This is in regard to 2 other comments. (1) 2005-04-03 Mark Thompson had the
impression that '... when a player defines his last piece, all of THAT
PLAYER's pieces go back to being undefined' but also pointed out that
the rules don't actually state to limit it to the player's own pieces. 
CarlosCarlos and I had discussed this matter and came to agreement [at
least for for our game] that when the last Bario was known all pieces
would then revert to Bario.  This prevents a Bario reset from taking place
on every turn when a player is down to just two Barios (or 1 undefined on
board and 1 undefined in the holding zone).  In our way of playing when a
player is down to his last Bario it will be known and will therefore
remain seen as its last designated piece asignment... even if the other
player must reset his or her Barios.
(2) 2005-04-04 Larry Smith stated, 'I like the idea that ALL the quantum
on the field must be defined before the cycle starts again, and ALL fall
back into the un-defined state when the last one is actually
moved(defined).'   The rule Carlos Carlos and I are using does not
require that last Bario to move, only that it 'be defined.'  Thus, in
our game I currently have 2 Barios undefined.  If I move 1 the other is
known and CarlosCarlos can then define one of his remaining 2 Barios and
the new cycle will start (with all Barios being reset.  I do not want that
to happen so I am refraining from moving either Bario as moving 1 will
define both.  Larry Smith's rule idea would allow me to move one and
still avoid a new cycle, even though the remaining Bario would now be
known ( 'defined by deduction' in this case).
