-Okay, here's a thought, Everyone think way back to a failed proposal some 
time ago which attempted to tack three new 20x20 blocks onto the Grid, 
declaring them the Empire Grid. While I admit now that trying to attach it 
to the Grid was probably a bad idea, having another grid (named something 
completely different) for thrashing each other on would be a good idea. The 
rules of this new grid (well, rule, anyway) would be very different from 
301, and so it wouldn't make things all confusing. We could then blow up the 
old Grid with impunity whenever someone won via it or points, provided the 
new grid was left alone, and blow up the new grid whenever someone won via 
conquest or the obliteration of lots of stuff. We could also have other more 
specialized grids... like one for rules, even.

If we don't do that, then let's blow the existing grid up to 40x40, make the 
center 10x10 a no-fly, no-throw, no-shoot, totally specialized Football 
zone, and beat the living daylights out of each other all across the other 
1500 squares.-
