This is what I really didn't want to see happen. Arguing over every single word choice (land vs coast. entertainer vs. specialist). NOTHING IS GOING TO GET DONE THAT WAY!!! I garuntee you, that even after 6 months of arguing over a ruleset, there'll be people who aren't happy with it. Why is it that when we bite off more than we can chew (DG2 - emperor level), or get a bad start (this game), we wind up bickering over everything? As for "paying attention", who's going to pay attention when there's a novel of laws to read? I bet you that some people just vote "yes" or "no" because one of the most vocal people say so, not because they read every period and every comma. I never said I was trying to break the rules. I read about 126 tiles, and, based on prior games, that meant "and coastal tiles".
This poll is just that, a poll. Let's leave it that way. Cyc, you uttered those immortal words once... "Let's put this poll down, and back away. Slowly."
It's only a game. Let's not get all bent out of shape.
