Default Re: New PBW Game: Deep Oceans of Europa

You know, Geoschmo does have some free time on his hands, but I wouldn't believe it is wasted. Or do you mean his efforts to keep PBW running are also a mere waste of time (and money as well)?

So, the key word here is "terrorist". As you can tell, the root of this word is "terror", which basically means a terrorist is someone who uses terror. However, you would have to consider what kind of terror is used. A terrorist Empire could very well be an Empire relying on attacks on civilians, lurking in storms, launching attacks against passing transports, and so on. It is called terror as well. (Of course, in the Real World, terrorism mainly describes bombings and other such acts, but the world could also apply to regimes instead of networks/individuals)

That's why you could actually consider this joke was indeed a rule, preventing some tactics for some obscure reason. Heck, even mines could fall under this too generic definition, or drones, or even carpet bombing a planet, among a lot of other possible actions within the game. Thus the misunderstandings that happened on this forum, as the term "terrorism" is way too generic and could apply to too many situations within SEIV.
