See B Nomic in emergency. Now *that's* overwhelming.
Someone familiar with more nomics (BobTHJ?) might be able to get a thesis out of this. It was pointed out that Agoran culture tends toward creating single test cases with minimal knock-on results, while B culture tends toward wild experimentation (to the point that it has a standing rule for freezing and repairing the gamestate whenever enough players decide it's become broken). The FRC is an interesting hybrid. The fantasy rules are explicitly designed to be wiped whenever the players run out of steam for extending them, while the regular ordinances are largely static in practice.
