OK, now for a real reply.  I currently play tribe net, and have noticed no
copyrights on their rules.  In any case, while making it a free game is a
noble cause, I think you may be underestimating the amount of effort
involved.  I've been playing for over a "real" year, and I know others
who've been at it over three years.  I wonder if the game would still be
going if there wasn't a little payback.  I'm sure it still works out to a
crumby wage, but one I don't mind paying for a well moderated game run in a
timely fashion.

On a game note, I'd suggest that the most important point I'd like to make
is to get a well written rule book done up front, and make sure all the
players have it.  Also, don't allow a lot of rules changes during the course
of the game, and for those that you do allow make sure they get into the
latest revision of the rules.  Those two points are my biggest critiques of
TribeVibes (Tribe Net).  However, the changes you do suggest are just what
I'd been thinking about to add a little spice to the game.

I think I'm a little too busy to play, but best of luck.
