 * What? I made this game!
 * Check the edit log
 * And I was the one who jumpstarted it when it stalled.
 * Could we change the rules to only allow one state per user?
 * No.
 * Why Not? No other game is like that!
 * You can calm down or get out.
 * I'm not angry. I'm just confused.
 * Actually, alot of games are like this. They actually went very well and things were relatively interesting. Sorry if I seemed rude, I was just mad because we decided to reset the game again. I am fine with making it so its only one state per user.
