-You could say that... say that the game cannot handle a flood of new 
players, and that you strongly, strongly recommend reading the rules 
carefully and maybe watching for a week or two before trying to join. That 
should weed out some of the less interested.-

-Oooh... pretty... and then we could all get special B Nomic t-shirts and a 
secret B Nomic handshake... and no, I'm not being sarcastic. I actually have
