[Herald's History Corner]
At one time, some patent titles were defined as "Unique" patent titles (Rule 1044, repealed 27-Aug-06). When a unique title was awarded, it was revoked from any previous holder, so unique titles tracked current state but were not long-term records of distinction (records of previous holders weren't maintained). The "Frozen Ephemera" section of this report lists the people who happened to hold particular unique titles at the moment those titles' definitions were repealed. ===================== THE SCROLL OF AGORA ===================== Last report: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 Recent Activity: - omd awarded Champion on Nov 14 (for high score win in July); ties ais523 for most High Score victories (x3). - Proposal 7129 purportedly sets up win condition for Bucky; subject of CFJ 3124 [Time of Last Report] - Bucky wins by paradox for CFJ 3087 (Victory Announcement of 13-Dec-11 has self-ratified; champion awarded 25-Jan-12). --------------------------- DEFINED PATENT TITLES --------------------------- CHAMPION by Cards Taral, G., Murphy, OscarMeyr, root Championship Wooble, root, Taral, OscarMeyr Clout ais523, scshunt High Score Elysion, G., Levi, Murphy (x2), Steve, ais523 (x3), Pavitra, omd (x3), scshunt (x2), root, Wooble, Tiger, Murphy, BobTHJ, Walker Junta ais523, the AFO, omd (x2), G., OscarMeyr, scshunt Leadership ais523 Lotto scshunt, omd Maniac Craig, root Musicianship Zefram, ais523, Wooble, omd, Tiger Paradox G., Murphy, root, BobTHJx2, ais523, ehird, scshunt, Bucky Proposal Human Point Two, Morendil, Steve (x3), Andre (x3), ais523 (x2), Canada, Bucky, G., omd, woggle, Spitemaster, allispaul, Yally, BobTHJ, Murphy, Tiger, scshunt, Andon Renaissance ais523, scshunt, Murphy Solitude ais523 (x2), scshunt (x2), omd Trombones Blob, elJefe, General Chaos, Steve Unspecified Chuck, Dave Bowen, favor, Garth, Ian, Jeffrey, KoJen, Michael, Oerjan, Swann, t, Timothy, Troublemaker at Large, Vanyel(x2), Wes(x2). *(7/6): Chuck, elJefe, Kelly, KoJen, Morendil, Steve, Swann, Troublemaker at Large; *(4/3): Chuck, Kelly, KoJen, Steve, Troublemaker at Large, Wes; *(3/2): Chuck, Kelly, Steve; *(5/3): Kelly, Steve; *(11/6): Kelly *(N/P): Full patent title is Champion*(N/P) where N/P is the winning ratio.
