Wikipedia is the best thing ever.

The filibuster procedure seems very sound to me. The one thing, and it may be too impractical given all the complexities of the existing rules, is that in a filibuster, the only time anyone else gets to talk on the floor is if the senator yields to a question. It follows that in order for other players to post on the board, the village filibuster also would have to yield the board for a question. Other players would still all be able to PM each other, and indeed it might be a courtesy for anyone around to let the those on whichever side of the pond is in the dark that a filibuster is going on.

This is going to be a fantastic game, y'all. I'm psyched.
