The references to Vantage Master Online should direct to the following

I would encourage people to try this game, even if it is pretty
far-fetched in the realm of chess variants.

I am aware that Game Courier is not well equipped to handle this game. 
It's actually one of those games which was designed to be played with...
get this... ACTUAL, PHYSICAL PIECES, IN REAL LIFE!

*waits for everyone on the CVP to gasp*

Anyways, to answer your other questions:  'Clear' refers to the clear,
colorless pieces, while 'translucent' refers to the colored pieces. 
Opaque means either black or white, not clear or translucent.  Orientation
is a term borrowed from videogames, to mean an orientation with a single
part of the Spectrum, analogous to having an elemental orientation.  And
the number of Pawns and Drones which can be stacked depends on their
function, be it to determine the owner of the piece, in which case the
answer is one, or to determine how much health a piece has or how many
spells left a Cleric has, in which case the rules should clearly state the
number, unless I have forgotten something.

And the references to VMO should still point to the link.

Nice game. And a nice ZRF challenge. I've made a ZRF file for this game,
but I wonder whether I interpret the rules correctly.

In the requirements, 10 white and black Drones are listed. For both white
and black, these are seven Drones (for each Wizard one) plus four spell
Drones for the Cleric, which makes 11. Does this mean that the Cleric is
also a spell Drone by itself and actually has three spell Drones? (Like
health Pawns). In my ZRF, I used four spell Drones (so, the actual total
number of opaque Drones is 11 per color).

Another thing is that when you are in a bad position, you can build a wall
of spirits (say three per color of which you still have a Wizard). And then
keep your Wizard behind and adjacent to their color's spirits. When a
spirit dies, just resummon it on the same position. So, if I interpret the
rules right, the game is a dead draw.

Does this mean that is shouldn't be legal to resummon on the position a
spirit just died? Or that when you slay a unit in fight, you occupy the
position? Or can units even move through occupied positions?

Thanks for catching that -- it should be 11 per side.

One thing which has just occured to me is that I never defined how much
damage Clerics should take -- they're supposed to always take 2 damage (3
if the attacking piece has a same-color bonus) but I apparently never wrote
that down anywhere.  D'oh.

Pieces should be able to move through spaces occupied by friendly pieces
only, as in Vantage Master Online, which the game was originally based on.
 This was also never written down explicitly.  Double D'oh.

As for the spirit spamming issue, the self-destruct can become valuable in
a situation like that -- once your spirit is about to die, you can do extra
damage to 'the wall,' and eventually break a hole in it -- if they're
really trying to keep up a wall they won't use it themselves, which gives
you an advantage.  Did you take this into account?  (Just the same, I will
consider revising the summoning rules.)

Is there any way this page could be converted into a 'member-submitted'
page so I could edit it?
