And now an un-announced statement from gameplayer #1:

We are all rulers here. At least anyone can become a ruler if she or he suggests rules for the betterment of THE GAME.

If no one adheres to the rules than the ruler can have a hissy fit or a heree fit [as the case may be], and can storm off and leave this thread. But if and when that happens, the other gameplayers may or may not even notice.

And another thing-just for the record- I might be [just a little bit] overweight but I would never say that I'm "bloated and fattened upon the blood, sweat, and tear of the laboring classes."

{"tears" maybe, but not "tear"}
