Not because of the grid, or football, or the scarf...but because these things are what the game has become. It carries with it certain restrictions, such as Entropy and the Sushi, and those are imposed on all players. To say all you want to do is propose, vote and judge is fine, and that's generally the basis of any given Nomic, but to say you don't want to be subject to the same restrictions, procedures, etc. that other players are is to say you don't want to be playing the game that B Nomic has become. And if that's the case...why are you here? Why aren't you off starting or joining some other Nomic without the rules that this one has now, rather than trying to play in a game without following the rules? I'm not asking you to leave...I'm just wondering why, if you're so Disinterested, you should stay. Drop the zero Score, Charm and Entropy requirement, and I might feel better. Otherwise, that's too much of letting you do what you want with no consequence for your actions. Glotmorf
