What's interesting, I think, is ... What's interesting, I think, is choosing a system and refining it. I'm definitely interested in exploring the deeper aspects of a system which reveal multiple layers.

I have no problem with ... I have no problem with a system that's built to protect against inflation. It still requires effort on the part of the player to win those points. It's not reward without effort. You're right, I can't say achievements are inherently bad, and I never did, everything is shades of grey. ... |

Wow, I really appreciate the ... Wow, I really appreciate the compliment. We have a fascinatingly deep field and I love every part of it.
