OK Harpy, my evil little sister, here is what I think about your analysis. Max isn't playing a game, but he is letting his grand experiment run its course. Were he playing a game, he would manipulate the pieces. What he is doing is exactly the opposite. He refuses to manipulate the pieces. It is MY OPINION (got that Rog, my opinion and nothing more) that he intends this place to be what it is. He purposely imposes very few rules in order for this petri dish of cultures, personalities, interests, and talents to be what it will be. At some point in the future it will be a wonderful subject for research. It is a microcosm of what the world is. I don't think he set out for it to be such, but he has let it evolve.

So your horseshit fingerpointing won't do a lot, because doing what you want would change the essential nature of Mudcat. This is why he doesn't want a bunch of rigid rules, just general guidelines. Do we make mistakes? Sure, that is part of it.

Whine away, Rog. You are just adding seasoning to the soup. You could stand to learn to cook better though.
