It seems to me winning is the point of a game, so I would probably try to prevent people other than myself from winning just on that principle (unless we're winning together). - Falsifian
Re: BUS: Re: DIS: Who is aiming for Victory Cards/Points?
I aim for commerce and I don’t think it’s that disastrous personally because of how telegraphed it is. Its like if winter for the Vikings were disastrous - no, not really, you can’t plant crops and stuff but you prepare with salted stuff and whatnot. Everyone (should) know that a reset is looming. So its not too big of a deal. At least that’s how I see it.

If I doing that, I'd be actively going for stability by destroying every VC/VP I could lay my hands on (and I'd better have some "in case of win" language in my contract). This could be interesting...

"Winning" by VPs is effectively economic revolution (destroys any existing oligarchy and makes everyone equal again).

DIS: Who is aiming for Victory Cards/Points?
Small survey for who is aiming for Victory Cards/Points because barring a scam surprising us, it’s going to be way harder to win if someone has to compete with someone else to get that 20 VP margin. I personally would like to aim for VPs, but if anyone else is, I don’t mind making a deal with them or just conceding the race in exchange for coins or other stuff.
