I vote d). I waited to see what the various CFJs would say. Plus I note with interrest that players seem to rely on the rules defined mechanisms enforcing trades (or not, as these mechanisms have their quirks and gaps) rather than just flat out agreeing on trades without rules mechanisms to enforce (or break ;) the trade. So: outside of any formal promises, trades etc - is anyone interested in trading cards just by agreeing on it and performing the card transfers in indidivual mails? Klaus

The result is that Max Schutz, scshunt, and I gave trading cards to ais523, expecting to receive trading cards in return, but in fact got nothing. Should we: (a) Leave everything as it is, (b) Try to fix the situation by transferring ais523 trading cards to each of Max, scshunt, and me, or (c) Try to fix the situation by giving Max, scshunt, and me our original cards back? Also, there appears to be a lack of interest in the contest. Only 7 players of Agora have participated at all, and nobody has transferred any cards in the last week. Should we: (d) Leave everything as it is, (e) Make the contest easier by lowering the win threshold from 12 different cards to (perhaps) 8 different cards, or (f) Something else?
