is accepted and moved into "Pending" status, all players who voted Gamble on that proposal move forward a number of squares equal to the number of Yes votes on that proposal, and the player who made the proposal receives a Warp Bubble. If the proposal does not receive more Yes votes than No votes, the proposal is rejected and moved into "Dead" status, and all players who voted Gamble on that proposal move backward a number of squares equal to the number of No votes on that proposal.
7. Once a "Pending" proposal has been implemented into the rules by the Admin, it is switched to "Dead" status.
8. Once voting on a proposal has been completed, the number of players who voted Yes and No on the proposal will be made public, however, each individual player's vote will not be revealed.
9. A proposal that is in "Voting" status may be retracted by the player who made it. Retracting a proposal immediately puts it in "Dead" status.
10. The Admin has the right to refuse to implement any proposal that in his opinion is discriminatory, paradoxial, infeasible to implement, or destructive of gameplay.
Disruption of Gameplay
1. In the event of a paradox, infinite loop, or any situation that prohibits further gameplay, the game will be paused. The Admin also has the right to pause the game at any time if he feels there is a need to do so.
2. When the game is paused, players may not take any actions other than voting until the game is unpaused.
3. During a pause due to a disruption of gameplay, the players have the option to suggest to the Admin ideas on how to fix the game. The Admin will make a proposal, and the players will vote on it using the same procedure as a proposal made by a player. If the proposal is accepted, the proposal is implemented and the game is unpaused. If the proposal is rejected, the above process is repeated until the game is fixed.
4. In the event that the Nomopoly V website suffers from an error which results in loss of data, the Admin will restore the game with data from a previous backup.
Ending the Game
1. The game will immediately end without a winner if the Admin is ever on the receiving end of a lawsuit from any board game manufacturer.
2. Once someone has been declared the winner, the game ends.
3. If there is only one player in the game who is not bankrupt, the non-bankrupt player is declared the winner.
4. A player who has a Laps Completed value greater than or equal to 25 is declared the winner.
5. If there is only one player who is not on the Null Space and no player on the Null Space has enough Mana Energy to cast Spell of Return, the player who is not on the Null Space is declared the winner. This is called a "Victory by Attrition".
6. If at any time there are 0 or less squares on the boards, the game ends and all players lose equally. This is called a "Loss by Armageddon".
Laps
1. A new player upon joining the game will receive a Laps Completed value equal to the lowest Laps Completed value of all other players.
2. When a player lands on or passes the lowest numbered square on a board while moving in a forward direction, his Laps Completed value is increased by 1.
3. When a player lands on or passes the highest numbered square on a board while moving in a backward direction, his Laps Completed value is reduced by 1.
Stars
1. A player who lands on the same square on the board as a Star may purchase it for $1000.
2. Whenever a player purchases a Star, a new Star will be placed on a random square of the A-board.
3. If the Star is destroyed, a new Star is placed in the same manner as if a Star was just bought.
Trees
1. Once per week, trees will be created in the following manner:
  - A tree will grow in each treeless square that is the predecessor or successor of a square containing a tree
  - A tree will grow on a randomly selected treeless square on each board
2. Whenever a player attempts to chop down a tree, there is a 5% chance that the player will be interrupted by a Tree Spirit. If this happens, the tree will not be destroyed, but all other effects of chopping down the tree will take place.

Color Properties

A new square upon creation will be colored as follows:
- If its number is a multiple of 11, the square is colored Purple
- Otherwise, if its number modulo 18 is equal to 3, 8, 11, or 16, the square is colored Silver
- Otherwise, if its number is odd, the square is colored Red
- Otherwise, the square is colored Blue
Whenever a player lands on a square with color properties, that player loses all of his previous color properties and gains the color properties of the last square he landed on during his move. Then, the corresponding effect for each color property that player has takes place:
Color Effect
Blue Receive $3 from each player
Red Draw a card
Silver Receive a hint
Purple Receive a randomly selected rare item
The square containing the Star, as well as the two adjacent squares and the squares above and below it have the color property Yellow, replacing whatever color property those squares would normally have as long as the star remains there. Whenever a player lands on a Yellow square, he may purchase the star in the same manner as if he had landed on the square containing the Star.
A square that is painted has a color property equal to the color it is painted. This overrides any other rule that would determine the color property of a square.

