Zarpint asked:
>Huh? With Pseudocode? how?

It amuses me, and possibly only me, that someone might tell someone
where to go, inadvertently using pseudocode.  In which case there is a
label ready.  It's unlikely to be reached, as our invective is usually
more inventive and less spiritual.

Having previously proposed:
>Give the Player with the greatest Style, without ties, the Title
"Frood
>who Really Knows where Eir Towel is", if such a Player exists.

Why not just give em (i.e. yourself) a towel?

I don't think the current style rules (even truncated) add anything
interesting to the game.  It would be more fun if the Style Police
nominated a literary style for the nweek, and then had to submit all
posts in that style, with exceptions for e.g. rule bodies.  There
should also be an incentive for other players to post in the latest
style.

I apologise for being silent all week and then posting a lot of
trivialities at once, but I have been particularly occupied by work
lately.  The pressure has now been reduced, and I aim to continue work
on a protoprop of a rulebook for Political Robot Tafl.

I accept that a finite grid is more practical, both for tracking and
for  viewing, but there is potential for a range of shapes and
topologies.  Perhaps the Grid has been blown into a number of pieces,
some of which have curled up in various ways.  

I like Teucer's idea of paying energy to move, but I'm not sure whether
it would enhance gameplay.  I think it's best to start without it,
first.  Farming Life cells is also interesting, but it's a different
game.

I wish to announce that I am very bad at chess, even worse than all the
other players who have said they're no good.  But I might play if I
have little to lose.

P.S.
We always used to say 'proddy sorceror', in an unconvincing Irish
accent.

In case the quoted if...elseif blocks count.  And endif that one, too.
