[s-d] A walk down memory lane

[Daniel Lepage <dpl33@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You know what I miss?

Rules that looked like this:
{{
 Being Meta-Frozen functions identically to being Proto-Frozen, with 
the following additions:

	• 	 If the location would become substance Fire, it does not, and 
instead a random adjacent location becomes substance Fire.
	• 	 If a Bomb Gnome would explode in the location, it does not.
	• 	 If a Can of Whoopass would be Cracked open in the location, it 
does not.
	• 	 If a KEMOSABE Missile detonates in the location, the effects that 
would normally occur in the location instead occur in all adjacent 
locations, and if any of the adjacent locations are themselves 
Meta-Frozen, they too shunt the effects to all adjacent locations, 
excepting those that have already been affected by the Missile or have 
already shunted the Missile's effects. [[Essentially, KEMOSABE 
overloads the suppressive field, and with the twisted physics, gets 
sent everywhere nearby.]]
	• 	 If a Force Ability targets a Meta-Frozen location, it instead 
targets a random adjacent location, regardless of if the new target 
could be legally chosen. If a Force Ability targets an object in a 
Meta-Frozen location, instead a random adjacent location is chosen, and 
a random legal target in that location, if any, is instead targeted. It 
is legal for an object otherwise out of range to be targeted by this. 
This section supercedes rule 815. [[So you can't target the square, but 
could get one normally out of your range. Also note that Force Pulling, 
etc, puts an item in a location, and this rule causes that effect to be 
supplanted with the item you're trying to get flying elsewhere, with 
either kind of frozen.]]
	• 	 No Gremlin may target, choose, or perform any action on any object 
in the location, unless that Gremlin is in the same location.
	• 	 Destruction may not be Wreaked on any player in the location.
}}

How many players still remember what all those things did?

I confess that as of when I stumbled across this section, I couldn't 
remember how KEMOSABE Missiles work... which is kind of embarrassing, 
since I think I might've proposed them...
