Re: Improvement in Score
I'm not sure I agree with distinguishing between 'rounds with a superpower' and 'rounds without superpowers'. It seems to me there's a ton of blocking in both types of rounds. That's a side-note, though.

So your answer to 'why is this a problem?' is 'politics is boring, war is fun'? Is that a fair characterization?

A couple more questions: do you feel blocking is more common now than it was 10, 20, 30 rounds ago? If so, why do you think this is? What's changed? (I'm also interested in other people's answers!)
