DIS: Re: BUS: Re: OFF: [Herald] The Scroll of Agora

Actually, I believe you shouldn't, because you didn't win in connection with CFJ 2878 (since the proposal
purporting to award you a win contradicted the rules at the time), and anyway the Herald is not authorized
(merely mandated) to award Champion, so all purported Champion awards after 2010-9-10 (when the report
was ratified) are invalid. :P

Though I am noting the methods of winning in my report, because
I SHOULD.

(It's actually ok up to 3-Mar-2011 when the previous patent 
title rule 1922 was removed).

DIS: Aerica

I seem to remember that the last time we tried to open diplomatic
relations with the Aerican Empire, we were rejected on the grounds that
we were a game rather than a nation. Their website now says: "...the
Empire welcomes contact with any and all states, whether they are
soverign states, political excercises, simulations, or games." Perhaps
it's time to try again?

P.S. I've (perfunctorily) maintained my Aerican citizenship since then,
on the off chance that it would somehow turn out to be useful.

They're really boring. Can't we just invade?

Not easily. They're also really big.

Re: DIS: Aerica

In theory, there's a governmental structure with laws and stuff. That
should be compatible-in-principle with nomic warfare.

I'm not convinced that war is the way to go, though. I'd rather try
asking nicely first.

Lest ehird start routinely using AI = 3141592653.5 just because e can, I
suggest "... multiple of 0.1 from 0.1 to 9.9, or unanimity".  (Rule 2146
already defines "unanimity" for indices in general, and how math works
with it.)
