Contracts themselves, maybe. What people do with contracts is very
interesting. (From a sociology perspective, if nothing else)

We like to throw logical hand grenades around here. IMO, half the fun of
playing nomic is causing confusion and then trying to exploit the emergency
procedures (and other things) to our own ends.

If you mean your ruleset, I didn't reject the components of it. I just
thought it was a little much to vote for en bloc.

I certainly don't think B Nomic has become conservative.

I would love non-generic gameplay. I think contracts (such as Werewolves and
Guess 2/3) help that happen. So do subgames. And so does your Grid. (heck,
so did Calvinball. Maybe someone should bring out another ball.)

But if so, then I'm certainly not interested.


I hope we're not losing your interest. I know that it's inevitible to lose
players to RL sometimes, but I want to make it so lack of interest is never
the cause of a forfeit.

Is that hopeless idealism? It might be.
