Spelunking the Rules Contest
Delve One Results 1. Stupidest Delve. I am tempted to ignore Wooble's entry, as it can be said to be destructive to eir self-interests to deregister, given that it merely adds to eir Agoran reputation. Still, technically it resets eir score, and the reputation is rather stupid. 1 Piton for Wooble. 2. Best Delve Among the Delves, the top two are omd (proposing Marvy as an alternate for Discharge) and Murphy (Patent Titles involving registration, Marvy, and Scamster). Between the two, it's a tough choice. In my pseudo-ranking system, I'm giving 1 point for using one goal, 4 for two goals, 9 for three goals, modified for style. omd's use of Marvy is particularly clever; who wouldn't want to be declared Marvy for a week after facing criminal charges? So that's +2 style, so that's 4+2 = 6. Murphy's patent titles are mixed, especially Zeitgeist (cluttering up the Herald's report with more platonically-awarded trivial titles) and two for new players (too much?). I'm especially nervous about powerful dancer, I don't want to encourage the join/get elected/disappear cycle. So that's -2 style, for 9-2 = 7. So, at 7-6, it's 3 Pitons for Murphy! (Though I'll probably vote for omd's proposal and against Murphy's). Thus endeth the first delve.
