Wel maybe.
But more to the point maybe this theme would end up as graybeard-only
which wasn't my intent (but that was great addition to the previous
memoirs Dave!) - I was thinking entries would be as much about judicial
procedure as the actual arguments, e.g. "your honor, the next Rule

Well, having been there when it happened, after giving all you kids a

(1) FRC began as a discussion within NW towards creating a bounded,
"playable" rule set, and has had a continuous monotonically increasing
round number since then;

Excuse me if I'm wrong because Agora is older than I am, but to me it seems
that the whole "Agora vs. FRC" debate is more of an in-joke between the two
groups than an actual serious debate. Saying that one is more worthy than
another is an impossible task since both of them are different in importa
FRC is, you know, currently between rounds.
Regarding the theme of
"OYEZ, OYEZ! THE DISPUTE BEFORE US TODAY IS WHETHER FRC OR AGORA IS THE
TRUE INHERITOR OF NOMIC WORLD".
I think there's a "matter of genuine controversy" issue. What difference
does this bragging right make? And why can't it be

Ah, it turns out this is because my email provider is being targeted by a
denial-of-service attack at the moment. No problem on Agora's end this time.
Frankly I'm quite impressed they're still managing to get my own messages to
you.

So there were no comments on this is there interest? I have a few
minor edits but otherwise it can be started - but depends on whether
people want to play it.

There's good aspects to both methods.
How about an alternating thing: switch auction types every other auction.

Specifically in reference to G.'s third point here, you can go ahead and
propose a single auction switch and you would likely get plenty of votes.

1. It was thought that being able to target land units you actually
wanted geographically was better for strategy and would promote
interesting auctions (you could decide to bid a lot for land units
close to the center or less for units on the periphery).
2. It gave a big advantage to people
We've had a single auction before. There were fewer bids, and all the land
units also sold for less. Although I suppose that at this point, it might
be better to have one auction because of the nearness of monopolization.

Can I ask why the land auction was split into five originally? Unless I'm

What's not working?
1) land transfiguration (kind of the reason land types exist in the first
place) is useless
2) I think I can make a terribly overpowered lv. 5 refinery (13 coins/1
ore) next week, meaning I'll have so many coins that nobody else will be
able to win any more land, ever.

So I've been planning land purchases, upgrades, and production flow for
the next month, it's been fun to do. It's a nice little resource
management/placement game right now.
But each/every proposal like this throws such planning out the window.
