About claiming, I don't see any upside at the moment for any red towny to claim. It would not be confirmed by the flip in any case. If I'm reading the rules right, all we will get is the color.

Also: is the certificate problem cleared up for others? It doesn't seem to be for me. Obviously, I can get here, but having trouble staying logged in.

1. I more or less hinted at this with my sideways glance / comment on John Conway.

http://pi.math.cornell.edu/~lipa/mec/lesson6.html

For our immediate use in this game, it informs the entire notion of having 3 players doing X, or Y to each other, or to fourth player. AFAICT / AFAIK / FWIW I think even the greatest minds on problems similar to this, have resolved that such problems are unsolvable and cannot be determined from the first steps, if ever.

We can talk ideas on this until we are blue, .... green, or red in the face. And it still wont help.

Until I get more concrete / mod confirmed / certified information, I'm not going to invest too much time on that part of the game yet. We need answers, answers will come. It's no less than for any other Day 1. It is however, a lot more than any other Day 1.

At least for our group, and I would assume the games we play in our sphere.

An arms length from the above, one can take the above to inform as to my early vote on EW. You wouldn't move as far as you did, with all of this "" Color "" logic .... unless you had Perfect Information.


2. Your second paragraph ..... see my point 1 here. More or less the same.

3. I posted into the "About this board" post that covers the certificate issue back on the main screen of Giraffe. They are aware, and Giraffe has even stated that the date should have been 2025.

So, I think, as far as I can trust this board, I can trust being here, despite the certificate. I mean, you know, I think we are good. It's kinda like that one scene I had with Shannon, and she said I couldn't safeword.....

I digress.

Suffice to say, by my own twisted logic, I feel that we are beyond safe and good, as far as the certificate goes. Obviously, by virtue of the fact I'm already playing.
