I think I see, Matt. It's complicated but it would mean that more people can join in.
I got the lines-and-rhizomes expression from Jane, who has used the 'R' word twice. I confess I don't know for sure what she meant by it (it may have a specialist meaning in the art world) but I have taken it as a reproductive method where a root extrudes lumps that break off and make other plants, which seemed to be what Jane was trying to avoid.
Orwn has given us a root with a rhizome. It's little bloke's head. If one were to break it off and plant it, it might turn into a basil bush (Shut up, Johnny, you are a bad influence on me...)
Jane, would your game still work if we applied Matt's idea to this thread, or were you hoping to keep it exclusive for a bit longer?
