[Bnomic-private] Orc's stuff

[Orc In A Spacesuit]

I have posted the current state of my prop, and some more stuff, online.
Remeber, this is a work in progress, so don't slam me yet, but I do welcome 
comments, including those pointing out things I missed.

The database there doesn't really have useful values yet.  It's currently 
just got some of the structure made.

As for the problems with scripting and the big prop and how things change:
My prop is being designed with flexibility in mind.  For minor additions, 
very little wording is needed; the groundwork covers the contingincies 
(sp?).  For exceptions, the entire thing is designed to let exceptions be 
all over, without setting of conflictions.  And for sweeping changes, all 
the elements are encapsulated, so if you for some reason wanted to make the 
grid multi-dimensional, add a new mini-game, redo the time system, whatever, 
you can do that part without disrupting the rest.
With scripting, if done right, things can be easily adapted to the rules.  
Just as we write rules in English, so can things be written in code, often 
with ease.  Making a baseball minigame?  Hmm, just need add a few database 
items (Baseball, bats), set a few properties(Baseball Player, 1st Base), and 
add a couple of actions (Pitch, Swing) and, if feeling fancy, some scripts 
(determine if hitting is legal).

In any case with the automated system I propose, the Admin still has the 
final say on EVERYTHING.  All the scripts do is make _suggestions_ based on 
the rules (say whether it thinks something is legal), or take default 
actions (changing position of a player from a move action) IF THE ADMIN 
CHOOSES TO.  If the Admin wants, he go do everything manually.
