When describing the game to the writer, another writer told him:

Quote
it’s “sort of like playing chess against yourself, only you’re always a total bastard”. Awesome.

Hahahahahaha.

Opened your save. My computer wept. Switched to the ST planet and ship icons filled my screen, so I zoomed out. Game told me that it _was_ totally zoomed out. You could seriously walk from one end of the inner grav well to the other without getting your feet cold.

Thank you very much!  I think their community and ours trade members a lot.  Or rather, introduce members to both communities, and lose members at neither.  We get a lot of traffic from them, and I'm always mentioning DF whenever I can, heh.

Indeed it is, as there are some possible adverse consequences for not having such a plan.

For example, you might just accidentally play Yggdrasil while Labyrinth is still in effect out of carelessness:

Man, if D2 had these ranged-attack minotaurs, people wouldn't be running them , they'd be running, screaming and on fire....

I wish I had interpreted that description properly since I'm useless at chess and most turn based games (only exception is some 4Xs) and I feel equally lost here. Most of the time I only do stuff because I feel like I have to do SOMETHING with my turns, I'm always tempted to say "it's fine the way it is, let it play out".
