Subject: [s-d] Cosmology/Subgame

I've been thinking about this for a few days, and I was wondering whether anyone would like to comment on it.  It might be fun to have a cosmology, something like the following:

[Note: this is very preliminary.]

The planet B has several moons.  If there are ever fewer than half of An Insane Number of moons orbiting B, the planet immediately captures an asteroid, which takes up an orbit outside the previously outermost moon's.  It is then the duty of the [as yet undefined] Minister of Astronomy to, without 2 objections, name the new moon.  The initial moons are listed below, in order outward from B:

Bran (covered in burnt sienna dust)
Borscht (covered in burgundy dust)
Banana (covered in brown dust)
Broth (covered in beige dust)
Basil (covered in black dust)
Beetle (covered in blue dust)
Bounce (not covered with dust, but it has rubber mines)

Dust of a certain color can be used to make paint of that color.

There exists an object called the Board; it is initially composed of a 3x3 square of Blocks.  Each Block is in turn composed of a 3x3 square of Boxes.  The Boxes are thus organized into 9 Rows and 9 Columns.   There is an attribute Color, with a Scope of all Boxes, a Range of {burnt sienna, burgundy, brown, beige, black, blue, brass, bronze, blank}, and a Default Value of blank.  Color can be changed by using paint, plating (which comes in brass and bronze) or an eraser, which changes Color to blank.

Then there is a Victory Condition, called "Win by Sudoku."  Basically, if the Board (or a subset of the Board) is a valid Sudoku solution, the Player who affected the Board most recenly wins a Bike Horn.

Brass and bronze are mined on B.  Erasers are made from rubber mined on Bounce.

Hail the Sushi maldecidos of Babel!
