I humbly submit the following Docket #1 argument:
Eff-arr-quee should be considered vastly superior to all other games.
I will refute the arguments of My Fellow Counselor, V.J. Rada, on this
matter.
-Eff-arr-quee is as theoretically flexible as Agora, but has settled
into a more stable game structure. It has regular rounds, which
prevents the problems Agora routinely has with bad economies and the
like.
-Eff-arr-quee is older than Agora, as it originated while Nomic World
still existed. My Fellow Counselor is well, cough, mistaken on this
point. Obviously, since Agora came into existence after Nomic World, a
fact recorded in the Agoran ruleset, it is younger than Eff-arr-quee.
-The original Suberian intent was to allow the game to be whatever the
players wanted. To quote Suber "The substantive portion of the game is
deliberately simple so that the players can decide, through
rule-changes, what kind of game they want to play." [1]
-Agora's playerbase, while no doubt excellent, is not so dedicated as
My Fellow Counselor believes. Note, for instance, that the office of
Rulekeepor is currently vacant, and that there are often vacancies in
such critical offices.
-By My Fellow Counselor's logic, all other board games, being
themselves board games, must be superior to Agora.
