Nope, it all works.

I support, but there is no Oracle (CotC-equivalent) to deal with this properly.

While I agree that Agora is not at war with B, I don't think a war has
to involve the majority of a nomic's players; supposedly me and Wooble
managed this fine on our own, and I'd be surprised to hear of any real
war which occurred in the last century or so which involved the
majority of a nation's citizens as soldiers.

There wasn't really a scam; Wooble submitted the only RP in a recent
emergency and this RP happened to give him dictator-like powers. Only
one person could even be bothered to vote on the RPs.

Later, Wooble supposedly enacted a rule which allowed any player to
amend the rules by amending them on the wiki.*

0x44 amended this rule so that only me, Wooble and emself had a dictatorship.

I later used this rule to allow me to flip fora Publicity, and used
this power to make ##nomic, and then #bnomic, both IRC channels on the
freenode network, public fora. Various things happened there.

* However, 0x44 has pointed out that this didn't work due to a
technicality, so little has actually happened since Wooble's RP.

I sit.
