All right, let's try this again.  As things stand now, my Bnomic character 
Bridgeweaver loses nothing of value by Orc's win.  I do applaud eir 
cleverness.  That has nothing to do with the fact that the character of 
Bridgeweaver is singularly unaffected by what to me should be a significant 
event.  It isn't as of now.  I'm trying to think of ways to increase its 
in-game significance..  This is why I approve of the general direction 
Wonko has espoused in shifting winning over to the grid.

I'm not sure I agree with your characterization of my vision for the grid 
(from another message), if I have overstated the case it is because I don't 
want the idea so watered down that it is meaningless.  Yes, I'd rather play 
a game more like Nuclear War than Risk, the variables interest me more, the 
restraints imposed by enlightened self-interest are to me a fascinating 
addition to any game of conquest, economic or military or otherwise.  I 
will tend to advocate (by proposal) and support changes that move the grid 
toward this ideal and oppose proposals that restrict this tendency.  That 
is my vision, and one that I will advocate strongly.
