Like the idea of an agreement, and a bit more handy rules, especially for verification.

Also I like your idea about new graphical std. but; That is pretty much up to FM and others to set.

Rest of it; I disagree with.

I dont really care about performance/watt when it comes to the super-heavy-weight class, the formula#1....
I dont agree that playing just to win... It has to be done in a decent way, you have to be able to be proud of what you've accomplished, and I know I wont be if I did it in a hollow manner.... (However; I am not good at "the american way")

I hate quoting Massman;
But Kingpin is a golden point, always admired his work, obviously not always enjoyed it (hated being beaten in 01SE, which I believed was my game )
But ALOT of guys does well WITHOUT cheating.... I think Hipro5 is to be mentioned as well (yea yea, dont get overjoyed, dont like the concept of stripping down clothes/t-shirts for events with only same gender represented!)
.... My reason for picking this up is to back it up, I am one of those "childish" people who actually have faith in a vast majority showing how it should be done, FAIR PLAY, will push out the not so fair in the cold....
Maybe my "childishness" will suffer a loose in a few months, but I believe the pressure that FUGGER felt during the Andre ban thread, the obvious disrespect for not playing fair, with the soul purpose of winning - and not honoring others work, doesnt pay in the long run...... I for one is looking much forward to see if the pressure will make a difference for GOOC 2010, and I'll be the first to say "thank you Charles" if he enters and play it square and fair...
