I think you can run a game with no diplo which isn't RAND but just ND. You just have to play with people who are trustworthy. Note that many of the problems with untrustworthy players (or general disagreements) stem from the huge size of games.

RAND can easily enforce the ND part due to A factor.
In ND games that would be much more difficult and may also become a source of disagreement between players. I can already imagine such disagreement at game end like some endless exhange:
while true:
Player A: That was completely unfair. Players B and C had an all game alliance and worked together against me so that B would win.
Players B,C: nonsense.
end while

At least ND games can inherently enforce the rules of no transfers of goods (so long as game turns are kept for later revision).
Anyway, I'd say ND games go to the first option.

Now, I must ask myself what does all that have to do with end-game MM?
