I object. I think Goethe is doing a fine job as CotC. E is assigning CFJs briskly, keeping the game flowing. I was unhappy about eir three trivial CFJs, but it is the calling and not eir actions as CotC that I object to there. Regarding the massively-linked CFJs, which had the ulterior motive of acquiring VCs, the assemblage was concerned with genuine issues that had arisen some time earlier. Goethe as CotC properly assigned them to a judge who would give them all due consideration and render useful judgements. As self-appointed judge e did in fact judge them appropriately. A fix is required to close the VC-minting hole that we have just demonstrated. I think further gratuitous use of the hole would be dishonourable; the use we made of it, by contrast, was (a) pointing out the hole, and (b) a counterscam aimed at preserving Agoran democracy, both honourable ends. The number of VCs minted was not arbitrary, but was calculated to just outweigh the voting power the would-be Oligarchs could bring to bear, assuming that they spent all their VCs (which in the end they did not) and some other assumptions about the tactical situation. -zefram
