Oh dear! What an awful idea.

I assume you are talking about a new "rulebook" as well as the one we've
got at the moment?

A "How to" guide is a waste of time IMO. That's what a players team-mates
are for.

I think the current rulebooks are excellent. They don't need changing.
Can't you just leave them as they are? If you want to publish some
information on your website or something, go right ahead? Just because you
have lots of free time at the moment Clint, please don't go tinkering with
everything!

P.S - I for one, don't agree with player ratings either. I don't strongly
disagree like Darrell, but if I had to make a choice, I'd say it was a bad
thing. The poll on the Bobbins Website has been changed btw for anyone who
wants to vote on this issue? Not very scientific I know, but it'll still
be interesting to see the results.

** To replace it. Also to save players money - instead of having to buy 2/3 books you need just the one would be my hope. Not sure if that is viable yet or not though. These are early days and I am just feeling around.

*** Yes if you have such a group that are helpful. If not you flounder and drop at least 50% of the time.

>I think the current rulebooks are excellent. They don't need changing.

*** I don't agree for the reasons given above and the emails we get each week asking for clarification about X or Y. Actually everyone so far who has replied to this on Rulebooks has queried me about some aspect of the game or not even quite recently... :slight_smile:

** I wish I had lots of free-time. :slight_smile:
