Writing stylish and entertaining rules after that is always easier. A point for a good sense of place and story. Another two points for actually having a kickoff and for hinting to other players how best to play along, (the eleventeen restrictions). This is looking good for Ed, until I remembered that he must lose 2 points for delay of game... which brings him to 1 point again. Better luck next time. ______________________________________________________________________ Movies, Music, Sports, Games! http://entertainment.yahoo.ca -- Rule Date: 2002-06-14 11:09:08 GMT
