What a wonderful idea -- I <strong>love</strong> this! What fun! Ideas
are already starting to percolate . . .
I'd prefer to have a new forum for suggestions and discussions instead of mailing them in and having them posted them weekly.
I think a forum area for this is a splendid suggestion for discussing ideas, campaigning, and other sport. The email mentioned is the equivalent of making a formal 'entry' to the contest, and such formal enrries will still be posted here. When we get around to polls they'll link from this page as well.
I made a `forum' to discuss this at our <A href='http://forum.chessvariants.com'>discussion board</a>. You find it under the name `Camel Chess' below `Chess Variants'.

Can you clarify the rule regarding making up to five suggestions please? Can an entrant make his or her suggestions in more than one email at various times or must an entrant make all of his or her suggestions in one email such that if that email contains less than five suggestions then nevertheless that is all the suggestions that that entrant may make in this contest? Is there any possibility that the rules of this contest might be changed so as to state 'a total of up to five suggestions, sent in one or more emails, in each calendar month during the running time of the contest' please?
Could you clarify the rule about suggestions concerning pieces please? Where pieces are colourbound, is it permissible to have a suggestion about changing a piece where the change depends upon the colour of the square upon which the piece starts? This would mean that pieces with more than one item of that type on the board could be split into two types of pieces: however that would only work if the pieces for which they become changed are colourbound. For example, suppose that someone wished to suggest that a knight upon its own colour becomes swapped for a (2,2) leaper and that a knight upon its countercolour becomes swapped for a (3,1) leaper. Would that suggestion be permissible under the rules? Please note that I am not wishing to make that suggestion, I am just using it as a way of illustrating the question which I am asking about the rules so that, if it is permissible, further thought may be given to the matter of what substitutions to suggest.
The minor tweaks I added should answer your questions. (Yes, you can spread out your official suggestions. Yes, you can make a split nomination for a piece.) Thanks for asking!
This is Brilliant. What a Pandora's box U've opened. Will U use cut-off dates for certain elements to be voted on? For example, no more pieces may be submitted after 02/12/03.
<p>Or will it just be the 16 (32?) most popular pieces up until the March date that are the default set?
<p>How do we know what rules `are` agreed upon?
<p> Can't U just smell wheels turning around the world...
