Re: PBW : Paranoia2
Spirit of the Rules didn't hold up well in the Last game. Without a clear definition, people played to different victory conditions. Hopefully the spirit can be explained quite clearly beforehand, so players may most or all agree on what game they are playing, and not get surprised when the game ends in a way that seems to violate the spirit they had in mind.
E.g. Last time the weakest player made almost no effort to stay alive, and got practically all his neighbors to hate him by attacking them, ignoring their gifts, etc. Another player who was one of the strongest then decided to try to hold the weakest player hostage to convince his target to destroy his own system grav shields, because he didn't think he could beat his target, and when that didn't work, he just killed off the weakest player (who wasn't his target) to end the game. It seemed to me those were both pretty big violations of what I thought the spirit of the game was, since the main rules were:
1. Stay Alive
2. Kill your target.
3. Keep all other players alive.
