I used to be kind of against this, because I'm sick of loophole pokers (Steve,
JeffE, I'm looking in your direction...) but the thing is, we have better
things to do than to try and outrule everyone. That and Steve never does it
anyways. He's just being a smart-aleck and always backs that up with good
building instead. :)

Well, I'm going to put up a set of proposed rules. I think what Derek is
suggesting is giving points for collecting home coloured blocks without stacking
them. I'm not sure I'd want to do that, because that's the same as
MarbleSorting2 we did with Dave last January.
