What is Discordian Universalism? I've heard of the Discordians and of universalist traditions in Christianity, but I don't know what the combination would be.
Discordian universalism might be a term I creeated or just something I'm google hacking. It probably is whatever you may guess it is. If so what would you guess¿
Yeah, it is, but I don't know ... I don't really find it interesting. I like the old proverb, "All things are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense", but the Rule of Five and all that? Kinda dull.
Oh, hey, did you ever see Thou Shalt Always Kill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoN6XfyQsr4)? It might perk your fancy, you being Discordian.
Well, I can't speak for other people, but the process was pretty simple for active_apathy and myself:
find interested people (http://active-apathy.livejournal.com/108264.html) (this is usually the stickler),
make up an initial ruleset (http://packbat.livejournal.com/90951.html) based on Peter Suber's original Initial Set (http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/writing/nomic.htm#initial%20set),
revise your initial ruleset until everyone's happy (http://active-apathy.livejournal.com/111312.html),
hammer out who exactly is playing (http://community.livejournal.com/nomicide/492.html), and
start the game! (http://community.livejournal.com/nomicide/1107.html)
But to answer the other sense of your question: well, that's kinda hard to say, given that Nomic is all about changing the rules. I could point you at other descriptions of the game (http://www.nomic.net/~nomicwiki/index.php/GameOfNomic), but they usually end up being kinda similarly handwavy.
...darn, now I'm writing yet another guide to the game of Nomic. Curse you, inspiration!
Well, if LJ counts, nomicide is your game – else I'd say you should check the list (http://www.nomic.net/~nomicwiki/index.php/NomicDatabase). There's quite a few games in town, so to speak, and I'm sure you can find a forum one. ^_^

Re: Hi!
The precepts of Discordianism apply and simultaneously fail to apply to everyone equally?

How does one begin a game of nomic?
