They develop strategies based around the rules of the game. You can't develop a strategy where your opening move is bringing out your bishop, because that's against the rules.Originally Posted by Godly
I agree, but only because stretching the game's mechanics are not breaking them. What you guys did was break them (or try to) and that's no bueno.What I took note of is Sheister calling cowing an ABUSE of exploring mechanism. In his eyes, the legal strategy that players came up with called "cowing" is an ABUSE of mechanics. My point is THAT line of logic is VERY dangerous and what I am worried about when the noobs come out of the woodwork to start filing complaints about everything that was once considered strategy. We need to draw a clear distinction between BALANCING and ABUSE.
You can turn off signatures on your side if you want, or you could ignore godly entirely. It's not annoying enough for me to warrant changing it out of annoyance alone.
You missed the point entirely. Godly was discussing limits on strategy games ruining the strategy, so I brought up the ultimate strategy game, which very clearly has limits.
@ topsy - there's nothing wrong with people reported suspected game abuse.