Color	Effect
Blue	Receive $3 from each player
Red	Draw a card
Silver	Receive a hint
Purple	Receive a randomly selected rare item

Uncolored squares are slippery. If a player lands on a slippery square, he will slide away by moving to a square as specified by the roll of a 6-sided die:

Roll	Square
3 or less	The bordering square in the player's current direction of travel
4	The bordering square to the left of the player's current direction of travel
5	The bordering square to the right of the player's current direction of travel
6	The bordering square in the opposite direction of the player's current direction of travel

If a square is painted Orange, road work is being done on that square, and that square counts twice as much as normal towards the amount of squares remaining in that move.
Road work takes a random length of time from 2 to 7 days. Once road work is finished, the Orange paint fades, as though paint thinner had been applied to that square.

Buildings

Squares may contain buildings that are owned by players. A single square may not contain more than one building.
Once per turn, a player may do one of the following:
- Construct a building on his current square, or the predecessor or successor of his current square, in exchange for the construction cost of the building. Upon construction, the player must name the building. That player becomes the owner of the new building.
- Destruct a building he owns on his current square, or the predecessor or successor of his current square, in exchange for the destruction cost of the building.
The owner of a building may lock or unlock the building, providing he is on the same square as the building, its predecessor, or its successor.
A building is "available" to a player if the player occupies the same square as the building, its predecessor, or its successor, and at least one of the following is true:
- The building is unlocked
- The player owns the building
- The player owns an item named "Key to [building name]"

Constructing a Deflecto-Matic Umbrella does not prevent a player from being able to construct another building during that turn, and a player may construct a Deflecto-Matic Umbrella even if he has constructed other buildings that turn. If a Dirty Snowball, Paint Ball from Space, or splashed paint from a Paint Ball from Space would hit a square containing a Deflecto-Matic Umbrella, then the Deflecto-Matic Umbrella is destroyed and a randomly selected bordering square is hit instead. If that square also has a Deflecto-Matic Umbrella, then this process is repeated.

$250 and 2 Logs

None

Paper Mills have a "Processing fee" property, initially $1 when the Paper Mill is built, and the Processing Fee property of a Paper Mill may be set to any positive dollar amount by its owner if he occupies the same square as the Paper Mill or an adjacent square. A player may process a Log at a Paper Mill that is available to him and he does not own. A player who processes a Log pays the Processing fee for the Paper Mill to its owner, loses the Log, and receives a random amount of Papers between 1 and 6.

A player may put items in or take items from a building that is available to him. A building may not hold more items than its capacity.

Evil Twins
1. Each player has an evil twin, which must always remain on the M-board.
2. When a new player joins the game, an evil twin for him will be created on ~~Square~~the #1first square (of the M)-board. When a player leaves the game, his evil twin is removed from the game.
3. Evil twins automatically take turns at random intervals between 3 and 4 days. Evil twins take turns in the same manner as players, except they always must move forward. Any time a new choice is implemented in the turn taking process, the Admin will select a reasonable default choice for evil twins to always choose.
4. All evil twins occupying a square when it is destroyed are immediately placed on the Null Space.

Spells

All players have a "Mana Energy" property, initially 0.
Every hour, all players will have their Mana Energy property increased by 1.
A player may cast any spell at any time, providing the following are true:
- The player has the requirements and the cost to cast the spell
- If a target is required by the spell, a valid target must exist
Unless otherwise stated, the effects of the spell happen immediately.
Upon casting a spell, the player immediately pays the cost of the spell. If the cost has an unspecified variable within it, the value of the variable is a positive number chosen by the player casting the spell.
Spells that are marked as "continuous" take action continuously until cancelled. A player may cancel a continuous spell that was cast by him at any time. If the spell has an upkeep, the casting player must pay that upkeep every hour after gaining Mana Energy for that hour. If a player is unable to pay the upkeep on his spells, then continuous spells that were cast by that player are cancelled in order of descending upkeep (ties broken randomly) until that player is able to pay the total upkeep, or he has no more continuous spells in effect.

