-Players, I'd think.-

>When do the players send their throws?
-As soon as possible.-

>Is it possible to change one's throw?
-Doesn't look like it.-

>What if the judge's e-mail address is hidden/bouncing?
-We should be able to figure it out based on where their Nomic messages are coming from. If it's bouncing, well, that's always a risk anyway, isn't it?-

>How do we find out who won?
-We pay attention and see who got the attribute.-

>When does the winner gain eir coveted attribute?
-Whenever Dave feels like recognizing it.-

-Um, so then how would you /rather/ we vote and propose rules and play Go? It's fine to force message sendings as long as the rule features a backup plan if a player doesn't post (usually they lose out on something).-

-I have no idea what it has to do with pirates, but I like it. Makes telling people about this game /so/ much more interesting.-

-Now now, where's the fun in legibility?-
