-There's a big difference between evil and highly self-interested. Personally, I prefer evil, but not in this game - people don't vote for your props if they hate you, no matter the merits of the proposals themselves.-

-What happens if you have a perfect square number of players? I mean, it's kind of pointless to have a 4x3 square for nine players, because then everyone should be able to move every checkpoint, and it turns into "declare a move, get a point." I can make a simpler game based on that. In it, players declare a move to a location defined by x and y values and get points. It's a fun game.-