Player must occupy a square that contains gold

The square occupied by the player casting this spell

The gold is removed from the target square, and one of the following happens, randomly selected:

A Chunk of Gold is placed on the target square
A Bit of Gold is placed on all squares that border the target square

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
1. Dr Jekyll begins on Square #1 with $1000.
2. If, before moving, Dr Jekyll has $0 or less, he will transform into Mr Hyde. If, before moving, Mr Hyde has $500 or more, he will transform into Dr Jekyll.
3. Once per week, Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde will move. Dr Jekyll moves forwards by the roll of two 6-sided dice. Mr Hyde moves forwards by the roll of three 6-sided dice.
4. If after Dr Jekyll moves, he occupies a square occupied by one or more players, each player on that square receives a Vial of Potion. Dr Jekyll loses $100 for each Vial of Potion he hands out.
5. After Mr Hyde moves, each player on the same square as Mr Hyde, its successor, or its predecessor must give $50 to Mr Hyde.
6. Any player who is on the same square as Dr Jekyll, its successor, or its predecessor may donate up to $100 to Dr Jekyll.
7. If Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde occupies a square when it is destroyed, then he will be placed on the Null Space, transform into Dr Jekyll, and wait for 7 days. After this time, Dr Jekyll will jump to a randomly selected square on the board he was most recently on and lose $1000.
The Null Space
1. The Null Space is a location that is not part of any board. The Null Space is not a square.
2. A player who occupies the Null Space may not take any action unless the action explicitly states it can be done while on the Null Space.
The Secret Word
1. A secret word is chosen by the Admin, along with a sequence of hints for that word.
2. The secret word and hints are not revealed to the players unless a rule requires it to be revealed.
3. Whenever a player "receives a hint", the player will receive the first hint to the current secret word that has not already been revealed to him, if one exists.
4. Whenever a proposal contains the secret word, the secret word is revealed to all players, the player who made the proposal receives $1000 if the proposal was accepted, and that secret word is no longer the secret word. The Admin will then choose a new secret word and sequence of hints at a time of his choosing.
Ax Duels
1. If a player who owns an Ax lands on a square other than the Hospital or the Arena that is occupied by another player who owns an Ax, those two players must fight an Ax Duel. If the square contains more than one player who owns an Ax, the player is chosen randomly.
2. When two players fight an Ax Duel, each of them rolls dice as follows:
  - A player's first ax entitles him to roll a 12-sided die
  - A player's second ax entitles him to roll an 8-sided die
  - A player's third ax entitles him to roll a 6-sided die
  - A player's fourth ax entitles him to roll a 4-sided die
  - Each ax a player has above the fourth entitles him to roll a 2-sided die
  The player who rolls the higher total takes an Ax from the player who rolls the lower total.
3. For every six or twelve a player rolls during an Ax Duel, his opponent in that Ax Duel is given a wound.
4. When a player who has wounds takes a turn, he moves 2 less squares than normal for each wound he has. If this would cause the player to not move at all or to move in the opposite direction, that player dies, loses all of his wounds, and is sent to the Null Space.
5. If a player is given a wound in an Ax Duel and the total number of wounds that player has is greater than 6, that player dies with the same procedure as if he had died by taking a turn with wounds. When a player dies as a result of an Ax Duel, he must give all of his Axes to his opponent, unless his opponent died in that Ax Duel as well.
6. A player with wounds may call the Wah!mbulance. This causes that player to be sent to the Hospital, lose all of his wounds and all of his Axes, and have his Honor set to 0 if his Honor is positive.
7. When a player's Laps Completed value increases, all of that player's wounds are removed.

Realms of Study

Each player has an attribute called "Realm of Study". A player's Realm of Study has effects for that player. A new player upon joining the game may choose his Realm of Study.

