Talisman or not doesn't matter to me as long as we all agree that its OK (not only legal ) to take it.

The openers however changes the whole flow of the game. I'm definitely against it.

I tend to agree with Primitive here ( ). I never ban openers in a KOTH game when there is a one-planet start (and no allies). If you have the chutzpah to research them and get them (in lieu of other things...then more power to you, I say). But in team games...it DOES just become a race.

As to the Talisman? I'm considering it right now and judging the time it takes to get it. Or am I? OK, I'm not. But Alneyan made me this way . You know, misinformation. Or is it? Heck, I don't even know now!
