Poll: Let's go bonk some heads.

[Ben Kenobi]

The people have spoken.

I'm reluctant to break one of the rules laid down by the folks who started this game for expediency, but the damage has already been done.

[cavebear]

Expediency it might be, but there is a fair helping of survival added to the question. We set some very difficult requirements on ourselves at the start, and I think we did not fully realize how difficult they were.

It was far harder than we expected to develop enough resources to get off the island in the first place, and it was a real restriction to deny ourselves Diplomats. If we can pull this off even with some damage to our reputation, I think we will have done well.

Time to move forward.
