Re: [eia] maintaining the map

["J.J. Young" <jjy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think that since the system could not be perfect, it could lead to
misunderstandings if a player was not carefully keeping track of which corps
numbers are definite public knowledge and which are guesswork on Kyle's
part.  So I would be against using the emap in this way, although not
vehemetly so.  Besides, I enjoy the "military intelligence" aspect of the
game.
