   Good point.  I've wondered the same about rules such as, "You're not   
   allowed to weaponize any of these rules."   
      
   Unfortunately for Balticon's concom, lots of fans have long since   
   concluded that the only way to win the Balticon game is not to play.   
      
   And with the current economy, I think it's unlikely that the vacuum   
   left by Balticon's demise will be filled with another con.
