Re: Poll: Is Clam Hording Too Good?

KO has said that he never wants game play dictated to a narrow set of choices. On large maps, Clam hording-which is not fun-is clearly necessary if you want compete.

Compounding the problem, it requires zero skill, and combined with wish, can allow a "dolt" to win a large game against a superior player who refuses to use such a lame tactic. And it is a lame tactic.
