SkArcher, I strongly object to stripping most of the color from the game
like this. Why do you want such a bare ruleset? We'd just build back
the same or similar things again, and this way we can use these things
to build more interesting rules rather than starting from scratch.

Can you at least point out _specific_ problems, not just "We don't need this",
or "This can be abused", or "This makes things difficult for Dave", which
can be dealt with in ways besides Desert Twistering the rules?

But I really don't understand the opposition to r1637. Not only is it
important philosophically to emancipate ourselves like that, it's important
practically, since a game rule may at some time conflict with some national
or international law, and it's very important to make clear that the game
rules are the only ones that apply. Further, some game action unspecified
in the rules may conflict, so it's not enough just to have the Ruleset
take precedence - we need to remove other legal systems from existence,
or we will be having to deal with all of them in CFIs or such.
