DIS: coherent vision for Agora Nomic as an independent policing/judiciary force

(1) judiciary thing: craft some immutables that allow contracts to specify Agora Nomic Arbitration Services as their venue of dispute resolution, possibly including stuff like all eligible contracts must be public and parties must pay a registration point (however those are to be obtained) to

Re: DIS: Agoran MOO?

Nomic World started as a MOO in 1994 or thenabouts. Agora began, on its first mailing list, after the fellow who was maintaining it graduated from college and didn't want to take that hobby with into The So-Called Real World. It had discussion rooms and a voting room where players could register

Re: DIS: Agora itself is a contract

I've always thought that Agora -- should it wish to grow a commercial pseudopod -- would make sense as an independent dispute resolution venue, for real world contracts. This would amount to essentially hanging out a shingle as an arbitration service. Prerequisite of course would be allowing for

Re: DIS: Draft contract for playing chess on the map

You seem to have limited your board to two dimensions, which might be by design instead of oversight. On the other hand, Agora Lands are probably 2D. see http://tipjar.com/games/CHESS/FullBoardStrongKnights.html which was of course inspired by FRC round 256, which involved playing chess in a

i don't see why you're sanctioning the challenger 1 strike when they make a successful challenge. Oh never mind, the "proposed valid rule that would work" is a "possible next play" not an amendment to the challenged rule, which is how I misread it, which misreading persisted long enough to begin

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
