As a fairly new faction-owner I am tempted to say: I will not use bugs.
It's the same as cheating in an online game. You destroy your own fun.
If I find out that not using bugs will let my faction fall behind in a
way that spoils the game for me, I will drop out.
I think things like fairness (and not using bugs IS fair. Using them is
unfair. Even if anyone CAN use them it doesn't make it more fair) are
more important in the first place than having "success" with your
faction.
I couldn't enjoy success when I knew it isn't based on good play and
skillfull tactics but on bugs.

That's right. After all we are paying custumors. If WE do our part in
making Olympia a better game by reporting the bugs, it's Rich's job to
fix them or at least let the players know what's happening.
Just my two cents of course... (or should that be $ 2.50)
