Validity: No problems.
Style: Adds two reasonable new rules to play--the blockade and the hit-and-send-
back (+1.0). Clever loopholing of David's immunity provision for the Safe House
(+0.5). Responds to the calls for a Name...and an FRC name to boot (+0.5).
Doesn't limit future rulemakers much (-0.5), although perhaps the blockade will do
that soon enough. Overall, a solid +1.5.
Reflections: The blockade threatens to pin us all at Start! What's a rule-changer
to do! <evil grin>
