Dear All
I'm reading a lot of e-mail (& looking on Ty's website) and theres
a lot of stuff about changing rules for this/that which seem to me to be
fundamental to the game. To me this is a bit like playing a game of
tennis, and rather than learning how to hit the
ball into the opponents court or serve well, it's like saying, "I wanna
really hit the ball hard so I'm going to make the opponent's court area 5
times as big. I must admit i really don't have a problem with the
experience or talent system and don't see a need for major overhaul.
Hi Cas
When you get to be master level you sometimes want to do some tinkering
because your at the peak. Bobby Fisher, Grand Master of Chess, suggested
altering chess games by allowing the player to place his back row any way
the player wanted. Talk about changing the rules that are fundamental to
the game of Sanctified Chess!
As one of those who tinkers with the rules, I've burned rubber all the way
to the finish line and I've also crashed and burned in this game. Sometimes
you just want to see what can be done to that old flathead Ford. Strip down
the chrome, pump up that fuel intake, harden that suspension. Its still a
Ford, but now its MY Hot Rod Ford. (Even if the bank owns the pink slip or
someone else owns the copyright.)
So sometimes these rules are a bit of whimsy that we are just hashing out on
this site, and not necessarly a demolition derby. We're all talking shop
here.

interesting.
