the Expel rule first. So this is really making a de facto administrator of
the game whom we're allowing complete control over everything. I'm not sure
I want that. (It may be okay, and may make the game more fun if used
responsibly. I'm just hesitent to pass this for now.)

OK, I see what you're getting at with this (I didn't at first).

general, xdy means what I defined it as though, and I was a little confused

I only caught the implications of your prop this morning (it was my room,
after all). It's a handy fix and
I'll look for other places where this mod impacts the dice.

Perhaps I needed more clarity, and since it won't impact anything that
happens next nweek I won't carp.
I intend to mete out superpowers somehow, and shuffling the list seemed to
a good starting point. I had
to give Antonio a random superpower from the list this nweek, and that was
straightforward because
noone else had one. Once multiple players acquire superpowers, the present
rule doesn't really cover
how distribution should happen. To wit: if someone dies in the game
tomorrow, they too could very well
receive a dice roll of 6, and also hence, get Null Field which belongs to
Antonio. Nothing precludes 2 players
from having the same superpower right now.
Now that I think about you comments in detail, I see that sorting would be
moot, because the shuffled list
would already be in the proper order (again a more detailed wording may be
needed). 
The 11th hour submission of this didn't help the cause, but noone bothered
to respond to my discuss
post about meting out the superpowers. Seems like dying to acquire one is
counter-productive (to my
strategy, at least).

That is all.
