The thing is I think that as a rule if you look at a stats, and it sounds plausible then it probably is, I still think that just giving varpourbotteers the tools to work with and letting them get on with it is

Thats not the point - they are getting organised but only in their own way and the second you try and get them to all go on the same way we get things like this happening.

Anyway I would agree with Frank - just sticky the reference material in another thread, Id saw just one personally, and then its there for either vapourbotteers to use or tournament writers to demonstrate why something isnt going to work.

I wrote the beginners guide to help streamline entry into vapourbots, and I think all we really need here is something similar which focuses more thoroughly on the mechanical aspects of design.

What I think we really dont need is rules which only serve to overcomplicate things when you can generally tell if someone has done it or not, and if they havent done it then we refer them to the help thread or this hypothetical Beginners Guide to Vapourbot Mechanics.
