   Another change for the game.  Due to the amount of time I have had recently (read none), I'm going to have to take over giving out the toys when someone tags a flag.  I don't always get a chance to look over everyone's programming as they turn it in, so I usually find out that someone has tagged up as I'm running through the turn.  If I keep sending out e-mails to ask people to pick toys for other players, it's going to slow things down while I wait for the return message.
   So, what I'll do is pick out what I think is the worst toy possible for that 'bot and give it to them.  Which, I believe, is pretty much what you guys have been doing.

   This would have been out sooner...but I took a break after plotting everything out, and slept for half a day!  I have a stiff neck, but geez do I feel better.
   Lets see here, two dead 'bots and an average of 6.5 lasers hits a round...not too shabby!
