-That reminds me... I'm working on a new Gridlike thing that would incorporate most of the basics of the old Grid (say, revision 5 or so), but not the shape... this could be a sticking point, so I'll bring it up in discussion. I'm envisioning this being the area outside the old Grid (whose existence was denied by the masses when the Empire Grid prop was shot down), with a big Grid-shaped hole in one side. For reasons which are mostly aesthetic, I'm thinking a big circle, 40 spaces wide, with most (96%) of a 20x20 square chopped out of its middle and lower left, leaving two thin arms on the left and bottom. There could also be islands or something in the hole - I recall the grid-nuking prop saying something about a quarter of the mass surviving. Anyway, we're talking about something around 850-900 squares (I counted twice and got very different answers, so I have to find a new method of counting), which seems kind of big, although I'd like to see some faster transport on this Grid that makes the size I'm talking about less of a big deal. We could also put new ideas onto this Grid, like that channeling thing we were discussing a little while ago. Anyway, this isn't at all urgent. As I recall, Dave can (and probably will) veto any prop that attempts to make this unless it provides a Ministry to keep track, and I won't be able to set up such a thing for a little while, never mind find a way to describe in a rule a circle with a square cut out of it...

Any thoughts other than "Baron, maybe you should lie down for a little while?"-
