A while ago we had two players who joined Nomicron. They got into  
some argument with some of the other players there; I don't know the  
details, but it degenerated into both sides swearing at each other  
and calling each other names. At the same time, by coincidence, we'd  
been discussing on s-d how one nomic could meaningfully 'wage war' on  
another, and one of the suggestions was that a few of the attacking  
nomic's players could join the other game and basically undermine it,  
masquerading as serious players.

This unfortunate timing led to a number of Nomicron players believing  
that the two players arguing were actually plants in an attempt by B  
to destroy Nomicron. This kind of strained relations between the two  
nomics, which was a shame because we were both thinking about trying  
to start up some sort of Internomic.

We've still never successfully interacted with another nomic in any  
meaningful way. The furthest along any of our efforts ever got was  
the founding of a joint market with Thermodynomic, but Thermo died  
out due to player disinterest before anything useful could come of it.

If we want to wage war on Agora, by the way, I think it would be much  
more exciting to do so in some official context. By which I mean, an  
Inter-nomic game of Risk or Diplomacy :-D
