I prefer the minimalist, more relaxed atmosphere as much as the next person, moreso perhaps because I've been that admin.
The issues raised though are not ones I can take seriously at this point. I'm probably going to be one of the more vocal proponents for banning unit gifting in these larger games, but a blanket ban isn't really the same issue as trying to police the shades of grey that have occurred in previous games with stupendously large rulesets.
I think it's unreasonable to objectively complain about a GA sale due to the turn it occurred. I think that given BGN tried to buy Plakos great people and Plako failed to sell them around the same time, it's disingenuous to say that Joeys sale alone was an issue given just how widespread those sales seemed to be amongst the leaders.
Fin, OH, for you:
