Why isn't Agora allowed to lie? That rule change wouldn't make any sense because Agora would have never agreed to be bound. But what if it did agree? As a human, I could purport to agree (as part of another nomic) to vote FOR proposal X in Agora, and then blatantly ignore that requirement, whether I had changed my mind or never intended to follow through with it in the first place. The nomic could invoke a sentence like EXILE, but it could not *force* me to take an action. The same goes for Agora. A player can, with Agoran Consent, agree to follow arbitrary terms of a foreign nomic, but that neither allows the foreign nomic to change the Agoran gamestate nor creates an Agoran obligation to do anything. So, even if B changed its rules in that manner, I would support Agora being a faction.
