Re: [spoon-discuss] Re: [Spoon-business] NWEEK 30 BALLOT


I think I closed the original issue already, saying that my statement wasn't meant so seriously, but a few points are raised here that I'll respond to...

From: "Glotmorf" <glotmorf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Excuse me. If, by My Baby, you're referring to the Societies rule, I would like to clarify...

We did not argue because you wanted to make changes to My Baby. We argued because you wanted to make changes that prevented M-Tek from functioning as it always had, that prevented WBE from functioning as it was intended, that overrode a peaceful negotiation Wonko and I had accomplished, and that introduced a significant exploitable flaw.

I don't think that societies were originally meant to fuction in the way M-Tek did. In my view, it was in the same catagory as the voting-gremlins and stealing-points ones. I took away the abilities that I felt abuseable and unintended. As for WBE, my prop came out before that agreement was made, and would have changed my prop to reflect that if you hadn't made your own prop. Once you made yours, I figured that was that, let the issue be decided seperatly. Same goes for the 'only actions societies may take' thing. But let's not dredge up the past.

The aspect of our arguing that touched upon the Societies rule being My Baby had to do with claims that the Societies rule was obviously totally flawed and absolutely had to be rebuilt from the ground up. That's what made it personal. There may have been a flaw or two in it, but that doesn't make it obviously totally flawed.

"claims that the Societies rule was obviously totally flawed". I NEVER SAID THAT. I repeatedly stated that it had some minor issues that did not require a complete rebuild. A lot of what I was doing was expanding what societies could do, making way for them do many things without a rule having to say 'oh, and societies can do this too' or something. With all that, plus the fixes, I figured a rewrite would be the way to go.
