I dunno.

It wasn't in the earliest mail archive version of that rule, and I can't 
remember it ever being an issue.  I suppose there's some logic to requiring a
progression, or not awarding lots of low-effort lower degrees, doesn't seem
particularly important though.

Also, looking back at the earliest version, I love this bit:
  A person may use a Degree with eir name

I'm guessing that it likely just made sense to themselves at the time. Why

*whole* thesis.

Based on that suspicion, I think it's just spectacle creep that we consider
that now to be a bit silly.

Not yet unfortunately. Currently I prepare it manually just before I
post it. If I have time and it looks complicated, I post a draft a day
or two early for corrections. I'm looking towards automating the
preparation and just feeding in the proposals as JSON, at which point
I'll revisit posting it.

In principle I think this fits very well into the Herald's general area; the
question is really how much new stuff is being added and therefore how much 
work,
and how you want the theme to evolve.  And as a society, I think it's nice to
spread employment around, *provided* we have willing hands.  If a player without
a job has a keen idea, it's good to spread the joy of office duties around, as
long as it doesn't become dormant right away, like the Reporter did (and if
it does become dormant, the Herald can always run for election for the new
office).

Interestingly, for a long time the responsibility was elsewhere, from R1370/13:
  The Rulekeepor shall retain a copy of each Final Thesis.

As an example of theme-evolution, the Herald used to be the Referee-equivalent,
because we considered the punishments to be a matter of lost honor, and past
version of cards were implemented as "negative" patent titles.  Split off
because of the workload, and once split on it gradually lost its connection to
"honor".

Someone (I forget who?) protoed a Historian office sometime in the last several
months.

Speaking of workload, I remind the Herald of the Silver Quill for Jan 2017, 
that never happened :).

Your efforts as Herald are appreciated, but the Herald already does have a
ton of responsibilities and you wear a lot of hats now. Plus that
University Director role would also be well-kept by a long-tenured Player
or person, while the Herald role doesn't necessarily need someone with

shift to distribute those responsibilities so we maintain a kind of

Beat me to that suggestion. Dang, I wanted to look smart.

If the org could issue stamps, the education system could become an
alternate Economic win condition. And no matter who uses the University
stamps, the theses and degree papers would help consolidate some of the old

it, it's been a while since we've had a theme, and the economy is sort of

a theme.

An elaborated Grants/Departments/scholarship theme is one we've never tried, I

Maybe to the extent of replacing the political power system; we've been doing 
Prime

AKA: Foster home for deviant topics so that the CFJ system can flow more
smoothly for practical purposes.

Also, a way to better keep our theses treasures. I'd like to improve the
state of our Agoran Library! It's a pity that its been a bit neglected and
I'd like to fix that.

In light of recent events and how CFJs can reasonably be considered
improper grounds to discuss certain topics, and in the spirit of further
progressing the development of the library of Agoran Wisdom, I suggest
"Thesis Bounties" of a sort (along better thesis keeping and creation), to
provide a proper home for these foster issues, while at the same time
expanding our library.

Turning a problem into profit!

(Also I apologize for social faux passes I might've done, I understand a
bit better what most people use CFJs for now. I just, if I may use a rude
comparison, got a happy crotch explosion the size of Hiroshima when I saw
the Ambiguity CFJ and have been blinded by intellectual lust since.)

I also request to be laid off Judging as I'd like to dedicate my efforts

of hijacking CFJs.

Rule 
University Director:

The University Director is an Office; its holder is responsible for
maintaining the Agoran Library, as well as mentor potential theses-writers
and coordinate the thesis creation and assessment process.

The University Director has (certain amount of funding from Agora) to
promote activities which may further the achievements and wisdom of Agora,
such as the creation of theses according to points of interest that they
track and post in their Monthly Report (example, certain CFJs. A thesis
would be able to better answer and process those CFJs instead of the
judicial system.)

I remember there being posted some rework ideas to the education system,
perhaps this can help to those endeavors.
