If you are referring to the ones that Jason noticed had been omitted, then yes; 
otherwise, I’ll need more information.

PSS this is kind of unrelated (but related to herald) but your last report
omitted some hard labor titles, the next one will have them right?

I’ve got the rules coming although there are a lot of edge cases. I should 
have a draft in the next week.

Suggestion for tournament rule:  Anyone can submit a design wholly
described in text.  Anyone else can try to draw that based on the text.
co-winners for the best pair, judged both for overall good looks but also
match between text and drawing (by popular vote).  secret collaboration
strongly discouraged.

Publius, I don't know how the Diplonomic is coming along, but this (or a
variation) is a simple tournament that goes along with the "birthday" theme.

I've always been a bit meh on its appearance personally.  But I liked the
fact that, apropos to Agora, it could be formally defined in a specialized
language:

Rule 2151/1 (Power=1)
Agoran Arms

  The escutcheon of Agora is defined by the following blazon:
  Tierced palewise sable, argent, and sable, charged with a quill
  and an axe in saltire, proper, and in the chief a capital letter
  A, gules.

  Agora's adopted motto is "Agora n'est pas une fontaine."

[Note (9 January 2009): A rendering of the escutcheon of Agora is at
.]

History:
Created by Proposal 5037 (Zefram, GreyKnight), 28 June 2007
Amended(1) by Proposal 5285 (Goethe), 7 November 2007
Repealed by Proposal 6392 (allispaul) 10 July 2009


The Repeal Proposal beleow was interesting in terms of our conversation
now.  It was controversial (6 voters FOR repeal, 6 voters AGAINST, carried
17/14 due to voting strength).  But its passage (and the tone of the
proposal) implies that it's no longer our coat of arms, and Agoranomic.org
is actually run by rogue monarchists:

}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{
Proposal 6392 (Ordinary, AI=1.0, Interest=0) by allispaul
Arms Anarchy

WHEREAS Agora has graced the world of Nomic with its presence for
nearly 16 years (1600 in Nomic years), and

WHEREAS such a long-running Nomic SHOULD leave behind medieval
trappings, and SHOULD adopt a more modern culture, and

WHEREAS Agora has a responsibility to the lesser Nomics to remove them
from the plagued darkness that now, even now, permeates the very cores
of their beings, and CAN only avail itself of this responsibility
through leadership, and CAN only lead by example, and

WHEREAS nobody even uses shields anymore,

Repeal Rule 2151 (Agoran Arms).

DIS: A logo for Agora

[Reuben Staley via agora-discussion]

Due to a multitude of factors, I've noticed a lot of sentiment to "rebrand"
a bit. Along with this, I would like to raise the discussion of potentially
creating a new logo of sorts for Agora. The coat-of-arms has stood as our
de-facto logo for years (on the website as well as in other places) but its
grays and browns are admittedly rather boring. I think a new logo could do
a lot for the way we're seen. Thoughts?
