All Titles of Champion awarded since 1020 came into existence are therefore null and void. ====================================================================== Reasoning & Arguments Judge: To put it simply, there is no justification in the Ruleset for thinking that this Rule is lacking in legal force. The term "eNomic" is ambiguous--it may mean Agora only, or it may mean any Nomic played via the internet. But in either case, it certainly *includes* Agora, and those Players listed in the Registrar's report as having the Title of Champion do indeed have that Title. It may be that there are others not listed who also have that title, but that is not the subject of this CFJ, and I leave that determination to future Judges. ====================================================================== Evidence (added by Judge): Rule 755 Rule 755/0 (Mutable, MI=1) Champions Let there be known the Patent Title known as Champion. This Patent Title shall be given to every Player who Wins a Game of eNomic, or who has Won a Game of eNomic. This Patent Title shall be awarded automatically, without need for a Proposal. If a Player Wins a Game despite a handicap factor X, then that Player shall instead receive the Patent Title "Champion*X", substituting for X the ratio of the Points required for that Player to Win, over the Points required for an unhandicapped Player to Win.
