Editing the Risho history pages on the NomicWiki led me to the same kind of thoughts. I think it could be good for the protected nomics, with Rishonomic itself being a prime example, but it's potentially a difficult sell. Of course, we could go to war to coerce the first couple, then let our record of wise oversight sell the idea to others. Thus will the Agoran Empire be forged.
Apart from B Nomic which has already been mentioned, I am participating in two to three others that would be good candidates. On a side note, I've noticed that players that are new to Nomics in general tend to leave many ambiguities in their rules. I think most new nomic players would find Agora entirely too formalized and rigid for their liking (it is something you have to grow in to). However, I think Agora with it's experienced players could do a great service to many of the younger nomics and newer nomic players out there by taking a somewhat active role in those nomics; a mentorship if you will. That was part of my thought in this proposal. It's a novel idea: we've never seen nomics form this type of relationship.
Worth exploring. I think an Agoran proposal to modify rules of a protected nomic should require a high AI, at least 2 and perhaps 3. We don't want Agoran scams to (easily) provide a backdoor to scam other nomics.
Good idea. Probably best to lose the self-puffery from your draft. That stuff
belongs in the subordinate nomic's ruleset. -zefram
The language was intended not as self-puffery (well, not primarily) but as a reminder to Agoran players of their natural leadership role in the nomic community. BobTHJ
