Not sure. Agora's pretty complicated. Currently, it seems like most of our appeal is in "pure

most people don't find "pure nomic fun" all that fun.
Would you say that "pure nomic fun" = "rules lawyering"?
Yeah, I think so.
My brief first-hand experience is that arguing about the rules is a lot,
maybe most of game play (informal sense, obviously in the formal sense
e.g. agora-discussion contains zero game play)
And the CFJ count seems to suggest that it's not just that I've come at
a strange time.
