[ASLML] Unmounted Mapboards

[Airius]

I like to use a slightly fatter string, such as the
cord on a retractable employee badge.  It may be a
little thicker, but its easy to pull it straight and
its retractable, so that just makes it cool.  It
really doesn't matter to me much. Just like how I
prefer to play with the IIFT, but if my opponent wants
to use the thinnest hair they can find or the IFT, I
just let them.  The only thing that matters to me is
that we both agree to the same piece of "string"
before the game starts :)
