Well, as long as we're discussing infiltration and whatnot, I might as 
well get this out now:

I propose
{{
__And the World *WILL* Live as One__

Create the following Philosophical Mandate:
{{
__Unwavering Zealotry__

The Unwavering Zealot has one fundamental belief: That the only hope of 
salvation lies in Unwavering Zealotry. E believes that all Nomic 
Players should be Unwavering Zealots, and those who refuse to convert 
must be eradicated for the good of all. Moreover, e does not believe 
that eir Philosophy should be contained solely within a single Nomic; e 
believes it is eir duty to seek out other Nomics and convert their 
players as well.

In this mandate, the term 'Heretic' means, 'a player who is not an 
Unwavering Zealot'.

In B Nomic, an Unwavering Zealot may grant emself 10 points, with the 
restriction that this may only be used after e has targeted Heretic 
with a form of Abuse, and may not be used more than once for each time 
e Abuses another player thusly. E may also increase eir Force by 3 
points, with the restriction that this may only be used if it would not 
increase eir Force beyond eir Force Max, and if e has either never used 
this ability, or targeted a Heretic with a Force Ability since the last 
time e used this ability.

If an Unwavering Zealot becomes a Heretic, e loses 50 points and all 
eir Force points.
