A week is counted starting from midnight Sunday in the administrator's time zone. The length of a week may be 1 hour more or less than 7 days in the case of adjustments for Daylight Savings Time.

There is no "point system" or anything for now.

I don't know what you're talking about. Personally, I've got 50 points. They're not *good* for anything, but the rules state quite clearly that I've got them.

I don't think that's a reasonable stance. You have to allow *some* leeway for interpreting natural language or this game can never get anywhere. By stating that some players receive points, it is implicit (in a safe, unambiguous way) that there exist a game entity called "points" which can be possessed by players. Obviously future rules may have something to say about what points are and what they're good for. But I think the invokation and assignment of them is clearly enough to establish their existence.

Itīs at least bad style if not without meaning. There is nothing that a player (in this "domain") naturally has besides a name maybe. But itīs much more meaningless to discuss to much about it [Wink]

Note: "to" is correct here *yippie*

I really don't see anything wrong with it. After all, points may have some meaning later on. This is just preparation for that time. It's like the territory proposal -- totally meaningless right now, but rich with possibilities.
