Looks like 1-day wasn't enough for me.  Just got an internet connection a 
short while ago (my familiy lives way too far in the woods to even get a 
normal phone line).

I think that as long as the hands remaing specific (just The Grid, just 
Football, etc) they are ok.  Other than that, I think that any vote 
affectors should be removed, including the IOB and everything else.

I think I stated my position about voting.  My specific thing wanted: a 
proposal that removes the vote bonuses for philosophies.

I know I typed it at some point, but don't recall if the "Hotmail Randomly 
Replace Your Giant Email With Just Your Damn Signature Feature (TM)" ate it 
up, so here's a summary of an idea to replace the system with:
Instead of a single philosophy, allow people to choose a group of 
"philosophy parts" or "aspects" as I'll call them.  Each aspect could be 
something like greedy/uncaring/generous, or scheming/impulsive, or 
forgiving/defensive/vengeful, etc.  Make groups and let people choose one of 
each.  Once again, your baby, Glotmorf, so let's hear what you think.
