While the spirit of this idea admirable, I have serious reservations about calling on Agorans - or on any other group - to register and vote en bloc on another Nomic. For now - at least - BlogNomic regulars appear to be voting down the proposal that would otherwise enable the end of the game. I obviously can’t stop anyone from going to register or to vote, but I urge Agorans to respect BlogNomic’s players, and to refrain from flooding out regular BlogNomic players in the hopes of saving BlogNomic from itself. That trick never works. -o
