[MR] Cloven Fruit

[chagankhulan at clan-whitewing.org]

   All well and good - I remember the era of the Cloven Fruit and it can
be fun but your last sentence is where the problem would lie. "as long
as everyone agrees to follow the same set of rules....."
   Not everyone does and that's why it died out in the past. While I see a
majority of people trying to maintain a certain standard of courtesy
and chivalry there is a larger (than in past) percentage who don't.
That's the sad part.
