I'd been wondering who said that!

Your test page does not include my beautiful HTML table. How do
you like them curly braces?

The ASCII grid has 0PW, 0TW, so it's not surprising you're not
convinced of its wisdom.

We could have a Cube that's full of smoke and shielded and
containing more avatars than six. Let's add fire too, so we can
set Cubes on fire with gasoline. And I like the dungeon idea with
high-level monsters. NPC avatars are a good idea. And then we
should add magic spells, like the Jedi stuff we used to have.

Oh yeah, representing them. Well I could make the ASCII grid
bigger. If you don't like ASCII, maybe I could use EBCDIC, or do
you have another idea? (contiguous alphabets are overrated)
