I heard about Nomic last year from a friend of mine at college, but kept 
sort of forgetting about it, until this year, when, as Glotmorf said, I 
returned to school and the associated Internet connection. In what might 
prove to be a silly move, I looked for a game, happened upon this one, 
watched for a few days, and joined. Hopefully, I'll be able to continue 
having enough free time to play. No problems so far, so we'll see.
