I'd disagree at this point, TM. If some people have not read the book at all, they can stand on their head but they won't find the answer however much they try. It is kind of stupid to spend several hours in browsing different books just to realize in the end that you could not in any way find the right answer because it was not in any book you have.

On the other hand...

My opinion on this is that even UT should stay It's just personal, though, but I believe most of the most interesting stuff is in there. Maybe we could make two kinds of games, depending on the current interest of players: a "non-UT" and an "UT" version; and we'd choose which version will be played depending on the current players.

As to the inboxes, I believe it's necessary to have at least five spaces free, that means at maximum fifteen messages in your inbox whenever you are leaving the Downs. (And with only two players in a team, the five spaces might suffice quite nicely.) Because in the four player teams, you need to count with at least three PMs coming from your teammates, and it may happen that someone else PMs to you at that moment, so... at least I did so and never had the problem (though sometimes it was close).
