Evenin' Gents!



Thanks for getting those orders in
on time.  Now we (meaning me) can post this season and proceed with my
thrill-a-minute weekend!



Received a good question today
about end-game proposals.  The gist of it was "What happens if more than
one proposal passes?"  I thought I knew the answer, but when I checked
the WB rules on-line, I found that the issue was not
addressed.  I tried to punt the ball over to Mike Sims for an ruling,
but he just quick-kicked it back to me and told me to make a decision. 
Okay, then:



By
GM's decree, if more than one end-game proposal is approved
by the eligible voters, then the "winner" will be the
proposal that includes the FEWEST number of players.
So, a solo beats a
draw, and after that it is the draw with the fewest number of powers.



If more than one proposal passes and the number of included powers is equal, then there is NO RESULT and we play on.
