IF we had the rules in place today, I might feel "obligated" to play a square (for the sake of say MKC or SNY who might be jonesin') even though I really don't feel the vibe of what's happening right now.

On the otherhand, if there were an alternate grid the visual thing might ring my bell and I would jump right in. (... or perhaps the alternate grid is an evil idea, one that would suck me into too many hours of collaborative play...)
