Kudos to JT for informing me that not only was this sent to acka-research, it was sent to the Muppetlabs version, which is now defunct. I gift JT all my A$ and a kudo for pointing this out.

I decided after only a couple of rounds that Bacon takes too long. I would rather see a different change, however. I think it would be a better idea to change things so that instead of losing points for failed challenges and the like, your opponent gains points. TI think this would lead to a game that was shorter than what we have now, but longer than a first person to 5 points version.
