Re: [s-d] [s-b] I'll make my own faction then

["Aaron Coquet" <farfromunique@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm...
If I perform the actions in <hypothetical> areas below, what would be
accomplished?
<hypothetical>
I have in my possession a ream of paper. 8.5" x 11", 28 lb white laser
printer paper, produced by hammermill.
Each ream of paper contains 500 sheets.
I place the ream in the input tray of a photocopier, less one sheet.
On the one remaining sheet, I write "I, a sheet of paper out of this
ream, consent to whatever Zach wishes me to consent. I also name Zach
as my proxy for all written and verbal communications. I do all of
this of my own free will."
I scan this in, and print 499 copies.
I assign an email address to each sheet of paper, corresponding to the
order upon which they were printed.
I now have a ream (500 papers), all of which agree to whatever I want them to.
I stack the papers into one pile, all facing the same direction.
I mark, with a felt-tip marker, a single line, at an angle across one
edge of the stack of papers, effectively marking each page in a
different way than the one before, or any other.

I create the following agreement, stolen largely from Antonio:
x 1. This is an agreement governed by the Rules of Bnomic.
x
x 2. This agreement shall not impair the ability of the parties to act
x    individually.
x
x 3. Parties to this agreement are the player known as Zach and
x    500 sheets of paper, known collectively as Zach's Ream Of Paper,
and individually as Sheet XXX of The Ream (where XXX is replaced by a
number between 001 and 500, inclusive).
x
x 4. This agreement is known as Ream-o-Nomic. Parties to this
x    agreement are known as members.
x
x 5. Members agree to be bound by this agreement. Members may cease to
x    be bound and leave the agreement at any time by giving notice to
x    all other members. This agreement shall terminate if there are
x    less than two members.
x
x 6. Any member may act on behalf of Ream-o-Nomic with the
x    unanimous consent of the other human members. Any member may
x    announce his or her consent to an action that has not yet been
x    performed.
x
x 7. Members shall ensure that Ream-o-Nomic obeys the rules of
x    Bnomic.
x
x 8. This agreement may be modified in any way with the unanimous
x    consent of all human members.
x
x 9. New members are admitted in this agreement by unanimous consent of
x    all human members.

Zach's Ream Of Paper consent to be a member of Ream-o-Nomic. I consent
to be a member of Ream-o-Nomic.
</hypothetical>

And,

<hypothetical>
On behalf of each individual sheet of paper, I submit the following
email to the business forum. I do so each time from a different email
address, which conforms to the format "sheetXXX@xxxxxxxxx" where XXX
is a number between 001 and 500, and for each email sent, all
instances of XXX in the email are replaced by the same number as is in
the email address.
"I, Sheet XXX of The Ream, hereby join B Nomic as a player."
</hypothetical>
