Referees

Refereeing the Game of Farcue is one of the amin points of difference between Elves and Dwarfs. As a result, the rules of the Giant Game of Farcue are constantly in flux, depending on whether the Elves or Dwarfs have control of Center Court.
 * Elves like rules to be applied to Giants but not to people
 * Dwarfs like rules to be applied to people but not to Giants

The Giant Game of Farcue is overseen by three Royaly appointed refereeing organisations:
 * Farcue Fairness Committee (FFC)


 * Farcue Rules Board (FRB)

These bodies have no practical power over the game at all, rahter they play a largely ceremonial role. Occasionally representatives of one or more Refereeing body will conduct visits to the offices of Minions, however the Minions are usually given advance notice of this and can take meausre to protect their Giants accordingly. The only body with any actual influence over the Game is The Royal Reserve, the primary body for managing supply of Credits in the Kingdoms. It has been argued that the Chair of the Royal Reserve is more powerful than the King, because the King has to do what the Giants say, the Giants do what the Chair says.

Alan the Green
Alan the Green is a Respected Gentleman of the Knights of Li Bertar, and as such has sworn a sacred oath to remove all rules and impediments the the free flowing of the Game. Alan the Green was originally appointed to the role by King Ronald the Right, and was subsequently reappointed by every King until he decided that it was all about to go pear shaped and retired, handing the reigns over just in time to Ben the Bailer.

Ben the Bailer
Ben the Bailer was appointed by King Geoerge the Wise just before the collpase the Game and the onset of the Global Farcue Crisis. Ben then proceeded to orchestrate a series of brilliant Eco-logical protective mesures designed to ensure that the most important Giants did not fall over, and their Minions survivied with minimal financial hardship. Some people thought this was not entirely the right way to go, including famous Elven Eco-logician Paul the Fairest.

Random bit of dialog...
"Why three organistions? Wouldn't it be more effecient, and more effective if there was just one body that oversaw the whole thing?"

"Yes."

long pause.

"Oh, I see."
