Default Re: Proposition 46

An interesting interpretation of the law, and one I hadn't thought of. In that case, the right to make war (granted by a proposition) would extend only to provinces controlled *exclusively* by the allowed opponent(s). In which case, one could become immune to attack (at least in castled provinces) by getting a buddy to keep a scout besieging each of your provinces. You'd lose half your income, true, but that might be better than losing your castles...

I don't think that makes as much sense, though; more sensible to me is that the right to make war not be susceptible to such tricks. If I'm allowed to attack you, I'm allowed to attack you in any province where you've got a presence, regardless of anyone else who might be around. This also seems in the spirit of the charter, which explicitly allows for a contested province, no matter how it became contested, to fall to either party (and the people of Man are rejoicing at the return of their long-lost land... )


As far as more mundane administration goes, I've received turns from everyone except Aby, Mari, Pyth, T'ien, and Van. It's probably at least as hard to write the abbreviations as it is to write out the full names... Just a random comment on life, for your amusement. Or non-amusement.
Also, I like the name of the vehicle "Mercury Villager". Makes me think there should be a "Honda Peasant" and a "Ford Serf". I also like how there are bottles of juice that say things like "TROPICAL TWIST FURY flavored" - because there's no such thing as tropical twist fury, only flavors that imitate it.
Yeah...
