Re: [s-d] Re: Emergency?

["Martin R Crowther" <cybersanctuary@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure we are in a state of emergency any more as the situation is in 
hand, although I do agree that we should take view of the situation and take 
advantage of it. We (well Wonko) had already started to tidy up some 
clutter, and we can rebuild from the rules we currently have (as opposed to 
starting completely from scratch). I do think something needs to be done 
though.

What do people want out of this game? To create? (yes) To argue the rules? 
(not really, but it interests me and Peter seems to be for that, and Wonko 
seems to have the most experience with them) To play the subgames? (yes, 
some - although this is where the chaos takes place so...) To watch what 
happens? (oh yeah, especially if I started the chaos in the first place. 
although I do like to join in and make it worse :) ) ... anything else?

It does seem like most of the play is taking place in subgames. Does anyone 
feel we should start from scratch and rebuild the rules... the good ones 
will just get re-propped anyway, and any others will be ignored or built 
better. Maybe we should limit the number of subgames as this seems to divide 
our focus to much.

Some thoughts to think. Please, anyone?! Any other suggestions or ideas? You 
don't even have to agree with them - just shout them out.
