I like thith...though it'th pothible that a thlot occupied by a player that geth knocked into Limbo may be taken by another player joining the game, tho the Limbo'd player might not be able to get back into the thame team. On the other hand, that addth an interethting dynamic.

I'm glad this version seems to please at least one :) Hopefully we'll be able to get this game going.... I had a plan to stop the continuous tackling... though it looks like the Voice is gonna make a getaway.

Aw.  I wath counting on that. :)

Well, by fixing the rule I acknowledge the bug, and so it looks like you might get your wish this time.

Ah but Glotmorf, I am a cool, calculating man... I should gain one charm for the passage of the proposal, should I not?
