The whole problem is that no one really knows where PA Team want to take the game. Personally, I don't think they know it, either. This in turn leads to a complete fragmentation of the development process, in which each suggestion is looked at through a microscope, with a total disregard for the larger picture. There is no area in which this is more easily visible than the user interface, though I'll leave an analysis thereof as an exercise to the reader.

So, realising that I have no idea what PA Team wants, here's the top 3 of what I think should be done:
1. The scoring system should be fixed (rewarding war)
2. It should be made easier for new players to integrate into the community (durable newbie protection)
3. A long term decision should be taken regarding the tag limit (and stuck to for at least 5 rounds)
