-Right. Even if the other Nomics don't choose to incorporate a Grid into 
their ruleset, it's still there for them if they change their minds. A 
multi-Nomic grid would also allow wars between Nomics to be fought without 
any sticky "a suffusion of yellow" nonsense, and no ruined rulesets. You 
want to fight? Fine, buy our Speeders... heh heh.-

-Modified to fit differences since then, of course. It would be the job of 
the Ambassador then to represent B Nomic in this new InterNomic.-

-This sort of ties back to the rewritten InterNomic thing, because anything 
short of that will cause more problems than is good for anyone.-
