Hmm, yes.  We'll need to deal with the issue somehow.  I suppose it would be 
best to recognize a player in multiple games as multiple entities, at least 
as far as the Market is concerned.  Trading with yourself would essentially 
be moving your assets around... hey...

With the resets that B Nomic has, other Nomics could be used as "offshore 
accounts" to keep stuff that the rules would destroy.  While I'm sure that a 
lot of people here would love to have such a thing set up for themselves, I 
think that it might be better to try to cut such things off.  This seems 
akin to how there's a push here in B Nomic to try to seperate all the 
subgames.
