There’s a related question: which offices have outlived their utility, and could be either eliminated or replaced with a lighter system?

My sense is that the top three most important offices, in descending order: 1. The Distributor, 2. The Assessor, and 3. The Rulekeepor. These three offices, working in concert, make it possible to reason about the rules of Agora at any point in time. If any of the three should fall idle, the game is effectively on hold until someone deputizes for the office and gets things moving again. The game can function without most other offices, but if proposals can no longer be turned into rules, or if the only way to understand the rules is through a full reckoning of all past proposal actions, then the game is unplayable. I would estimate that the top three most difficult offices, again in descending order, would be 1. The Rulekeepor, 2. The Assessor, and 3. The Referee. These are the offices most exposed to complicated player actions, either through proposals (which are difficult instruments at the best of times), through complicated voting decisions, or through needing a comprehensive understanding of the rules and being able to spot not only breaches by action, but also breaches by inaction. > I also recommend that we pause all other proposals, except for those > already pending and those intended only to fix or simplify gameplay, > until this process is complete. Seconded.
