[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] I’m busy for the next few days, but will probably start another Botticelli thread early next week. If anyone else wants to start another in the meantime, go right ahead. [/QUOTE] I’d like to try this end of things. [Rules described here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botticelli_(game)) or just skim through a few of the recent threads. I’m going to rely on my brain and not Google-fu for trying to answer the Indirect Qs (the way it should be IMO), so I expect I’ll be giving out a lot of DQs! I am MC. ---
