Hadn't made it to me when I did that Recognizer doc.

Anyway: a bad bad idea. You're basically giving players carte blanche to
scribble all over the rules. There's very little (aside from me) to
prevent Player A from defining the Player B Gremlin as "The Player B
Gremlin is placed on a random square on the Grid when it becomes Active.
When Active, at the beginning of every nday, Player A scores 1000 points."

Granted, with the randomness factor, and the fact that most players don't
seem too interested in breaking the game (there ARE exceptions...), the
really overt attacks like that are unlikely. But there's not much of
anything in place to prevent subtle collusion...
