It's true I once blockaded two cities in a double move at the very end of a game many years ago. This mistake was discussed and resolved long ago, and did not affect the outcome at all. If 2metraninja feels that a continuous abuse of a serious exploit across the 100+ turns remaining in a game years later is somehow an appropriate response to an ancient non-issue, then sadly I don't think we can proceed with rational discussions.
A vote split as close as possible to 50/50 indicates the presence, rather than lack, of serious controversy.for example the ISDG vote - 5 out of 9 teams voted YES to all espionage missions
If you honestly think a few applications of 200 EP is an appropriate cost for destroying 50000+ beakers (not to mention hundreds of promotions), then it seems we'll have to part ways. It is quite clearly a broken game element.And CSM is absolutely not the same as infinite techs from Liberalism or building two things in city in a single turn or getting enormous repetitive GPT deals from ally or whatever exploit. It is just very strong technique in the right situation.
No-one's said anything about nukes. I don't have any issue with them.Like nukes for example. Are they banned from each and every game just because you play in it?
