"Give all players 10 points" AND an optional "Give all players 10 points"? I don't think that's what you meant to write, man. Or not man, as the case may
be.

There are some things that I think are neccessary that you haven't included,
such as wiping everything off the grid, and reseting all substances, and
updating the Weather, and lining up the insta-rules, etc.

I could take it out of the refresh prop if people really want me to, but all
that will do is make the refresh prop longer, as I'll have to include most
of the stuff anyway.

As for the reason I added the optional give players 10 points: I was triple-checking to make sure I didn't leave anything out that would actually matter, and accidentally wrote it in again. My bad.

And as for everything eles:
Wipe everything off: Why? Is there actually anything that wouldn't be replaced soon afterwards? I don't think we've really changed much since the last entropy explosion and nweek start.

resetting substances: See above, except for the mining, which really shouldn't matter. But go ahead, it's just 1 more line.

upadating the weather: again, Why? The temperature would remain at 40. Whatever precipitation we have will be balanced. Go ahead, I see no point.
