I assume that when you said "you can just zip through all the rooms in 
3 days" you meant "can't"; if so, that wasn't at all clear to me from 
the prop. I thought it just meant that the rooms that you visited 
didn't count until the end of the nday, at which point they all got 
added to the list (to avoid a race condition).

Putting that in a comment would be very helpful, yes.

Also, this still has the problem that a player who falls behind in the 
mapping race can stop anyone else from winning by simply moving to the 
Closet and staying there, so that nobody else can get in.

Maybe we should change the Closet Ordinances so that it's possible to 
get somebody out of it?
