If not, then I vote no.  I like the worlds where you can really
shot-em-up! though I have become a marksman thanks to some of the
"rabbit" worlds (where folks only get two shots).

Any chance you can load different rule sets on different days?  Then we
could get a variety:
  Mono Monday - one shot at a time
  Two-fer Tuesday - two shots
  Wild Wednesdays - eight shots
  Thunderous Thursdays - 5 shots, no limits on GM or Laser
  Frantic Friday - 5 shots (as now)

I agree with Tanner, -1
The flag is already limited by distance.

I've played on some cool maps, the ones with a multilayer feel add a new
dimension to the game.  I'm willing to help do a map.
