I like "the Nomic Preservation Society" and agree the effort should be broader than Agora itself. This was just a good place to start recruiting. :D
I'm also fine with the watch and wait approach, but we should be prepared to act. Of course, people who don't care about Blognomic aren't mandated to do anything (hence my resolution using "should" and "encouraged" rather than "shall" and "required"). I figure that people who do care enough to take action will also tend to stay on and play the game proper, which should soften any resentment on the Blognomic side. FYI I'm the player "gazebo_dude" over on Blognomic. I also played Agora briefly under that name (I'm pretty sure) some years ago... 2005 I think. Been thinking about rejoining since I've recently come into more free time.
