-You keep missing something. It's a minor point, I know, but it changes the 
nature of these goings-on. We're not Glotmorf's "cohorts." We (I, anyway - 
I'm just assuming things are similar for bd) decided his interpretation of 
the rules was accurate. Given the nature of the interpretation in question, 
this meant somewhat more than it might have otherwise, but that's all it 
was. Eir decision to grant the powers unto us later on was one independent 
of contract.
     Secondly, my decision to back said interpretation was based on a 
belief that, while not yielding those powers after fixing the hole, Glotmorf 
wouldn't kill the Game with them. As of yet, he hasn't. The Game suffers 
right now because people are battling each point up and down and performing 
actions without seeing how the opposing side will react, like blindfolded 
novice chess players blundering across the board. Perhaps a return to an 
earlier time would be preferable. However, this dispute was still present at 
the beginning of the nweek. How do you propose to deal with that, bearing in 
mind that an idea like "just surrender your powers" isn't going to work?-

-Points chosen by you to aid your views? Great, that's helpful... is there 
anyone neutral around here? If so, let them figure it out...-
