E had probably played/watched a lot more nomic than I had.
I'd read Steve Gardner's Nomic World reports, and that was it. I think
this was through a mailing list that had some general discussion of NW
stuff (though no play, as that all happened on the MUD). Someone
suggested that NW was untenable and that we should do things by e-mail.
Chuck Carroll wrote the ruleset, I volunteered to be the Speaker. We
were using the mailing list at the yoyo machine, and so that's what I
called the game before we settled on "Agora" as the name.
