"Hiding" is a unique name already...

Wanna define 'X'

Why the exponential prices?

I find something humourous about the statement that 'Gremlins don't get any
now, but may in the future'.

The thing I'm worried about is overcomplication - I'm playing this game,
administrating a face-to-face game locally, and now running a subgame (IHN)
too... I could keep most of the ruleset in my head back when I first joined,
but it's been becoming progressively harder to remember what everything is
and what it all does. I'm not sure I'd be able to function at all if things
got much more complicated. Although I suppose some of you would see that as
a good thing ;)

Then if you're out of paper, you can't get new paper because you'd need a
forum. Though I suppose you could ask someone privately for it...
