Sorry, I don't think I can do it this week, but I would be honoured to
serve the Gods next week if such service is still needed.

Note, in case it's useful: but for the mercy in Your Supreme
Eminence's latest pontifical decree, I believe the contest would have
been over, with everyone but Jason Cobb eliminated.

Heretical Timeline, which we may shun, as it ignores Your divine and
wisely retroactive Pontifical Decree #3:
* August 11: the last time anyone other than Jason Cobb submitted a rule.
* August 13: elimination period begins.
* August 15: everyone but Jason Cobb eliminated

Take care Aris, I've found over time that sometimes Agora is a good
way to occupy my mind for my health, but sometimes a person just needs
a darned break, too.  Even if the tournament stops right here the
entries have been quite enjoyable, so thank you for running it.  -G.

I'm not doing very well. I've been having both physical health problems and
fairly serious mental health problems, in addition to a bunch of real life
responsibilities (TBH, I'm not sure I can even get to all of those at the
moment). I'd like to remain judge, and am planning to try to fulfill my
responsibilities. If I can't though, I don't want the contest to die just
because I'm no longer able to judge it. This amendment to the regulations would
give me a way to stop that from happening if the need arises. I'm sorry to
everyone for letting you down.

I intend, Without 3 Objections, to amend the Birthday Tournament regulations by
adding the following regulation:

15. The Judge may with 3 Support, appoint a specified player as judge, provided
 that player consents. Upon doing so, the former Judge is no longer Judge,
 and the new Judge assumes all powers and responsibilities of being judge
 and ceases being a contestant, if e was one.



Agora is vastly less important than your health. Please take care of 
yourself. I sincerely do hope that you feel better.

we agoran players don't converse about personal matters very often but for
what it's worth as whatever kind of friend i am (maybe more accurately an
Agoran Enemy ;) ) I wish you the very best in your real life, and please
don't let us make our stuff make you feel guilty in any way. it's just a
silly game.

Take care of yourself first and worry about us later.
