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. ^_^
