-If I read you right, you're more or less saying I haven't really explained 
what I'm going for. I think you may be right... here it is, then. I'm 
looking at a less structured, more real-lifeish version of InterNomic, where 
instead of a central Nomic controlling all, individuals link up and 
interact. It's broad so that they can do all kind of things, you see. 
Initially, there will be very few links, and most of them will come from B 
Nomic. This is a good thing. What I'm really going for is two unprecedented 
things. One, this game uniting behind a cause. Two, the cause: B Nomic 
becoming a power in the land, and, if they don't have a land for us to be a 
power in, us making one. What I envision is most players joining a second 
game and promoting the cause of B Nomic there. You don't have to be a 
full-time player. Just join, vote some, and occasionally propose something 
that will make their ruleset better compatible with ours.
     But it isn't all about our profit. Think of the gains to our game when 
our representatives can come back every nweek with tales of the ideas of 
other Nomics, and propose versions of them. Not their sellable objects, but 
the concepts and philosophies of their games. Everyone stands to win here, 
especially the people who can make the most stuff to sell. Might I point out 
that we have a lot to sell?
     Ambassadors will have advantages too. Especially once it's realized 
that it's easiest to have B Nomic Ambassadors to other Nomics become other 
Nomics' Ambassadors to B Nomic. Ambassadors will get power and paychecks 
both ways.
     So, give it a little thought. Maybe this won't work. Maybe it will. I 
certainly would like to see it succeed. Inasmuch as Nomic has history books, 
let us go down in them.
     I'll get off the soap box now.-
