Well, w/o 2 objections is harder than both w/o 3 objections and Agoran Consent, IMO. (Agoran Consent can pass despite lots of objections, sometimes.) And if anyone agrees with you (and I do to some extent), you could easily prevent two contests getting a Medal at once by objecting. As for the contests we have atm, Werewolves I still think is dead, BF Joust is idle (could you get that restarted some time? Even some non-Agorans have shown interest in it...), I can't really see a way to add it to the AAA, and the FRC is likely unsuitable. So this is really aimed either at Enigma (I thought of the proto when thinking about how to get Enigma restarted in an interesting manner), or at a new contest designed to use the rule to its best benefit. Plus, given that I'm Speaker at the moment (until/unless comex manages to make good on eir win), the two plans would probably come to much the same thing. Either way, it won't be me getting the win as I'd be running the contest. -- ais523
