[spoon-discuss] Dodgerule

[Daniel Lepage <dpl33@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been toying with a subgame idea, and want to know what the general 
populace thinks. The game is tentatively titled Legislative Gunfight, 
and the general premise is that the players are on a small map, say 
5x5, on which they move around and create new rules. New rules, once 
created, can be thrown at other players, sort of like insta-rules. 
There'd be some way to dodge thrown rules (haven't really worked that 
bit out yet); but if you don't dodge it and it hits you, it then 
applies to you for the rest of the round.
	To win, you have to be the only player left who's able to create new 
rules.

Rules could be created like, "this player may only make rules in Haiku 
form", or "this player may not move towards the left of the board while 
Dodging a rule".

Some set of restrictions would have to be imposed on the contents of 
the rules - obviously "This player can't do anything" would be too 
powerful.

The problem is, I can't come up with any reasonable way of ruling out 
the really powerful ones while encouraging really good ones.

Anyone have any suggestions?