Matching Dice
1. If a player on a turn rolls 2 or more matching dice, he must pay $3 per matching die to each player if he lands on a red square, and receive $3 per matching die from each player if he lands on a blue square.
2. If an evil twin or Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde rolls 2 or more matching dice, the number of spaces he moves is instead determined by the sum of ((number of matching dice + 1) * the matched number) for all matching numbers, plus any non-matching numbers.
Gangs
1. There is one gang for each color in the game. There is also an Uncolored gang. Gangs are said to be "rivals" of all other gangs.
2. Evil twins may be members of a gang. Each gang initally has no members.
3. A gang member has a "mojo score", which starts out at 0 when the gang member joins a gang. The gang member with the most mojo is the gang leader. If there is a tie, all tied members are gang leaders.
4. When an evil twin joins a gang, he must be "initiated" into the gang. When an evil twin is initiated into a gang, the gang steals $(50+50*X) from the player whom the new gang member is the evil twin, where X is the number of members already in the gang.
5. If an evil twin who is not a member of a gang moves into a square occupied by one or more evil twins who are gang members, the evil twin that moved there will randomly select a gang member on that square, and join that member's gang.
6. If an evil twin who is not a member of a gang moves into a square occupied by one or more evil twins, none of which are members of a gang, all evil twins on that square will join the gang with the color equal to the color of that square. If that square has no color, the evil twins on that square will join the Uncolored gang.
7. If an evil twin who is a member of a gang moves into a square occupied by a member of a rival gang, the gang member who moved there will start a gang fight with each rival gang member on that square, one at a time.
8. When a gang fight takes place, each combatant will randomly choose a number between 1 and the current number of players, add the number of members in his gang, and add his current mojo score. The combatant with the highest result wins the fight. If the results are tied, the combatant who started the fight wins. The loser of the gang fight immediately joins the gang that the winner is a member of, and loses one mojo point. The winner of the gang fight gains one mojo point.
9. If the last member of a gang is defeated in a gang fight, all money owned by the defeated member's gang is given to the gang of the winner of the gang fight.

Graffiti

A player may use paint to create graffiti of any availble type on his current square. The color of the graffiti is the same color as the paint.

A player who takes an Ax from another player who has a greater than or equal number of Axes gains 1 Honor and his opponent loses 1 Honor.
A player who has Axes and occupies the Arena square may issue any type of Challenge to any other player who has Axes, does not have any outstanding Challenges issued to him, and has not rejected a Challenge within the last week. When a player is issued a Challenge, he must either accept or reject it. If the player does not accept or reject a Challenge within 3 days of the Challenge being issued, he automatically rejects it. When a player leaves the Arena, all outstanding Challenges issued by him are cancelled.
When a player acecpts a Challenge, he jumps to the Arena and fights an Ax Duel of the type specified by the Challenge with the player who issued the Challenge.
When a player rejects a Challenge issued by a player who has a less than or equal number of Axes, the player who rejected the Challenge loses 1 Honor and the player who issued the Challenge gains 1 Honor.

If the Robot's current square is destroyed, the Robot stops performing instructions, is sent to the Null Space, and reboots for 48 hours, during which time it does not move. After the Robot is finished rebooting, it moves to a randomly selected square on the board it was most recently on.
In the event that the Null Space contains an instruction card, that card is moved to the discard pile.
If a square containing an instruction card is destroyed, that card is moved to the discard pile.
If a player is instructed to "draw a card", then if the draw pile is empty, the discard pile is shuffled to form a new draw pile, and then if the draw pile is not empty, the player receives the top card from the draw pile.
If a card is "discarded", it is placed on top of the discard pile.
If at any time a player has more than 20 instruction cards, one of that player's cards, randomly selected, is discarded.
The Robot offers printing services to players who are on the same square as the Robot or an adjacent square. Printing services have a cost, and something that the player will receive in return.
Whenever a player uses a printing service, there is a 5% chance that the Robot will malfunction and shred the paper. If this happens, the player who used the service does not receive anything, even though he has already paid the cost for the service.
