Well, just because your favorite agreement doesn't give people much
incentive to join doesn't mean that my idea is bad. :)

We need to have some limit on the number of factions in the game, and
I think that it needs to be tied to the natural players in the game
somehow. My thinking was that, as Factions, players would have to pick
sides (and with Voting Option 2) would only get to vote through that
Faction.

Otherwise, agreements with only one B Nomic player will just be
everywhere.

But I could see changing the limit so that each player could be a part
of at most two or three factions instead of one. Would that be better?

Because I want the game to still be about the players of the
game. Again, the idea is that Players join Factions and this Nomic
turns into a team-based game. And otherwise, we have no way to limit
the number of agreements that enter the game.

And also, I separated the definition of Agreement from the definition
of Faction in case somebody wanted to have other kinds of Agreements
that weren't Factions do something in the game.
