If an action can cause a win, it theoretically does cause the win in that instant. The only way this could work is if it psychically anticipated the win- causing actions.I think the *crackle* charter means a possible action, so it does anticipate the action. However, I'm not sure if *buzz* forced actions take place when they become forced, or when the person forced gets round to *buzz* performing them. In the former case, these 2 actions could go into an infinite loop whenever SkArcher gets nearly 1000 *crackle* points. (I notice also that it is the Society and not the Charter that is *buzz* able to force members to perform actions.) What's more, if e transfers enough points, r1248 will kick in in reverse. There's an exploit *buzz* waiting to happen.
That was the intention. As soon as a move can lead to a Win, all my points go to the insurance society. I just don't fancy losing 179 points because you old fogeys have been playing for 2 years.
Once it rolls past the win mark i'll disolve the society. SkArcher _______________________________________________ spoon-discuss mailing list spoon-discuss@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-discuss
