For the love of God, stop comparing Planetarion to chess. The two are nothing alike.

That said, my take on this is that everything that's currently possible ingame should be allowed, period. Note how this is different from "adding more ingame limitations as time passes". People will always find ways around current rules, and turning it around (defining what is allowed, rather than defining what is not) effectively reduces the creativity (and intelligence) needed to win to near-zero. Any retarded monkey can churn out a tried-and-true method for the umpteenth time in order to win.

Furthermore, rules about 'support' planets, OOAOOG defence, donating, farming, et cetera, are just detrimental to the overall enjoyment people get out of the game, because whenever they do something that is technically defined as illegal by the EULA (e.g. everything) they have to be afraid of getting closed. Additionally, these days smooth talking can get one out of a lot of trouble, whereas less people less capable of using the EULA against itself find themselves closed for minor event (see arc/bintara).

Ideally, there would be no need for multihunters at all.

P.S. Why was there a new topic needed for this? "It is always better to post in an existing thread than to start a new one"

They were all missing Mary and he felt a contented smug feeling wash over him. He would have given them a coy little wave if the roof hadn't collapsed just then.

So he gave them the coy little wave and realized it probably would have been more effective if he hadn't been lying on their turkey. Last edited by Mzyxptlk; 5 Jun 2007 at 18:19.
