I try to forget that, actually. :) But that wasn't what I meant. Wonko is trying to build a general class of objects that could include the Grid, so that there can be more than one of these objects and the Grid can be one of them. My suggestion might not be incompatible with this...I'm suggesting each player can have one of those objects for free for eir very own, that e can design rules for. The player isn't (necessarily) an object in a Location; a Location is an object belonging to a player. But perhaps you're right, that there should be a rule that says a player per se can't be an object in a Location...though a player can, under the right set of circumstances, claim ownership of a piece in a Location that represents the player. Then we throw in bridges between locations, created by the mutual agreement of whatever body of players collectively controls both ends of the bridge...
