I could've sworn we changed that charm bit to a style bonus... maybe 
that was another drink...

Well, good job.

I've just noticed some things that happen now, which I hadn't noticed 
earlier. I'll list them here in case I'm not the only one who's 
surprised by what just happened:

When all dimensions were cleared save Respect, the Force went too. I 
forgot that it was a Dimension.

When all players go to Limbo, we all drop all carryable objects in our 
possessions, in accordance with 301.B.3. This includes bagged Gnomes.

When "All Gnomes not in Gnome bags are destroyed" *all* Gnomes are 
destroyed, 'cos we unbagged and dropped 'em all automatically. This has 
the side effect of updating the Weather three times. The Weatherman 
might want to take note of this, as I believe e gets points out of it.

When the Yeti goes to a random square, the square it left refreezes 
(the removal of the "Freezing" attribute from all squares already 
happened, so this actually does freeze something); there's no record of 
the Yeti's location anywhere, so I assume it's off the grid somewhere.

When all Gremlins Hide, it triggers the AAAHHH! Gremlin's Primal 
Scream. Regardless of the outcome, Rocky immediately becomes Active, 
because the rule says e does; but if Robin isn't made Active by the 
scream, no method is provided for activating em in the future. E's gone 
for good.

The new Instarules are created; they appear on random squares, methinks.

****Nasty Part!****
All Grid squares become of Substance Fire. As per 21.A.3.1, "If the 
Location of a Recycling Center has the substance Fire, it is 
destroyed." Thus, every Grid square containing a Service mall is 
obliterated. I'm not sure what effect this has on the game, but I 
really don't think it's a good one.
****end Nasty Part!****

So, that's the chaos we've been thrown into.

I'll see you at Burning Man.
