Well there's also the "competition is fun" aspect! We decided on a set of rules. If someone jumps into the lead using those rules, then it's "fun" to see if you can stop them using the same rules, otherwise the win doesn't feel earned. So it's good to keep win conditions as something that's competitive. (winning by victory election was kinda blah, though there were extenuating circumstances in that one such that the "win" was a means to a greater end for some folks). If someone "did something for Agora", the more usual route is a relevant Patent Title.
