My position (as I stated in the Agora discussion forum this morning)
is that the Agora ruleset isn't a valid B Nomic agreement since it
doesn't *explicitly* spell out how game actions would be taken in B
Nomic.  Arguably 5-1 could be taken to require it only to spell out
how actions in general will be taken and not need to specifically
mention B Nomic actions, in which case Agora could become a faction.

However, even if Agora's ruleset is a B Nomic agreement, I believe
that at the moment I am Agora's Ambassador.  I'll need a CFJ over
there to determine whether this means that no other Agora player can
take actions in external nomics on Agora's behalf.
