I could have swore there was a similar reference to you knowing how to use
boats to move alot of troops, that was within the rules.
Anyways, your justification for using this movement BUG without telling
EVERYONE is that you were having a BUG used against you.
The BUG you say that was used against you was not that SFW did not need to
be fully learned was not announced to you, but that you were not told how to
use it best to your advantage (that's a mouthful).
Well I say that from the quote above you know how to use a method of
movement within the rules that I don't know. Therefore you are using a
"feature" that is wrong to use unless you tell us all what it is.
As a matter of fact you better tell me all the methods you have that you
think I may not know about. Otherwise you are using a BUG against me.
If you do not tell us your methods then your justification for using this
"feature" movement BUG before telling EVERYONE about it, is INVALID.
You say "We used the rules that everyone would agree are not a bug, and you
just don't understand them well enough". I think perhaps you didn't know the
rules well enough when you heard of the SFW BUG and are blaming others for
what YOU didn't see.

I think you should tell me the best way to destroy a heavily defended
castle. Your point?

Alot of people miss the importance of trade, too. That's not a
justification for using a bug against anyone that is trading.
Well this BUG is out now. Why am I still arguing?
I guess my wish list is that all admit using this BUG was wrong. Greg
already admitted that it was wrong and I believe all others have as well so
that wish is complete.
I would like Greg to admit that, not explaining every possible use of a BUG
after EVERYONE knows about it, is not as bad as using a BUG that NOONE else
knows about. My guess is that that will never happen.
The last part of my wish list is that everyone agree to report all known
BUGs publicly. Greg has thrown a great fear into me about this game by
implying that others, perhaps even himself is right now hoarding other BUGs
that they are using. This movement "feature" is the only case I've seen of
someone being caught using a BUG that not EVERYONE knew about. I hope this is
the only such case or I will have to rethink staying in Olympia.
Hopefully for the last time,
