First off, note that as soon as my dictatorship was in effect, it became
James's spirit-over-all.
Second note is directed to Aaron:
"I pretty much stopped playing when James insisted that he took
dictatorship and refused to accept anyone saying otherwise, thereby
pretty much ruining the game for everyone."
Don't be a hypocrite.
Third:
In spite of point one, I am willing to play Fresh Nomic II, which is
what I call this new game of Nomic, on the condition that we
retrospectively dictate that my dictatorship was entirely legal and
still has all authority over Fresh Nomic (I).
Fourth:
I'll be a lot happier if this nomic is letter-over-spirit, meaning "we
do what the rules say" instead of "when something we don't like happens
we cheat to fix it".

Really awesome guy.
We really should just get rid of the dictatorship via scam. Or start
a new nomic.

Hey, I had a scam all ready, but we were too lazy to coordinate
everyone to pass the proposal before you could kill the loophole.

James Beirne
I'm totally okay with a new nomic.

You can't legally end the game. You aren't even a player. No, what we do
is let that one continue to exist (purely as an abstraction), and then
use the POWER OF NEWGAME*™* to fix it.

You can't. It still exists in abstractland.

I hereby declare a new rule in Fresh Nomic: Dissa practical.*
*I also translate all the rules into Future English.

1) I have ideas.
2) I use Thunderbird in plain-text mode, not HTML.
3) I use Gmail through Thunderbird, why?
