Time for some politicking! OK, by the numbers: <ol> <p><li> Minor. OK, but won't have a huge effect on the game. <p><li> Weird, but maybe interesting. <p><li> Interesting. I <i>think</i> it can be implemented in Zillions. <p><li> Too passive for my taste. The resulting game would be too positional. <p><li> Well, this one is odd in that there is no proposed rule to make Camel Chess a form of drop Chess. If we adopt this one, I suppose someone could then propose one, but really, this seems like an orphan to me. <p><li> I like this one! I suspect mostly it would happen as a result of a player setting up his own pieces to promote a Pawn. And what happens if you end up with a line of King:Pawn:King? Maybe promotion to Commoner? <p><li> Cute idea, but it seems unlikely to have much actual effect on the game. </ol>
