I remember an article in one of the gaming magazines in which a columnist said that the constant bickering over trivia was killing the niche strategy market. Now I'm new to the turn-based strategy world; SEIV is my first such game so I don't know how it is with other games. But I can see that the profits from niche games must be tiny (and are much more likely to be losses). If we want these games to prosper or even to exist we need to be supportive and understanding. For the most part, this is a very supportive and understanding community.

Law suits are very expensive in time, money and mental energy. A law suit could easily cause a game to cease to exist. I really would like the SE series to continue because I'm having so much fun playing PBEM.

I think we all want the same thing: gaming goodness and fun. I also think some of us have chosen tactics that are detrimental to that end. Unless the game being played is not computer based...
