Well, I suppose it's been a year since I sent the above message. I may
be one year closer to my death, but Agora clearly isn't, given that the
game never ends.

This has been a great year, and I've had an unreasonable amount of fun
for sending and receiving messages to a mailing list. Thanks to everyone
who has been a player for making this game what it is :).

Gratuitous response:

If you accept my previous argument, i.e. that my statement should be
interpreted in the classical logic way, then there's nothing
hypothetical in my statement.

If you don't, then this seems like a good argument to me.

Re: BUS: Re: OFF: Re: Free Tournament Intent

I support the below intent.

Sorry, I intend with 3 Agoran consent to host a Free Tournament with the
following Regulations (i fixed a typo)


I object to this, and to the previous intent.

Nothing against the idea, but given the confusion over the consent level,
and also that the scoror can win, and the scoror is choosing the weapon,
just want to make sure there's enough interested supporters (assumed
competitors?) to make it sporting.

-G.

Okay this time I intend to create a Free Tournament with the following

Regulations, with TWO Agoran Consent.
1. Introduction (this section has no legal effect)
Agora is one of the great inventions of the internet as it comes to human
play. Agora has lasted 20 years and provided enjoyment to the people who
have played this game, who surely number in the hundreds. As a longstanding
game, Agora is saddened by the fact that another great platform of
internet gaming, adobe flash, will end at the end of 2018. We hereby
resolve to play one of the greatest and most influential online games of
the just-ended decade, namely flappy bird, to celebrate the legacy of play
that we all share.
2. Scoror
R. Lee is the Scoror of this Tournament. In a timely fashion after this
Tournament's Submission Period ends, the Scoror SHALL and CAN by
announcement certify each Score and determine the winner as set out later
in these Regulations (section 7). If R. Lee does not timely do this, e is
disqualified from this Tournament and is ineligible to win this Tournament
or to have a certified score. If R. Lee does not perform eir duties as
Scoror in a timely fashion, any other player may deputize for the Scoror to
complete the Scoror's duties in accordance with the deputization rules in
the Agoran ruleset.
3. Joining this Tournament
Any player of Agora may join this Tournament by submitting a Score by the
methods defined later (due to the Free Tournament rules, non-players cannot
play)
4. Submission Period
This Tournament's Submission Period shall begin 24 hours after this
Tournament is initiated, and it shall end 7 days after it begins.
5. Method of Play
Each competitor in this Tournament, throughout the Submission Period, shall
attempt to achieve the highest score possible in the game found at the
following online link: https://flappybird.io/ . No other version of the
game flappy bird is to be used apart from that found at that link.
6. Method of Submission
During the submission period, players can submit Scores by sending emails
to the public forum. Scores must be contained within screenshots, attached
to the player's email or linked to in that email. These screenshots must be
accessible to all players and must depict both a completed game of Flappy
Bird, played by the above listed link, and an additional internet tab open
in which the player's Agoran username is typed. Players may submit as many
Scores as they want, but when a player submits a higher score than eir
previous Score, the previous Score ceases to be a Score and the higher
Score becomes that player's Score
7. Certification and Victory
If the Scoror is satisfied that any submitted Score satisfies the
conditions set out in sections 5 and 6, and the Scoror does not have strong
and articulable reasons to believe a Score has been obtained through
methods other than legitimate Flappy Bird play by the Agoran player that
submitted the Score, the Scorer shall certify that score after the end of
the Submission Period, as described in section 2. The player with the
highest certified Score is the winner of this Tournament, which shall be
determined by the Scoror only after the certification of all legitimately
submitted Scores.
8. Safety Valve
When the Scoror determines the winner of this Tournament, that player (the
player with the highest Score) immediately wins this Tournament  unless the
determined winner is the Scoror. If the determined winner is the Scoror,
the Scoror may win this Tournament with Agoran Consent. If this happens
each player SHOULD check if the Scoror's Score is indeed the highest score
and if it is legitimate and complies with these rules, and if that is so,
support the Scoror's intent to win this Tournament, and if not, object to
this intent.
