Yeah, three is probably too much...

Say, would anyone be interested in some sort of internomic activity? We 
tried to found an internomic market a year or so ago, but that was with 
Thermodynomic, which collapsed before the Market got off the ground. As 
far as I know, Agora, Cimonomic, BlogNomic, Nomopoly II, Nomicron, and 
GloNomic are active right now, and there are probably others I don't 
know about.

It wouldn't have to be a full-fledged Internomic - maybe we could bring 
back the Market, or start a game of 'internomic risk'.

Any interest?

Rule 1896 says "E may also state that e performs an action multiple 
times, in which case e performs the action that many times (if legal, 
of course) sequentially." while defining how a player can take a game 
action. This suggests that if you try to do something a billion times 
at once, you'll end up doing it a billion times in sequence, and after 
doing it the first time the other 999,999,999 times all fail 'cause you 
no longer have the card/tomato/other object.

It probably wouldn't hurt to explicitly state that, though.
