We could ask Everett if he wants to play.  Things went a lot more smoothly 
in the rules and escrow stuff last game.


I suspect he would want to amend the escrow to allow amendments to those 
portions that are not required to be performed simultaneously, like 
combined movement and alliances to avoid issues of someone simply 
forgetting to enter the right portion or not getting time to amend an order 
before the last person sends in an answer.

I think the escrow was the main rules area he was really bothered by and if 
we are willing to view the second escrow more as a mechanism to keep people 
from forgetting to send in their orders than as a straight jacket, he'd 
probably be willing to give it another go.
