Nobody has EVER used this feature. It needs a little buff.

Actual gameplay as gameplay seems more suited to a place like BlogNomic.
In Agora, such rules generally seem to exist only to be scammed; at
least, people are likely to treat them that way even if they're meant to
be pure gameplay. But if it's just a normal game with no interaction
with everything else, why put it here in Agora rather than as a
standalone game, especially as many people might not be interested in
it?

I'm interested in playing this game "fairly", but there are lots of
things that I can't even decide whether are scams.  For example, make
a large map and the ship will run out of energy, then be useless at
the end; is that intended?

We keep getting rid of contests, but we keep wanting them:  proto:
bring back simple contest framework not tied to heavy contract baggage."
