Different Nomics move at different speeds; while we try things quickly 
on impulse and make complex rules, they go slowly and carefully. I'll 
bet that they've never turned off for a few days because of Admin 
burnout, or gone into a State of Emergency because nobody noticed the 
wording problems in a major rule.

I believe that the point of the game is change; I do not believe that 
the point of the game is fast change.

But perhaps you're right. Perhaps I wouldn't fit in in Nomicron. If I 
joined and didn't fit, I would change my habits to fit, or I would 
leave.


As for being "the only peaceful person in this evil game", the 
impression I'm getting is that they think of *you* as the only evil 
person in this apathetic game.
