 First, I thought comex's win by Clout didn't succeed. I thought I blocked it
 successfully.

Me too.

Also, while you've no doubt put a good amount of work into this thesis, it
doesn't appear to be any more than a description of every win since you've
registered. Certainly that effort is deserving of recognition, but, in my
opinion, it is not high level work. This thesis, like the previous one
written to paraphrase the rules (which I believe you also authored), lacks
analysis delving into the deeper aspects of the game and what the greater
significance of these wins was, for example.

Because the thesis is rather long and detailed, I will vote to award you
Bachelor of Nomic, but no higher.
