The Commission for Ludo Arbitration has suspended all proceedings following confirmation that the official board remains locked in the cabinet in which it is traditionally kept, and that the key cannot be found.
Under Article 004, all major Gaddi disputes must be settled by a best-of-three championship on the official board. A proposal to use an unofficial board was tabled and rejected on grounds of dignity.
“There are other boards. There is one board. I trust the distinction is clear.”
Eleven disputes are now pending, including a seniority question dating to Year 4 and a disagreement over a doorway. A committee has been formed to locate the key. Its first report is expected in due course.
