[spoon-discuss] Random Comments!

["David E. Smith" <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a random list of stuff I noticed that I'd *love* to see changed
before the ballot, assuming anyone gives a damn about my opinion these
days...

In p888: Why make Immutable rules start at #2000? Given that the whole R&D
and Testing phases takes 15 nweeks, it's certainly possible that we'll
reach "real" object 2000 before the whole Immutable thing has run its
course, and that'll seriously break the database. (Unless you want to have
two things numbered 2000, 2001, 2002, etc. which also breaks the
database.) Numbering them in the standard fashion is trivial -- I can add
an "immutable" ruletype to the system easily enough. (The fact that I have
no idea what the devil these are supposed to do is another issue
entirely.)

In p909: Bread and Wine? Wow. At first glance, I thought, "wha? we don't
have that" then I re-read the rules and found out that we've had both of
those objects in there for a while, and I just didn't know. Sometimes,
it's kinda impressive just how much stuff we have. (The current ruleset
takes about 85 pages to print, using Mozilla's default settings.
Obviously, "Less Is More" just isn't working. :)

(Aside: If anyone is really really bored during my road-trip downtime,
feel free to create a big list of Keywords that need to be added. I've
been a bit lax on those the past few nweeks. Make it a proposal, get some
easy points. :)

The Jedi Lord is asked to update the Jedi Roster -- nobody got their Force
Recovery for this nweek.

In p917: Section A.4. should probably have a bit higher Chutzpah, just in
case.

In p919: You might want to put one of those on the Grid in a random
location. There's not that much bonus stuff out there anyway -- maybe even
add in a "oh, while we're here, create and distribute another half-dozen
or so random bonus boxes" clause. There's not nearly enough randomness in
our lives. :)

In p928: Is the language in my revised veto power clear enough? Basically,
I want to be fairly clear on the fact that I don't generally intend to use
the veto in a malicious or selfish fashion -- only to try to keep the
game, and my brain, from breaking.
