So if you wanted to add the tiles -> windows rule, you would have (...) (25 years ago, 22-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

| | | | | My thinking is that the person with the box only has to follow the one rule they choose. At that point in the receive-trade-send cycle, they are just dealing with the (potential) mess other people have left. So the current box-holder shouldn't have (...)

What about in the scenario Paul brought up later in the thread? How would that be resolved in your (...) (25 years ago, 23-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

Then you cross out that rule, and add a new rule to the end of the list. So if you picked a rule "take slopes, and (...) (25 years ago, 23-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

| | | | I really think this box will die a horrible, quick death. Once you get more than about 3 rules going, many people are going to get the box, and have NOTHING that meets the rules to grab a piece they want. I would have zero interest in such a box. At (...)

In addition to this (according to how I was thinking of it), you would have to follow the variable rules as well. If the rules are: Trade only (...)
