I thought I'd make one last proposal tonight, and then call it quits for
proposing anything else this evening. A bundle-proposal for three rules:


Delivery Is Not Free [Jota]

I. Some tokens may be designated "prize tokens". A prize token, in
   addition to its name and location, also has a value (a non-negative
   integer) and a destination (a room on the map). If a token's
   destination ceases to exist as a part of the map, then its destination
   will be set to West of Nowhere. If West of Nowhere no longer exists,
   its destination will be set to the room whose name is alphabetically
   last in the list of rooms, not counting articles. Rooms whose names
   consist solely of articles shall not be considered for this reckoning.

II. Any player who drops a prize token in its destination room will be
    awarded a number of brownie points equal to its value. Any player
    whose servant drops a prize token in its destination room will be
    awarded a number of brownie points equal to half of its value, rounded
    up. In either case, that player may now choose what room the token's
    destination will be. If no selection is made by the end of the
    player's turn, the token's destination is unchanged.

III. After a player has been awarded brownie points for a prize token
     being dropped in its destination room, that player is prohibited from
     picking up that token or causing his or her servant to do so until
     after the token has been picked up by at least one other player or
     servant.
