Re: rotating referees

The method that has been employed by the referees/players that
I have liked the best is where each referee runs her/his own
universe, but the various universes are contected via Gateways
The model we use is based upon TFT.  We have had a couple of
TFT universes and a RQ universe interconnected without too much
trouble.

ON THE SUBJECT OF MULTIVERSES:

One of the best layouts I've seen involved home "world" built inside
a truly tremendous crater.  There was a rather large sea in the middle
and these wonderfully high mountains all around the outside (we never
tried to breach them for it was clear that we would need life-support
systems to climb out of the crater, and there was plenty to do inside
it).  The referee connected this crater world to a multiverse though
a room of six TFT Gateways of 3 meter diameter.  Though each one
you had a whole new world in which to explore/conquer/die.  The goal
he set up for people to strive for (if one wished) was citizenship
in the home city which involed the attainment of certain skills, a
certain amount of wealth, etc.
