I am (unfortunately) a lurker here and, until today, also at Blognomic. So this is officially unofficial, but I hereby move the following for consideration by all watchers, lurkers and registered players of Agora:
WHEREAS, Nomic is a precious gift to humanity; and WHEREAS, Long running nomics are rare, and so even more precious; and WHEREAS, Blognomic is a nomic whose long standing cannot be in dispute; and WHEREAS, Despite previous tensions and even war between the nomics, Agora is Blognomic's wiser elder sibling; and WHEREAS, The Rules clearly implore all to "treat Agora Right Good Forever"; and WHEREAS, The very existence of Blognomic is at stake; and WHEREAS, The current state of brinkmanship at Blognomic is a clear cry for help; therefore be it RESOLVED, First, that the continued flourishing of Blognomic is "Right Good" for all nomics everywhere; and Second, that it is therefore the responsibility of all good nomic citizens to stand in solidarity with Blognomic; and Third, that all players, watchers and other lurkers of Agora should do all in their power to ensure the survival of Blognomic; and Fourth, that all players, watchers and other lurkers of Agora are therefore encouraged to register as players of Blognomic and vote against the proposal "Twelve Times Twelve Midnight". Fifth, that it is "Right Good" for Agorans to stand in solidarity with Blognomic through official legislative recognition of this dark time.
