I guess that bit about “mutual consent” was sort of a cryptic remark on
my part.
What I was trying to say is that I generally feel everyone except the
players should butt out unless there’s a dispute. If I suggest that a
particular game be played or offer “official” rules as a third party, I
won’t mind at all if the players agree to do it differently or plug a
loophole. I think it’s important for everyone involved to have that
attitude.
