In the end, Agora is an attention distribution machine. A game of attention economy. If we didn't need attention from other people, we would be playing nomic alone.
And in the end everyone wants their own things to gain the most attention, whether it be rules for others to use, obscure history you care about, your scams, etc. I feel like there just isn't enough attention to go around for the attention demands that we create for others. There are more attention-requiring things than the average player can give. And we demand an unfair amount of attention from newcomers, I feel. They have to give attention to our coolio clubhouse unwritten house rules and vast obscure history, or listen to us talk about that vast obscure history and written rules, in order to play the game at all. It's a huge tax.
